here are the 6 different profiles of people with high potential, according to American experts

It is considered that approximately 2.3% of the population is gifted, that is to say they have an intelligence quotient above normal (130). In this case we are talking about High Intellectual Potential (HPI). This phenomenon inspired Stéphane Carrié, Alice Chegaray-Breugnot and Nicolas Jean, who decided to make a series of it, the fourth of which season 4 can be discovered soon on TF1: HPI. The heroine of this one is none other than the actress Audrey Fleurotwho promoted it on television and in the press throughout the week on the occasion of the broadcast of the first episode on May 16.

We deal with the phenomenon with a lot of humor. Audrey Fleurot’s character – Morgane Alvaro – is as famous for her legal prowess, in the context of the investigations she leads alongside the Lille DIPJ, as for her very colorful looks and her tirades full of good feelings. In other words, in HPI we play on contrasts to remind us that clothes do not make the monk. Which amounts to asking the subsidiary question: Is there a typical profile to recognize a person with higher than average intellectual potential?

HPI or the relationship with the entourage

As a reminder, the average IQ is estimated between 85 and 114. Above 115 and up to 144, the person is considered to be “gifted”, and even very gifted when it is even higher. Two American researchers have cross-referenced the experience of several people called HPI to understand what their commonalities and differences were. This is how they established six distinct profiles allowing them to be recognized. While it is important to remember that these rankings are purely statistical, it should also be emphasized that there is no question of attaching labels to a person based on their life choices or their intelligence quotient. .. This is what emotherapist Véronique Duhart wishes to emphasize in her report.

For their part, Georges Betts and Maureen Neihart took the case of children and adolescents to define these profiles, including that of The Excellent, the one who is perceived as the good student and who even demonstrates the disposition to get ahead of his classmates. Generally, these children are ahead of their age and already know how to read very well upon entering preparatory class. We will oppose it to Dropout who has very low self-esteem. He often feels rejected by others and may therefore tend to withdraw into himself.

Profiles that largely oppose each other

As to Creative, it is more difficult for him to integrate and fit into the mold, as they say colloquially. He would tend to play the role of disruptor and generate disorder in class. He would have to find a path parallel to the school curriculum so that he could express the extent of his ambitions. This is not the case for Clandestine who on the contrary prefers to hide their abilities, even if it means feeling frustrated. He is in fact capable of adapting to different situations due to his great sensitivity. THE Lowered is one of the six profiles elucidated by the duo of American scientists. For his part, he is focused on his weaknesses, which prevents him from finding his qualities; contrary to what they say Autonomousready to accept his failures and fully aware of his abilities.

Either way, these characters and different personality traits could fade into adulthood. Once they are older, so-called HPI people may show greater signs of openness and creativity.
