=== Welcome to professional readers ===
A warm welcome to this Wiki, which offers knowledge and information about high giftedness. Here you can read what we mean by “[[What is High giftedness|high giftedness]].”

This project arose out of deep concern. A number of people who are themselves (certainly or likely) highly gifted—some of whom also have highly gifted children—were increasingly coming across reports about highly gifted children who were staying home from school, children who had (quite often) been rejected by various schools. These reports appeared on LinkedIn and/or in (regional) newspapers. They touched us personally, and some of us also had a professional interest in the matter. Knowledge and information about high giftedness are scattered, and reliable information is scarce. Thus, in late 2024, the initiative was launched to compile knowledge and information about high giftedness and make it available to others.

Among professionals working in the field of giftedness, there is no consensus on whether separate subgroups within the gifted population should be recognized. This discussion does not exist among the highly gifted themselves. They consider this distinction to be of great importance—not because it involves a number (IQ score), but because it relates to self-image and identity.

The limited and fragmented knowledge is challenging for (presumably) gifted individuals, as well as for the parents of these children and for professionals who work with gifted individuals of all ages.

We have gathered as much knowledge as possible and are now making it available through this Wiki. One limitation is that some of the academic articles are behind a paywall. We can only provide summaries of those articles. In addition to the available literature, we have also asked people to write articles specifically for this Wiki. These articles may be shared with proper attribution.

We also received questions from individuals with high giftedness about how to find suitable support professionals. This has proven difficult, as professionals working for gifted individuals do not always recognize high giftedness. Some individuals from our network of highly gifted people are already listed in our directory of professional support providers. If you are a professional with knowledge and experience regarding high giftedness and would like to be added to that list, please sign up here: support provider registration [link will follow]

It is important to us that there is a dynamic exchange of ideas and that more people contribute to this effort. To ensure quality, we have an editorial team. The editors of this Wiki warmly invite readers to provide feedback.
