IQ tests use the following classification to determine different levels of giftedness:

• Bright, enlightened: 115 or more, or 1 in 6 (17%)
• “Moderately gifted”: 130 or more, or 1 in 50 (2%)
• “Highly gifted”: 145 or more, or 1 in 1000 (0.1%)
• “Exceptionally gifted”: 160 or more, or 1 in 30 thousand (0.003%)
• “Extraordinarily gifted”: 175 or more, or 1 in 3 million (0.00003%)

Savants are children with savant syndrome who have abilities in a particular field (most often it is arithmetic, music, fine art), but often have problems in others (usually in verbal skills). Often these children have Asperger syndrome .

Savant autistic is a person with autism who has abilities rarely attained by others. Previously, such people were called idiot savants - "idiots". In 1978, Dr. Bernard Rimland coined the term autistic savant — savant autism — which is now used.

In psychology, there is still no general idea of ​​the nature of giftedness; there are only two main options for explaining the nature of giftedness:

• The first option assumes that each person is gifted in his own way. This approach reflects the humanistic trends in science and is the ideological basis of universal education and the right of every child to develop their abilities. This version of the explanation of the cause of giftedness blurs the specifics of the concept of “ giftedness ”. The emphasis is shifting towards the search for the “key” to the child’s abilities and methods of their development. From this point of view, the issue of identifying gifted children becomes illogical. It is noted that gifted children, growing up, do not always retain their abilities. This is primarily due to the contrast of “topics for communication” with their peers. Since even specialists often cannot correctly understand such children.
• The second option involves the giftedness of children as a gift " from above ", which is endowed only with the elect. This option suggests the urgent problem of identifying gifted children, but casts doubt on the possibility of further development of giftedness. In this case, you should treat gifted children as the future intellectual and creative elite, on which the development of all mankind depends. A broad discussion of issues related to the identification and development of gifted children is necessary, with the possibility of building competent forecasts and effective methods of interaction with these children.

Some experts note that in modern culture the place of gifted children and the opportunities that open before them have changed significantly, since the answer to the question “to what extent natural data can make up the“ body ”of creativity has changed:

The nature of the “child prodigy” is the opposite of the nature of modern art . Because, although the basis of creative action is the act of summation, that is, reproduction, only the act of choice, that is, rejection, animates it ^[1] .
