Brain Overclocking: The Asymmetrical Architecture of Profound Giftedness
By Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues,PhD in Neuroscience | Genomics Specialist | Scientific Director of CPAH Extreme intelligence has always fascinated humanity. What differentiates an ordinary mind from one capable of revolutionary insights? For years, science has sought answers in additive genetic models, adding positive variants to predict IQ. But these models explain only […]
How can an average genetic predisposition for giftedness reveal someone to be above gifted (3sd)?
In the world of behavioral genetics, we frequently encounter a fascinating paradox: individuals whose general intelligence predisposition tests point to “average” or “medium-high” results, but who, in practice, operate at a level of profound giftedness (above 3 standard deviations). How does biology explain this apparent “miscalculation”? The answer lies not in the brute force of […]
WHEN INTELLIGENCE NEEDS A PILOT: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A HIGH IQ AND KNOWING HOW TO USE IT
by Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues Modern neuroscience reveals a perplexing paradox: there are people with exceptional intellectual capacity who fail to deliver results commensurate with their potential. The enigma lies not in intelligence itself, but in the distinction between two frequently confused brain systems: raw cognitive ability (IQ) and the executive control system that […]

Germany hosts the world’s largest gathering of profoundly gifted individuals — ISI Regent among the attendees
Duisburg, Germany – From May 28 to 31, 2025, the city of Duisburg became the center of the world’s most significant in-person gathering of individuals with profound giftedness. The event, egg999, was organized by the prestigious Triple Nine Society (TNS) and brought together representatives from over 20 countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, the […]
ADHD and Impulsive Response Anticipation: Why Intelligence Doesn’t Reveal Itself Clearly
By: Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues – post-PhD in Neuroscience and specialist in behavioral genomics Initial Neuroscientific PremiseThe misinterpretation of intelligence in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), especially in cases of double exceptionality, results from a methodological and functional flaw in the analysis of cognitive performance: the reading of expressive behavior is […]
Intelligence: A More Complex Concept Than You Think
By Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues, Post-PhD in Neuroscience The recent demonstration by members of high IQ societies, who expressed disappointment in finding among their peers people who did not meet their expectations of intelligence, highlights a recurring distortion: the limited understanding of what intelligence really is. The first point necessary for this analysis […]
GIP reveals divergence between children’s IQ tests: genetics confirms WISC pattern, not SON-R
By GIP – Genetic Intelligence Project Research center identifies that non-verbal tests such as the SON-R overestimate scores in children, while the genetic profile of intelligence aligns with the WISC result. A new report from the GIP – Genetic Intelligence Project, the scientific arm of the Center for Applied Genetic Intelligence, revealed a relevant discovery about […]
Ranking of the Best Supervised and Scientifically Validated IQ Tests
Classification Criteria:✔️ Scientific validity and reliability (correlation with general intelligence “g”)✔️ Comprehensive assessment of cognitive functions (fluid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, memory, processing speed, etc.)✔️ Global acceptance by psychology boards✔️ Updated versions and clinical/educational applicability✔️ Suitability for different populations (neurodivergence, age, language, etc.) 1️⃣ Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV, WAIS-V)✔️ Gold standard for assessing intelligence in […]
