Aura, if you got 100% it isn’t much of a surprise that you may be feeling lonely. It means that there aren’t many other people in the world like you. There is some great conversation going on here in the forum, and also on Facebook among people who have felt just like you are now. Try joining in the forum or go to http://www.facebook.com/groups/IntellectuallyGifted/. The closed group there is called “On the Edge: Gifted Adults Redefining Possible”. A few positive connections may help get you back up on your feet.

How about some sort of definition or at least general consesnus on what you mean by “gifted”? I already know what my IQ is, is “giftedness” more a personality or attitudinal attribute acording to your group?

Giftedness does relate to IQ of course, and IQ is usually used as the initial determinant of giftedness. There are other characteristics that fall into the social and emotional realm that are included as well though.

I hate to say it but “IQ” is not a realistic measurement of intelligence. IQ tests tend to be bias on social and cultural terms. Giftedness however, is more about how you think and not necessarily about what you know. It’s more about “seeing the unseen” and having a complex understanding of things that “normal” people do not. When coming to the realization of certain things in society, gifted individuals tend to feel alone and misunderstood, which are some of the most common emotional traits of giftedness…..
