HUB - Gifted & Talented Adults Support Group HUB is a support group for Gifted & Talented Adults. There is no accepted definition for being Gifted & Talented. Below is some thoughts by our members. No mater what your IQ or ability, if you think you fit the description below, then please come and join us !! HUB is an Egroup list, if you would like to join HUB, please email me. T.Nolan@uts.edu.au A description by some of our members; Are you brash and socially inept? Do you completely miss the obvious and yet are capable of amazing subtlety? Do you like to get into deep discussion in your areas of interest to the point where others think you are grandstanding? Are you overly analytical or just over the top ? Would you like to understand yourself more but are accused of being self-indulgent when you describe your experiences because you go into intricate detail? Have people described you as anal retentive? Have people described you as annoying, childish, or manic? Do you want to be a workaholic, but never have the time because you've got twenty things on the go and none getting finished? Were you bored at school because the teacher was just So Slow! Have you ever felt like a stranger in a strange land, an alien, or simply born into the wrong time in history? Have you ever felt like you have never quite fitted? Yes, yes, and yes? - Well maybe you'll fit here. Maybe you're [dare we say it?!] gifted. All we ask!!; Despite this wondrous array of idiosyncrasies please respect our rights to be first to point it out - i.e. no flaming, no spamming, no trolling, or deliberately sending out provocative emails in order to wind everybody up? We are respectful of others and their opinions, and we would ask you to treat the members of this list with respect. We like to discuss many different topics, but we also like to focus on the problems facing G&T adults. Being a Genius or a Gifted & Talented
person isn't always as easy as people think. Most often
these people never feel that they fit in, they have
broken relationships, and have high rates of depression
and suicide rates. This is not true of all people who fit
into this category, but there are a large number of
people who do. These people often tend to hide, or at
least hide their genius or gifts and talents, in fear of
being jeered, used of mistreated. An often complaint from
Ladies, is that they had to act dumb in life and hide
there abilities, cause no male wants to go date a girl
smarter than them, so they had to act dumb. Our local
Tony Nolan who was labelled hyperactive at school, was
told he would never amount to anything , works in
administration at University of Technology- Sydney, has
had two broken marriages, etc. Has an IQ equal to Albert
Einstein, and leads the world in a few areas of research,
yet hasn't even passed an undergrad degree. Yet he has
developed so many things for our NSW Police Service.
