  • In this session we will discuss some of the ways in which profoundly gifted individuals differ from their gifted and highly gifted counterparts. These characteristics result in unique needs and can challenge parents, educators, and care providers. Areas of focus will include balancing competing interests, aligning the needs of the individual(s) with the needs of the family unit, and navigating educational and social-emotional terrain. Participants will come away with a deeper understanding of this population of “outliers among outliers.”

    This is a very interesting video for me. My dad would have been considered PG , his Mensa score was 164. He had an amazing life. Martriculated at 11 with a near pertect score could read write and play chess well at 3. My youngest daughter I have never had tested by she is gifted for sure, went to a school for gifted kids , she kept me so busy when she was a kid- non stop learn learn learn. Me myself sat the Mensa test at 17 and scored 121 but i did it in half the time because i had a pool competition to go too

    2:17 There's 'gifted' and then there's 'PROFOUNDLY gifted'
    2:42 If you have 24 students a year, it would take about 70 years (on average) to encounter a PG child
    6:11 PG are less likely to find peers
    7:13 They are astonishing, have special talents, extraordinary sensitivity and intensity
    8:34 PG can be difficult to work with
    8:52 Relentless hunger for knowledge
    10:44 PG need challenge, role models for fun/silliness, peers, and a safe haven to be themselves
    18:56 Some PG are introverts
    19:52 IQ of 145 is 1 in 741 | IQ of 160 is 1 in 31,560
    26:40 Sometimes PG set ridiculous standards for themselves
    37:51 Some PG + Learning Differences are very creative

    The 1965 Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist, Richard P. Feynman's school IQ was a barely respectable 125.

      It is known that profoundly gifted individuals can be considered to have a disability, because their intelligence could work against them
      Which is why people like you and me find ourselves regaling youtube comments with our knowledge

      Actually, I don't know whether I did take an IQ test at my primary school.
      My Mensa IQ results were only just above the first standard deviation above the mean average, 5 years ago.
      So I am clever but nothing great!
      I am pleased that I am not so gifted, it doesn't suit me.
