High Giftedness Wiki Launch (Dutch)

We would like to announce the launch of a wiki on the topic of high giftedness (IQ ≥ 145) for all ages. We believe it is implorable to garner attention for this subgroup of gifted individuals. For now this wiki is in Dutch only, though at a later stage we aim to release it for more languages. If you have trouble reading Dutch, we suggest using the translate option in your browser.

The wiki can be found in the side menu of our website or at this link: https://highgiftedness.org/wiki. There is a team of editors that reviews every contribution and makes sure the wiki’s contents is as reliable and relevant as possible. You can find the editors at the Team page.

A wiki is a dynamic knowledge repository which relies on contributions from various authors. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know via the form at the contact page.

Trouw opinion piece

Recently in the Dutch newspaper Trouw a news article appeared in which the Dutch Secretary of State of Foundational Education and Emancipation lamented on the “lawlessness” of home schooling in the Netherlands (Trouw, 8-4-2025). Several members of our research group wrote an opinion piece (Trouw, 24-4-2025) responding to the first article, giving context on the homeschooling situation in the context of highly gifted children. For those children homeschooling is often the only option left.
