Concept:Gifted students possess high intellectual ability and creative thinking, which is known in psychology as divergent thinking.
Explanation:A gifted child consistently shows remarkable performance in cognitive or physical areas and has superior general intelligence.
Key characteristics include easy retention of facts, high curiosity, alertness, fast information processing, and advanced logical and creative thinking.
Creative thinking is labeled as divergent thinking, which involves generating multiple original ideas and moving in different directions.
Convergent thinking, on the other hand, leads to a single correct answer and does not involve originality.
Thus, gifted students are divergent thinkers, not convergent thinkers, extroverts, or merely hard working.
Hint
Extroversion: Extroversion is a personality type of an individual who is energized by the company of others in comparison to an introvert who prefers to be by themselves most of the time. It is not necessary that an individual exhibiting convergent thinking is an extroverted person.
Answer:Gifted students are divergent thinkers (Option B).
