Mate, Yolanda Benito
Gifted and Talented International, v24 n2 p89-108 Dec 2009
After a short introduction about previous studies on extraordinarily gifted children with an IQ of over 170, this article refers to the descriptive characteristics of ten children with IQ of over 189. After this, the developmental and learning characteristics of these children are described and finally empirical research about aspects that describe the personal, social and scholar adaptation of these highly gifted children is discussed.
