About this listen
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.

Helpful.
Where has a book like this been. It was so helpful in recognizing these abilities in myself and especially how to see others who display these characteristics.

Decent.
Carries an air of having been written to make the author feel gifted. She considers measuring IQ to be a trap, and offers an alternative that she thinks is more effective. Of course, I've never found it anywhere else, which means intellectual brainpower is still considered a more useful measure of intelligence than the personality described with gifted personality traits, multiple intelligence talents that Gardner agreed converges on IQ, and quixotic worldly ambitions, or humanistic visionary characteristics. "Evolutionary Intelligence".

Good but..
The book is good but the tests included are nowhere to be found and the spreadsheets and listings are very boring to listen to..

I feel seen and heard by this book
The only thing I didn’t like is that there’s no access to these tests mentioned in the book. You can only get copies from the ebook or the physical copy. Throw us listeners a downloadable PDF!

Mind numbingly repetitive and irrelevant.
I tried and tried to find a single iota of actionable material in this book to no avail. The slight sense of validation gained withing the fist 30 minutes was quickly overwhelmed by the feeling that this book could be the core text for a club that gathers to talk about how special they are, how hard life is for them because of that fact, and occasionally admire quotes that say more in 20 words than they can in 5000.
