Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Recommended Resources Chart: high achiever/gifted learner/creative

Interesting chart. Ds8 doesn't really fit any one of these categories but I guess he'd fall into creative thinker more than any other...

Interesting!

I think I have one DD clearly in the gifted learner and one clearly in the Creative Thinker categories. it seems show why these two children can be a very "dangerous duo"!

DS6 falls somewhere between gifted learner and creative thinker. No wonder he gives me soo many headaches!

Very interesting!

So if my DS11 leans more toward creative than gifted, does that mean he's both? but the creative is the stronger pull? Interesting too that a lot of the "creative" characteristics can look like ADHD without the H factor.

And since he has output/production problems at school, is he a creative learner who can't create?

That's a very, very interesting chart. Thanks Chris1234.

I expect that people can fall into two categories (eg creative plus one of the others), though I suppose there can be overlap between all of them.

It is really interesting, it falls out differently when I think of different subjects for ds...but generally creative the more I think about it. He's the straight-A, day-dreamer sort, for now anyway...
