Giftedness is not simply about exceptional abilities, but crucially involves a special kind of approach and attitude, the basis of which lies in a nervous system allowing for unusual modes of perception and ways of reaction that pave the way to outstanding achievements. This is a deviation that is often annoying for the society and may thus give rise to problems of integration. As a consequence, it is generally the “average gifted” that can be identified as gifted – those who have exceptional abilities and differ from the average only to an extent still tolerated by their environment. Regular procedures – whether assessments, teaching methods or socializing effects – are less effective in the case of truly ingenious thinkers, because these procedures are all fitted for the average or near average.
