Much of what is generally known and applied regarding gftedness and high intelligence focuses on academic achievement. I therefore especially like that Annemarie Roeper and Jim Delisle advocate for the socio-emotional needs of the gifted. Because of what I learned from them I drew the conclusion that high intelligence is equated with deep thinking, feeling and caring. However, I have since found that only a small percentage of people with IQ's of 130 and above display such characteristics
.
Has research ever been done to determine how common high sensitivity (Dabrowski's over-excitabilities) is in gifted individuals?
