Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "giftedness" encompasses intellect (superior IQ) as well as other abilities such as academic aptitude and creativity. "Genius" may refer solely to high intellect, while "precocious" may refer to a child who achieves milestones earlier than expected, but not necessarily with superior intellect. "Savant performance" refers specifically to exceptional abilities in a narrow range of skills, often linked to autism or other developmental disorders, which may or may not include high IQ.
