Are you relentlessly curious and creative, always willing to rock the
boat in order to get things done . . . extremely energetic and focused,
yet constantly switching gears . . . intensely sensitive, able to intuit
subtly charged situations and decipher others' feeling? If these traits
sound familiar, then you may be an Everyday Genius--an ordinary person
of unusual vision who breaks the mold and isn't afraid to push progress
forward. . . .
As thought-provoking as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence,
psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen's Gifted Adults draws on a wide range
of groundbreaking research and her own clinical experience to show
America's twenty million gifted adults how to identify and free their
extraordinary potential. Gifted Adults presents the first practical tool
for rating your Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient through an in-depth
personality-type profile. Demystifying what it means to be a gifted
adult, this book offers practical guidance for eliminating self-sabotage
and underachievement, helping Everyday Geniuses and those who know,
love, and work with them to understand and support the exceptional gifts
inherent in these unique personality traits.
