In the late 20th century, the term asynchrony was used to describe the developmental characteristics of gifted children that is, their mental, physical, emotional, and social abilities may all develop at different paces. Variability of development is another characteristic observed in gifted children. In another early 20th-century study, which focused on children with IQs greater than 180, psychologist Leta Hollingworth found that individuals within this group were very sensitive to the ways in which they differed from others and often suffered from problems such as boredom and rejection by their peers. Following the study participants as they aged, Terman observed a greater drive to achieve, along with greater mental and social adjustment, among the gifted group as compared with nongifted children. Terman, who in 1921 initiated a study of more than 1,500 gifted children with IQs higher than 140. Evidence of this was found by the American psychologist Lewis M. It is generally agreed that gifted children differ from their peers in ways other than intellectual ability alone. Tests vary widely in their validity and reliability for different ages and cultures therefore, fair identification procedures always take into account a wide variety of behaviours that may be signs of giftedness. Although standard IQ tests are the most commonly used means of identifying gifted children, other tests of both intelligence and creativity are also used. In countries that make special provision for educating gifted pupils, the prevailing method of selection consists of written tests. Increasingly, however, schools use multiple measures of giftedness and assess a wide variety of talents, including verbal, mathematical, spatial-visual, musical, and interpersonal abilities. In most countries the prevailing definition is an intelligence quotient ( IQ) of 130 or above. The designation of giftedness is largely a matter of administrative convenience. Gifted child, any child who is naturally endowed with a high degree of general mental ability or extraordinary ability in a specific sphere of activity or knowledge.
