The author demonstrates that there exist many human intelligences, common to all cultures - each with its own pattern of development and brain activity, and each different in kind from the others. These potentials include linguistic, musical and logical/mathematical capacities, as well as spatial and bodily intelligences, and the ability to arrive at an emotional and mental sense of self and other people. Rather than reducing an individual's potential to a single score on an IQ test, it is the fostering and education of all these intelligences that should be our concern.

ACT III SCENE I The Study of Tecnicus. Enter Tecnicus, and Orgilus, in his usual Dress. Tec. Be well advised; let not a resolution Of giddy rashness choke the breath of reason. Org. It shall not, most sage master. Tec. I am jealous; For if the borrow'd shape so late put on, Inferred a consequence, we must conclude Some violent design of sudden nature Hath shook that shadow off, to fly upon A new-hatch'd execution. Orgilus, Take heed thou hast not, under our integrity, 10 Shrowded unlawful plots; our mortal eyes Pierce not the secrets of your heart, the gods Are only privy to them. Org. Learned Tecnicus, Such doubts are causeless; and, to clear the truth From misconceit,--the present state commands me. The prince of Argos comes himself in person In quest of great Calantha for his bride, Our kingdom's heir? besides, mine only sister, Euphranea, is disposed to Prophilus: ao Lastly, the king is sending letters for me To Athens, for my quick repair to court; Please to accept these reasons. Tec. Just ones, Orgilus, Not to be contradicted: yet, beware Of an unsure foundation; no fair colours Can fortify a building faintly jointed. I have observed a growth in thy aspect Of dangerous extent, sudden, and--look to't-- I might add, certain-- 30 Org. My aspect! could art Run through mine inmost thoughts, it should not sift An inclination there, more than what suited With justice of mine honour. Tec. I believe it. But know then, Orgilus, what honour is: Honour consists not in a bare opinion By doing any act that feeds content, Brave in appearance, 'cause we think it brave; Such honour comes by accident, not nature 40 Proceeding from the vices of our passion, Which makes our reason drunk: but real honour Is the reward of virtue, and acquired By justice, or by valour which, for basis, Hath justice ...

Personal Transformation

Why are many of the most successful people plagued by feelings of emptiness and alienation? This wise and profound book has provided thousands of readers with an answer-and has helped them to apply it to their own lives.Far too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents' expectations and win their "love." Alice Miller writes, "When I used the word 'gifted' in the title, I had in mind neither children who receive high grades in school nor children talented in a special way. I simply meant all of us who have survived an abusive childhood thanks to an ability to adapt even to unspeakable cruelty by becoming numb... Without this 'gift' offered us by nature, we would not have survived." But merely surviving is not enough. The Drama of the Gifted Child helps us to reclaim our life by discovering our own crucial needs and our own truth.
