A Study of 241 Profoundly Gifted Children*

                             Dr. Karen Rogers
              Associate Professor of Gifted Studies
       University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota

Dr. Karen Rogers, a researcher of international renown, analyzed data at the Gifted Development Center in 1994-1995 during a postdoctoral fellowship.  

The analysis consisted of data on 241 children between 2½ and 12½ years of age, with IQs ranging from160 to 237+ on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M). Here are some of the findings from that study:

Reasons for Assessment

The main reason parents requested testing (82%) was to obtain help with educational placement decisions.

Gender Differences:
There was no difference in the mean IQ for boys and girls.

Birthing Issues:
Mothers tended to be older than the norm. The mean age at the time of the child’s birth was 30.8.
44% of the mothers report problems with delivery.


Sleep Patterns:
50% of the parents report that their child needed less sleep than others.
60% are "day people" (more boys than girls), 17.5% are night people (more  girls than boys) and 22.5% of the parents wrote in "both" in answer to the  question!
(faith問﹕有冇人可以解釋以上這段的意思呀？？)


Development in Infancy and Toddlerhood
94% were very alert as infants.
94% had a long attention span as an infant or toddler.
91% showed early language development.
60% showed early motor skill development.
48.9% were ambidextrous at some period of their development.
37% had imaginary playmates.


Language Development

The mean age at which these children spoke their first word was 9 months.

The mean age at which the children sight read an easy reader was before 4.

Medical Issues
85% of the children had had ear infections.
52% have high pain tolerance.
44% have allergies and 9.6% have asthma.
The most significant allergy mentioned was to milk (35% of the allergic children).

The next highest allergy mentioned was trees (8.2%).

Most Prevalent Characteristics of Giftedness
99.4% learn rapidly
99.4% have extensive vocabulary
99.3% have excellent memory
99.3% reason well
97.9% are curious
96.1% are mature for their age at times
95.9% have an excellent sense of humor
93.8% have a keen sense of observation
93.5% have compassion for others
93.4% have a vivid imagination
93.4% have a long attention span

88.4% have a high energy level
88.3% are perfectionistic
85.9% are perseverant in their areas of interest
84.1% question authority
80.3% are avid readers

Descriptions
90% were described by their parents as "sensitive."
83% like to concentrate on one activity at a time.
79% report high energy or activity levels.
44% are sensitive to clothing tags and other tactile   sensations.


Self-Concept

In tests of self-concept, these children are significantly more confident in their academic abilities than in their social acceptance.

Educational Needs
The greatest educational need expressed was for a more challenging curriculum.


How significant are these data? We won't know until we've been able to enter random samples from the moderate, mildly and nongifted children's files. (Research efforts)

你地生bb時係幾多歲呀？如果想要個160以上iq(太可怕了﹗﹗)的bb，以後生bb時記得要在30歲左右生呀...
hoohohohohohooooo

Hi,faith,

really learn more from you .thanks.
The meaning of this "Sleep Patterns:
50% of the parents report that their child needed less sleep than others.
60% are "day people" (more boys than girls), 17.5% are night people (more girls than boys) and 22.5% of the parents wrote in "both" in answer to the question!",講的是日睡型和夜睡型.即有人白天興奮,晚上疲倦.但也有人會晚上精神啦

faith

DEAR fiona02,
       謝謝你呀 (錫哂你)，不過仲係有少少唔明，夜睡型係唔係指白天和夜晚都精神，定係白天嗜睡，夜晚精神，咁夜晚係唔係睡幾個鐘個種呢？算了....好似好複雜咁...但anyway，還是很謝謝你﹗
       我知道的東西是皮毛，是識少少扮代表.....你去yahoo個英文giftedgroup就知道，那兒有一大堆"專家"在............個個家長都係專家黎咁........
我只是好想在中文網站搵人一起傾下一起討論下研究下罷了﹗﹗但我知一定有很多懂得很多的家長，只是他們比較安靜而已，我...很多口吧？

我在２９歲生大女，３１歲生細仔，ｔｉｍｉｎｇ似乎很
ｐｅｒｆｅｃｔ．可惜我的孩子不見得ｉｑ很高．怎樣才叫ｉｑ好高呢? 其實咁多q, 我都未搞清楚.

我成日覺得每個孩子都是資優,實有一樣野是他們的才處. 視乎有無人留意到而已.

fiona02

Hi,faith
you are so cute and ebullience.
About  day people and  night people,Only better  than day or night.not in  evidence.
So,天生我才必有用.  Show  more patience toward the kids.

