For music historian Craig Wright<\/strong>, “a genius is a person endowed with extraordinary mental powers whose original works or concepts significantly change society, for better or worse, from one culture to another and over time<\/em>.”[1]<\/a> In his book The Secret Habits of Genius<\/em>, he reveals the 4 habits characteristic of <\/strong>gifted people (HPI)<\/strong><\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Habit 1: Showing relentless obsession<\/h2>\n

For the Yale professor, the most intelligent people have a pronounced obsessive streak<\/strong>, which shows up as intense, sustained effort. There’s no lightning-bolt inspiration; the result is often the product of a long, sustained mental gestation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But this doesn’t mean locking themselves into a single activity<\/strong>. In his view, gifted people “see different things simultaneously, because they’ve had a certain number of experiences and, as a result, they can combine different elements that others couldn’t combine because they seem dissimilar<\/em>.”1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Habit 2: Biting their nails<\/h2>\n

Often seen as a sign of anxiety or stress, nail-biting (or onychophagia) also hides a perfectionist streak<\/strong>. In fact, it’s one of the conditioning factors that contribute to excellence in gifted people. For them, it can be a form of self-stimulation and focus<\/strong>, capable of providing mental relief and creative stimulation.<\/p>\n

Note that this habit can be associated with Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD) or Oppositional Defiant Disorder<\/a> (ODD), but also with other mental health conditions.<\/p>\n

Habit 3: Working alone<\/h2>\n

According to a study by Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, there is a correlation between highly gifted individuals and heightened sensory sensitivity<\/strong>. Overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights and crowds, they tend to choose quiet spaces and prefer working alone. This heightened sensitivity affects their social behaviour.<\/p>\n

Habit 4: Talking to themselves<\/h2>\n

According to a study by the universities of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, talking to oneself reflects more advanced reasoning, memory and perceptual abilities<\/strong>. When we do this, when trying to remember and locate objects, “we activate the visual properties associated with those objects in our brain, which helps us find them more easily.”1<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n

Talking to oneself therefore helps organise one’s thoughts<\/strong> and put a more intelligent answer into words. Not to mention that when this inner dialogue is positive, it also has an effect on self-esteem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In any case, gifted individuals (HPI or HPE) are strongly encouraged to consult a psychologist<\/strong> to help them better come to terms with their difference and turn it into a genuine strength. Fully versed in these issues, the professionals on the Ora-Visio platform<\/a> are available to support you.<\/p>\n
