This digest addresses some of the special career planning needs of gifted and talented students and offers intervention guidelines for the elementary, junior high, senior high, college, and adult levels. Indications that students are having difficulty coping with the multipotentiality of their talents may be evidenced by early difficulty in making choices and decisions and difficulty in choosing an academic major in college. Possible intervention strategies for multipotentiality at different educational levels are offered. Alternatively, children may be early emergers who have extremely focused career interests and require balanced encouragement of their special interests. Indicators of early emergence characteristics as well as possible intervention strategies at each age level are offered. Both multipotentiality and early emergence characteristics require skillful career education and guidance. In addition, special populations such as minority gifted students and gifted girls and women have unique career guidance needs. Includes 12 references. (DB)
