A short list of facts about gifted children that seems to relate to the MBTI. My emphasis in curved brackets.
- Gifted students (IQ 151 or above) are 29 percent more likely to have active imaginations than nongifted students (IQ less than 130)
- Gifted girls are 55 percent more likely to have active imaginations than nongifted girls {imagination is a subcategory of the Big Five's Originality that relates to the MBTI's iNtuition (high Originality)}
- Girls of both groups preferred making decisions on the basis of values rather than logic {more likely to be F types, nothing new}
- Gifted boys are 28 percent more likely to prefer making decisions on the basis of values (rather than logic), as compared with nongifted boys {could gifted boys be more likely to be F types?}
- Although more girls than boys prefer organized styles to a more flexible style, gifted students in general do not show a preference for -organization over flexibility {this refers to the Big Five's Consolidation, that relates to the MBTI's J vs P}
- Gifted and nongifted students show no differences on measures of extraversion
