Profile
Hyper-giftedness is rare: only one in a thousand people has an IQ above 145. Because this group has different characteristics and needs than the ‘normal’ gifted group, Talentissimo was created. The goal is to connect gifted children and adults through activities, knowledge and coaching so that they can ultimately create a meaningful and happy life for themselves.
What exactly is the difference between giftedness and hyper-giftedness? It is a question that is often asked to Talentissimo, also by HBO experts. As far as we are concerned, it is more than just an IQ above 145. The differences between hyper-gifted children are large. In all areas: learning, outlook on life, interests. One basic principle is important: there is no such thing as the hyper-gifted person. Intensity, complexity and speed is what binds them, but this can take all kinds of manifestations.
