I'm glad to have finally stumbled across this site, as I was about to go off and build something like this myself. After all, this is the Internet, the Internet is supposed to have everything for every niche! So, hello.
It's amazing how not being made aware of giftedness and what it really is can lead to a distorted view of yourself. Just a few months ago, I would not have been able to write what's below, because all the events in my life seemed utterly disconnected.…

I'm not gifted, BUT... should I stop learning or experimenting, I would die miserably.
I'm 26 (for the stats: Italian, female) and my second Mensa test reported a score of 122 (Wechsler). The first time I tried to enter Mensa (with my fiancé, who's gifted and passed the Mensa test) I scored a measly 106, but that low score gave me the prompt to look more deeply into my potential, particularly the fact that - believing to be a complete idiot in math and sciences in general - I've…

Searching, longing and questioning is in our DNA. Who we are and what we will become is determined by the questions that animate us, and by those we…

Man, I really hate tests. They ask things that weren't even in the book and ask questions in ways that make zero sense. Especially those definitions that state exactly what the word means so you select true and it was false... how does that happen? These tests were created by idiots.
I'm taking intro to business at the moment. They asked a question about Gap's form of competition of casual clothing in the marketplace. I thought about it and there are an endless amount of makers in…

OK, you might have decided you're gifted, your brain is a high-performance sportscar rather than a lumbering SUV, and you'll be more confident shouting out the answers to the television on the next gameshow. But what does it all mean?Since this is…Continue

Hello,I am a 32 year old male. When I was in school I was classified as a GT student. The last IQ test I took I scored 141. My whole life I feel like I have underachieved. When I was in school everything was very easy for me and I developed an…Continue

Hello, I am new to the forum, am not sure what to expect. Maybe by means of an intro it’s good to give a bit of a backgrounder. I’ll skip over details and try to cut to the chase. We have four sons (9, 5, 3, 1). We raise our children bilingually.…Continue

In order to discuss overexcitabilities (OEs), we should first introduce where the term came from. For this first post I will be drawing from a number of different types of sources to provide a mixed view that concisely addresses OEs as an aspect of…Continue
A community for support and fellowship for gifted persons, those close to them and associated professionals.
MyGiftedLife.org is not a high-IQ society or corporate entity. MGL is not a business, nor is it a formal charity. We do not currently operate on any grants or fund-raising. Our mission is to provide a place where people can provide fellowship, encouragement and information to each other when needed.
MGL is for gifted persons and those involved in their lives, including parents, families and friends. Educators, psychologists and other professionals are welcome, as are others who may simply want information about giftedness.
Mygiftedlife is a safe haven. It's a place where anyone who experiences life from a gifted perspective can share their unique selves and weave a common thread going beyond the tapestry of any usual forum to one based upon expanding awareness of experiences, self, others and the world we live in. Mygiftedlife is a place for delving deeper. I've come here and been understood when that seemed impossible. Gifted people and those advocating for gifted children navigate societal structures that present a great challenge. Support can be hard to find, but here it is.
"Hey, all the inane shallow chatter about stupid stuff at other forums got you down? Come here for more in depth and intelligent discussion about things that actually matter."
