| ||||||
| Myths about abilities and potentials in children are extremely resistant to refutation. The following are popular ones that rest on false premises and are controversial to say the very least: - potentials for developing exceptional abilities are uncommon - gifted/talented children are a distinctive group - exceptional abilities are only achievable by individuals who are born possessing exceptional talents or inherited gifts - these talents or gifts are apparent at an early age - they can be clearly identified and quantified by batches of psychology tests that purports to measure intellectual or similar performance (in contrast to potentials) and interpretable as absolute characteristics - these psychology tests are inherently reliable - the tests' results are objective and meaningful indicators of real life attributes and achievements - since they possess presumed superior qualities, these children must also have exceptional and specific needs that must be catered for - high intelligence places a child at risk for psychological difficulties. Highly intelligent children are at risk for delinquency during their adolescent years unless the family, school and society can meet their needs. - superior intelligence is above all the determinant indicator/factor of future success/contribution to society - appropriately designed formal education is the most important factor in children's intellectual development - only through the implementing of appropriate education policies can the community's interest be best served |
