Hi,
I was just looking at that link too and found it very interesting.
Previously I only understood it from the perspective of high achievers/bright versus gifted. The "creative" side was just part of gifted.
My child is very much like me in many aspects. Both my kid and I have lots of ideas but we can't finish them all. lol My kid has moments of giftedness and moments of creativeness if you go along with the chart.
But I really think my kid is a meld of the 2 columns.
It totally explains why my kid (our kids?) when asked a question doesn't just answer -- even when they know the answer. Teachers love the kids that just answer the question. But my kid is standing there ... thinking and thinking and thinking ... and a good 10 seconds later will only say 1 of the many ideas that had popped up.
I'm trying to convince my kid that in those moments pretend to be a bright kid and just give the answer the teacher is expecting!
haha
