Asynchrony: Intuitively Valid and Theoretically Reliable.

Alsop, Glenison

Roeper Review, v25 n3 p118-27 Spr 2003

This article examines a definition of giftedness that emphasizes asynchronous development and analyzes archival data collected on 535 high-IQ children in Australia. It found five patterns of behavior that provide evidence of asynchronous development: anxious; self-critical; overly sensitive; easily upset; and easily frustrated; with depression evident in adolescents.
