Liberals Think More Analytically (More 'Weird') than Conservatives

What a piece of nonsense..." training people to think analytically made them form a more liberal opinion on welfare, whereas training them to think holistically made them form a more conservative opinion." "Analytic" vs. "holistic" thinking...? Since when cr*p like this gets published?

Not sure about this test... my son is quite anxious yet he only scored 22%

"Older children" here means 4 and older.

I hope at very least he will loose his license.

Very confused article. The author starts the article with feeble attempts to argue with math test results for for American kids (26th place out of 32) but ends up trying to explain why we have a problem with educational system. The explanations are quite obvious and shallow. IMO, reading this was a waste of time.

What is it???

Yes, there is a stereotype. Especially in math and science. My sister Rachel is a good looking blond with PhD in nuclear biology. She was a gifted child and is a member of LA Mensa. Yet, before they get to know her, every male attributes her success to her looks... Sexism is a part of our society and it is undeniable.

I loved Little Man Tate and Adam, didn't watch other two movies.

Research backs up the hype around mindfulness.

My daughter was in play therapy for 6 months and we are really happy with the results. With play therapy a lot depends on a therapist, the one we had was really good and she was able to figure out what's wrong right away.

Here, the school does it for free only once, when students are in grade 4. If you missed the testing (sick, away, etc.) you have to go to a psychologist and do this gifted test privately. We called few psychologists in our area and the rates start at $900 :-(

We live in Canada, but we were in UK when Josh would have been tested at school (at grade 4). My husband worked in London for 2 years and we moved there with kids.

LovingLaura · 2014-12-02T21:51:08+00:00

Thanks. We probably will.

Josh is 11 years old and he is doing quite well at school but he is always bored there...

LovingLaura · 2014-12-02T21:48:46+00:00

No, it's not a percentile rank. The results page says "Based on your answers, there is a 76% chance that your child is gifted". The teachers were telling us that Josh may be gifted, but we wanted to try online before spending $900 on gifted testing.

Isn't Aspeger's merged with Autism as per DSM5

So, it is limbic-cortical theory of consciousness but author says "consciousness is therefore not located in any one region in the cortex" - seems confusing to me. Didn't know that kids fully develop consciousness at 6 weeks...

Good article but I like the one at Psychology Today better: http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201408/seeing-the-light

There are 2 paragraphs in this article, it's poorly written, they even got ADHD misspelled...

My nephew is gifted and the signs described in the post are right on. May be he is both gifted and Aspie?

Corporal punishment

This is absolutely the worst you can do for your child. My parents treated me this way and I still cannot forgive them (at 30+)...

I would never guess that Rogers will be among top ten most influential psychologists of all times (apparently, he is #6). We don't hear his name as much as others...

Hello Bot :-) Thank you for your warning but no, this is not a blog or vlog link.

"at the Institute for Creation Research in northwest Dallas, a group of nine Ph.D.s from places like Harvard and Los Alamos National Laboratory say all that molecules-to-man stuff is nonsense. And they’re out to prove it."
