Monograph: Sensivity, intensity and potential for development of exceptionally gifted

Summary/Abstract: According to Kazimierz Dąbrowski’s theory of positive disintegration, ability is related to the inborn developmental potential of an individual. Strong developmental potential includes extraordinary intelligence, specific abilities and five forms of overexcitability (OE): sensual, psychomotor, imaginational, intellectual and emotional. Overexcitability, intensity and emotionality of reactions and experiences which are typical for highly gifted individuals are considered by researchers as good indicators of abilities. Studies of gifted individuals conducted by means of OEQ and OEQ-II have shown differentiated profiles of overexcitabilities with one dominant specific form of OE, depending on the type of ability. Moreover, the results of studies between sexes have indicated the dominance of sensual and emotional OEs among females, and psychomotor and intellectual OEs among males.
