[QUOTE="Ettina, post: 538478, member: 12668"] I'm gifted and quite difficult. I'm sort of mixed on the question of whether there's a relationship or not, because I have several things rolled into one - I'm autistic, gifted and have PTSD. I do know that while it's unclear if there's any link between intellectual giftedness and difficult behavior, [I]creative[/I] giftedness is definitely linked to difficult behavior. Highly creative people tend to be impulsive, distractible, nonconformist, questioning the rules, not very concerned about authority - there's evidence that creativity is linked to lowered inhibitions. Oh, and teachers consistently tend to dislike creative kids, while overestimating the creativity of their favorite students (who are usually lower than average on creativity). [/QUOTE]
