  • Gifted children have been studied by educators for many years. However, gifted adults have not been researched as extensively. The subject of this study was to determine whether characteristics which are recognized in the literature as unique to gifted children are also unique to gifted adults. The study explored questions such as: Do gifted college-age individuals have unique characteristics which are not shared by their nongifted peers? If there are unique characteristics what might they be? Do the parents of college-age individuals agree or disagree with their children's perceptions of selected personal characteristics? Are there significant differences between male and female gifted college-age individuals? If there are significant differences what are they? To explore these questions one hundred twenty college-age students, their parents, and one faculty member each were surveyed. The survey developed was a Likert scale containing forty items. Students marked their self-perception for each item. Parents and faculty marked each item indicating how they perceived the student. The student, parent, and faculty responses were compared by t-test to determine whether they showed statistically significant differences in personal characteristics between the gifted and nongifted students. Students' self-perceptions were compared to parent and faculty perceptions. Sixty of the students surveyed had been identified as "gifted" by the public school they attended in Oregon. The other sixty students had not been identified as "gifted" by the Oregon public school they attended. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
