“…One view, that of Terman, would be that the individuals who did not do much of anything were under-achievers. An alternative view—that of this article---is that the children were simply mis-identified because IQ is not a sufficient basis for an identification of an individual as gifted (see also Sternberg et al, 2022b). We could even say that IQ is a reductionist evaluation of a person’s talents, which does not take into consideration other characteristics (such as humanitarian aspects) that would allow us to know more globally the type of person he/she will become.…”

“…The most gifted creators are individuals who excel in recognizing what problems are even worth solving (Getzels, 1979;Getzels & Csikszentmihalyi, 1976;Sternberg, 2022b;Sternberg et al, 2022b;Zuckerman, 1983). From the standpoint of the study of gifted creativity, few of the problems presented in schools, including in classes for the giftedness, are transparently worth solving.…”

Humanitarian giftedness is the deployment of one’s gifts and talents in a way that, at some level, benefits humanity. Humanitarian giftedness involves sharing one’s gifts with others in a way that makes the world a better place. It is not something people are born with—they develop it in the same way other forms of expertise are developed—through a deployment of abilities as developed by deliberate practice and a focus on giving rather than just receiving. Teachers and parents can develop humanitarian giftedness by being role models, by sharing stories of humanitarian giftedness, and by encouraging it in their students. They also must discourage use of gifts for ends that harm humanity. The road to more humanitarian deployment of gifts is not through tests and other assessments, but through the development of humanitarian gifts as a learned form of expertise—as gifts not from genes, but rather from the interaction of the person with the tasks they confront and the environmental contexts in which they live.

“…These skills are needed for ALL citizens, as in global critical problems, every single individual contributes to the world's experiences and optimization of those experiences. As a nation, we have observed the needs of these skills in the past few years that the world has been fighting very critical problems, such as climate change and the global pandemic [2] [3]. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, to optimize the world's experiences, not only our nation has needed informed policy makers and administration, but also every single individual has to be held accountable to make wise and informed decisions.…”
