Foreword: Creativity and giftedness

Abstract

The section on the theme creativity and giftedness is in line with the positive psychology movement, which values individuals’ healthy and positive aspects. Two articles focus on the phenomenon of giftedness. The first article, a theoretical paper called “Gifted students with a coexisting disability: the twice exceptional” examines issues related to the condition of double exceptionality. The second, an empirical paper called “Battery for giftedness assessment: item analysis using the item response theory”, presents the results of a study seeking evidence to validate an instrument under development by analyzing its items.
