AS A CLINICAL psychologist working with gifted people of all ages, I know that most bright people don't like the word "gifted"; probably because it has connotations of high achievement and they simply don't relate to it. I have come to regard the term "gifted" as a clinical label which, like all labels, is associated with a conceptual framework or model that can obscure the individual to whom it is applied.

This four page article by Angela Micallef explores perfectionism in regard to gfited children. Perfectionism can be an asset to one’s development or debilitating to one’s growth. Working out whether children are perfectionists or not, and if so what type, can make an enormous difference in the way these children are perceived and reacted to at home or in the classroom. Silverman believes that being a perfectionist comes with being gifted.

Some gifted children learn most effectively through non-auditory channels. Because these children do not learn effectively in a traditional classroom they often perform well below their mental age. Additionally, because they are gifted, they are intrinsically aware of their own lack of achievement (particularly in respect to other less gifted children). They are "turned off" school and are often disruptive in class or at home showing many of the characteristics of the gifted learning disabled. The frustration, inner conflict, boredom, lack of a suitable peers and fragile self-esteem of such children translates into unruly and unsettling behaviour.
