About this ebook
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.

Un libro extremadamente largo que da mil vueltas sobra las mismas ideas una y otra vez, es un verdadero suplicio leerlo. Sigue la típica estructura de un libro de marketing yankee que destina demasiado tiempo a venderte algún sistema. En este caso la autora brinda un test interminable que es una amalgama de otros test y teorías sobre inteligencia que por separado tienen algún reconocimiento científico, pero todos juntos no lo tienen. Este test no es más que un listado de afirmaciones vagas dejadas a la libre interpretación del lector que no podrá hacerlas eco en su día a día. Por ejemplo "pienso en múltiples niveles al mismo tiempo". Ok... ¿Cómo se ve en el día a día pensar en múltiples cosas al mismo tiempo? El. Propio libro parte de la base de que la inmensa mayoría de superdotados son muy poco conscientes de sus particularidades, con lo cual estas ambigüedad son un sinsentido.

The author is very intelligent and reveals much about the human condition for gifted people. Writing skills could have been improved by making the 500 pages into 225 pages.