....再讚我...wings230會妒忌架，我的翼仔又會再飛起來的.....
不過，"ebullience"這個字對於英文麻麻的我，立刻走去查字典，看看係讚我d乜野先...
點知是解充溢奔放....中文麻麻的我又唔係十分明，於是再找ebullience的英文解釋 ---係(exuberance)...係解"活力充沛"......
嘩，完全和我係兩個人黎架...我幾乎三步不出閨門，我是很傳統的三從四德女子來的，在家相夫教子，"死蛇爛鱔(唔記得點寫)"，終日游手好閒，用鑊鏟都剷唔起我...........
叫我去邊都唔想去.....

不過，我的腦電波可一天24小時都波動萬分..........活力充沛架.......但其實咁樣好快就會 "du" -------------------------------------------------- 瓜左﹗

WINGS230,
      你真係有所不知，可愛LI 加野(咁寫好似有點粗魯)，唔係話揚就能揚的，係自然發放出黎，人家都唔想架....你....真係唔妒忌得咁多架喇...

faith & wings230:

睇見你地既互動, 旁人都為之咬牙切齒......有無理我地感受?

我一直都想請教你地點攪(資優兒), 但真係入唔到位.....講笑咋, 係的唔起心肝至真!

難得有高人教路, 又唔駛我逐本書去lon, 唔利用你地呢d資源可真暴殄天物.....

我個仔小一時因在班上的出位行為(其中真係包括常常出位), 被轉介去教署(巴富街)評估, (係用韋氏)officer話佢verbal部份iq係140, non-verbal係98, 佢話咁大差別好少見, 再進一步評估先知原來佢係讀寫障礙, 以下落黎便是長期抗戰的開始了.......今年我幫佢搵左一間好適合佢既學校, 學校好support到佢, 亦在一間機構上緊training, 都成年多兩年了, 我暫且功成身退, 小休了一段時間, 不過知道其實仲有好多野可以做, 係自己真的放鬆下來.......見到好似faith咁積極, 又復燃起我的小小心火添!

你地可否brief一下你們小朋友的情況? (最好唔好叫我搵番舊底d料啦! ) 多多包涵!

wings230

Hellomummy....

Sorry.....不理會別人感受....是我致命的弱點...我改~~
親職邊道有專家架?....有時我的靈丹可能變成你的毒藥...
大家交流下....吹吹水 lah...
我比較著重佢非智力方面的發展..佢細細個我就同佢講...
點解上天要造D聰明人出離.....因為佢地既責任係去幫助
D冇咁聰明既人...佢地好容易睇唔起人...包括自己的父母...
所以一定要幼成庭訓...對人要好...要包容...

*...另post.....i wanna up-grade

wings230

Hellomummy....

你的小朋友才十歲已立志做一個生物學家...十分健康
的選擇啊!....我記得他八九歲時接受電台的訪問..問他
有甚麼期望....他說他希望做大雄....因為有叮噹為他完
成所有家課作業...哈哈~~

faith

wings230:
       眨下眼.....眨下眼，才一天，你果然厲害，竟然跳左二十﹗﹗﹗瑪瑙級好似要二千幾....真可怕﹗﹗﹗一定要不停
                     ....
至得喇﹗
你講得沒有錯，得到你指點，我昨晚已好好反省過，我實在太"揚"了，實在不要太多咀....很容易招致話柄....
其實...我都係心底裡有太多鬱結，想找個地方讓自己以另類方式發洩出來.....亂咁嗡一餐真的可以減壓的，至少可以暫且忘卻很多，輕輕鬆鬆不是很好嗎？反正說一堆負面的話也沒有用﹗對不？

嘩，你阿仔怎會接受電台訪問的？究竟...你....地...係....乜...野....人....？？

faith

dear hellomummy.
       不是很秘密的東西，我們就來這兒"玩"吧﹗
真的不知道pm可容納幾多封........。不如開個topic一起發up瘋，咁咪唔駛害怕別人難受囉

我....其實一點都不積極，你寫 "好似" 真係無錯喇﹗

you said, " 最好唔好叫我搵番舊底d料啦﹗"
你好聰明呀﹗我就係想話﹕你把整個討論區的資料看一遍吧﹗看埋特殊討論區，看埋yahoo giftedgroup........咁就完全清楚唒..............
快d去"發up瘋俱樂部" 和我一起談談我們的小朋友啦﹗

Hi,Faith,
   Ebullience means,對一件事充滿追求完美答案的熱情。   

faith

fiona02,
      下？         
原來....係....咁....ge....意....思？真羞家.....   

如果你所說追求完美答案的熱情.....果....真....係咁，不過是對於我有興趣想知的事，所以看親中醫都激死d中醫，因為我不停問佢地問題，免不了挨罵....固執的中醫，固執的我，但...我覺得知道詳細一點病情沒有做錯....後面又無人等緊要睇......

還有我老公，結婚後也不停問佢以前做過的"好"事，我唔單只追求完美答案，仲要追求真實的答案........
sorry!我知我也要改下先得....
