摘要：Literature on the personality traits of individuals considered gifted is equivocal, influenced by variation in definitions of both constructs and a focus on individuals that fails to take account of contextual variables in exceptional achievement. Potential character istics of a "gifted personality" may be intense love of learning and powerful intuitions about the fields of endeavour to which gifted individuals are drawn. These character istics must, however, be studied in a systemic way, taking into account collaborative aspects of innovation and giftedness. A research agenda is suggested, informed by questions that involve rethinking the individualistic approach to studying personality and giftedness, considering the nature of contexts that facilitate noticing an d supporting giftedness, and studying the develo pmental course of a gifted personality. The questions we ask and the methods we use should also be informed by current thinking about collaborative work that leads to outstanding accomplishments
