Gifted for Whom? Individualism, Dyadism, and Collectivism in the Definition of Giftedness
Sternberg, Robert J.; Karami, Sareh
Gifted Education International, v38 n3 p391-396 Sep 2022
Gifts can be individually, dyadically, or collectively chosen and oriented. Society, in its identification of the gifted, has chosen to focus on individual and sometimes dyadic goods. This practice represents a culture of individualism, but it has become solipsistic. We argue that identification instead should focus on those most likely to help to achieve a collective common good--who will bestow on others, gifts that are broadly beneficial especially to those most in need of help.
