Renzulli is professor of educational psychology at the University of Connecticut, where he also serves as director of the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented. The simplest and most useful definition of “giftedness” in any area of a child’s development is Joseph Renzulli’s Venn representation, which promotes a broadened conception of it.

Stanley developed the centre as an adjunct to his 1970s-era study of gifted kids called a Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth.īoth the study and the centre included young adolescents who scored in the top 1% on university entrance exams. What does Stefani Germanotta - better known as Lady Gaga - have in common with pioneering mathematicians Terence Tao and Lenhard Ng, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Sergey Brin?ĭespite their different career paths, they all graduated from John Hopkins University’s Centre for Talented Youth, which Hopkins psychologist Julian Stanley developed in the 1980s.
