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 […]

Giftedness and IQ: Demystifying the Concept of Multiple Intelligences and the Role of Cognitive Measurement
By: Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues, post-PhD in Neuroscience, president of the ISI Society and coordinator of Intertel Brazil The definition of giftedness and the relevance of intelligence quotient (IQ) as a central measure of cognitive abilities have been the subject of scientific and educational debates. While Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences brought […]
Countries Where a Significant Portion of the Population Knows Their IQ
By: Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues, PhD in Neuroscience, President of the ISI Society, and Coordinator of Intertel Brazil The measurement of intelligence quotient (IQ) is a globally relevant topic, particularly in countries where a significant portion of the population has undergone intelligence testing. Nations such as the United States, Israel, South Korea, Singapore, […]
Is it possible to have an IQ above 200? Science says no
We often hear stories of people with IQs of 200, 220, or even 250, but are such scores really possible? According to science and recognized intelligence tests, the answer is no. In this article, we will explain why scores above 160 are already the reliable limit and how extraordinary numbers, such as 200 or more, […]
The Relationship between Giftedness, Emotional Oscillation and Academic Performance: Impacts on Selection for Medical Courses
Recent studies have explored the impact of high cognitive abilities, especially in gifted and profoundly gifted individuals, on academic performance and the emotional dynamics that can directly affect their educational and professional trajectory. It has been observed that individuals with extremely high IQs often exhibit peculiar emotional and behavioral characteristics, such as greater emotional oscillation […]
Giftedness and Sexuality: Between Intellectuality and Sensory Perception
By: Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues Sexuality in gifted people is a fascinating topic and, at the same time, little explored in specific research. However, when we analyze the psychological and emotional characteristics of gifted individuals, it is possible to draw hypotheses about how intelligence, sensitivity, and cognitive processes influence their sexual experience. Overexcitability and […]
Giftedness and the Past: Perfectionism, Neuroscience, and the Choice to Revisit or Move Forward
By: Dr. Fabiano de Abreu Agrela RodriguesThe relationship of the gifted to the past is a fascinating reflection of their cognitive and emotional complexity. While some revisit their memories frequently, others prefer to stay focused on the present and future. This choice, however, is not arbitrary; It’s deeply connected to the kind of perfectionism they exhibit—adaptive or maladaptive—and […]
