Are You a Gifted Adult?
* I have always had an insatiable curiosity
* I set very high standards for myself and can be my own worst critic
* I have a powerful need to know and am a seeker of ultimate truths
* I have been criticized for being “too much” of just about everything
* I have always felt deeply wounded by injustice and human suffering
* I can see many sides to nearly every issue and love a good debate
* I have a lot of energy and often feel driven by my own creativity
* I am often seen as the “idea person” in a group
* I love puzzles, mazes, paradoxes, complex ideas, and words
* I often feel responsible for problems that don’t actually belong to me
* Many times I have felt “different,” and sometimes I feel like a minority of one
* I am a dyed-in-the-wool perfectionist
* I have been criticized for not “sticking with one thing”
* Honesty, integrity, and authenticity are very important to me
* I have a history of questioning rules and challenging authority
* I seem to be bothered by bright lights, aromas, and noises that others ignore
* I have a well-developed sense of humor that is somewhat offbeat
* I have maintained my childlike sense of playfulness and wonder
Recognize Yourself or Someone You Know?
The vast majority of gifted adults are never identified in childhood and don’t know they are gifted. Even if they know, until now no one has ever explained to them how to manage their intensities and deal with the “real world.” If you see yourself in more than half of these traits you are probably one of the 20 million American gifted adults whose identity and life no longer need to be confused and filled with self-doubt.
Praise for The Gifted Adult
“Sure to attract attention … Statistically, many gifted adults are baby boomers.… Jacobsen’s goal is to help the gifted hone their abilities and cope with the ‘truths’ of being gifted.… She provides useful advice about framing responses to common criticisms … overcoming blocks to development … and achieving balance.”
—Publishers Weekly
The Gifted Adult “offers new insights about the psychological makeup and development of gifted individuals. [Jacobsen] challenges current definitions of giftedness and offers one that places psychological rather than cognitive characteristics at the very core … provid[ing] more detailed … explanations of achievement and underachievement among gifted adults than have ever been available before.”
