Finding the Next Einstein

Thanks for another stimulating article. (And for your kind mention of my book.) In addition to high intelligence, Jobs had other personality traits indicative of giftedness, such as exceptional intensity and focus, which helped him get even more out of his studies in arts disciplines such as calligraphy.

The idea of intensity refers to unusually high levels of intellectual, emotional, physical and other capacities that Polish clinician and theorist Kazimierz Dabrowski detailed in his theory of personality development, and termed Overexcitability.
