About this test
High intellectual potential (giftedness) is not just a high IQ: it is a particular cognitive and emotional way of functioning. This test explores five commonly described markers: tree-like thinking (fast, branching), emotional intensity, intellectual hunger, sensory over-excitability, and a sense of being out of step. It does not replace a psychometric assessment (such as the WAIS) carried out by a psychologist: it helps you put words on how you function and decide whether a full assessment makes sense for you. Important: this test explores a functioning profile; it does not measure IQ and cannot, on its own, identify high intellectual potential — only a full psychometric assessment by a psychologist can.
