INTRODUCTION
Defining the term gifted is no easy task. Numerous definitions have been suggested, but no single definition of giftedness is accepted by everyone or even by a majority of people. Because so many definitions exist, people often get confused over just what it means to be gifted. Not only that, parents and teachers sometimes find it difficult to communicate because what they say is based on different definitions! To help eliminate the confusion, it's a good idea to understand where the term came from and the different perspectives that led to the many definitions that exist today. The term gifted children was first used in 1869 by Francis Galton.
For many years, the term “ gifted child” usually meant a child with a high Intelligence Quotient. But a few leaders in the field of education for gifted children thought otherwise. They insisted that the term should be applied to any child who perform much better than any others in any field of endeavour highly prized by society.
There are several types/kinds of defining whether a person is gifted or not (will be further discussed in this research).
SIGNIFICANCE
Gifted are also gift of God to us. Yes, they may be different from normal but they also feel what we feel. Gifted, in such ways, are so much inspiration to others. They are able to inspire others even though they do not know. In a positive way, let us accept those people with whole heart. Even if they achieve things better than us, the still need to be motivated. Persons, mostly young, with this kind of characteristic are said to be geniuses. Yes , they are high in IQ but low in EQ.
