I just read Anne-Marie Roeper's essay on the SAI model (Self-Actualization, Independence) model in High IQ Kids. It's an approach that examines the whole child, focusing on their emotional sides in addition to their cognitive characteristics. Roeper views giftedness as an emotional phenomenon, rather than a cognitive on, if I read her right.

I'm curious if anyone on the board has adopted this model and knows of human or research resources built on this foundation.

Thanks!
