English to Italian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

We as a culture all too often define giftedness and intelligence in very narrow terms. What is his I.Q.? What are her grades? How well did he do on his SAT’s? Which colleges was she accepted to? We reduce human beings to isolated functions, and loose humanity in the process. Think of the teaching moments that are squandered, the celebrations missed, the number of children that grow up feeling “stupid”, and the parents that can’t see their children’s God-given abilities because of a set of test scores or a cumulative G.P.A. I was as guilty as anyone of this restricted way of thinking about others. As a psychologist, I’d given countless intelligence tests, and conceptualized giftedness in strictly quantifiable terms.
