Publisher's Summary

Are you relentlessly curious and creative, always willing to rock the boat in order to get things done...extremely energetic and focused, yet constantly switching gears...intensely sensitive, able to intuit subtly charged situations and decipher others' feeling? If these traits sound familiar, then you may be an Everyday Genius - an ordinary person of unusual vision who breaks the mold and isn't afraid to push progress forward.... 

As thought-provoking as Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence, psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen's The Gifted Adult draws on a wide range of groundbreaking research and her own clinical experience to show America's 20 million gifted adults how to identify and free their extraordinary potential. The Gifted Adult presents the first practical tool for rating your Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient through an in-depth personality-type profile. 

Demystifying what it means to be a gifted adult, this book offers practical guidance for eliminating self-sabotage and underachievement, helping Everyday Geniuses and those who know, love, and work with them to understand and support the exceptional gifts inherent in these unique personality traits.

Missing Necessary Supplementary Materials

This book is fantastic and very thorough. I know I will return to it many times over to revisit the material. The personal stories helped to make the material accessible and relevant. I loved how it explored so many elements of the everyday genius’ experience.

Unfortunately the audio edition does not come with any supplementary materials, including the questions you are supposed to work through in order to understand your personal profile. It would also be good for the tables to be provided as it is challenging to comprehend these through listening only. Attempts to contact the author for this have failed.

While very good, I feel that without the profile questions, it is incomplete and leaves me feeling unsatisfied and unable to apply the learning satisfactorily.

If this will bother you too, consider the ebook or hard copy.
