About The Event
Are gifted students different from their peers in ways that go beyond intelligence? This session will present a look at research on Openness to Experience and Overexcitabilities, their similarities and differences, and trends that help describe some of the sometimes hard-to-capture differences between gifted students and their peers.

We’ll take a look at Conscientiousness, too!
