But here goes anyway...<br /><br />I have heard that OEs are oft found in gifted populations, but I'd not heard the claim that they're mainly in developed countries. This finding is not surprising to me, however, and that's not because I believe in the myth raymond tan refers to (that those in undeveloped countries are "dumb savages"). Isn't it more likely that the only places where scientists, psychologists, and researchers (who often fulfill more than one role at a time) are only able to conduct their studies in developed countries? That developed nations are the only ones with structures intact where it's feasible to do a project on Dabrowski's overexcitabilities? <br /><br />My well-educated guess is that OEs are widespread across cultures, nations, and socioeconomic levels. This doesn't refute the finding that gifted people tend to rank higher on the OE scale. What it may do is encourage us to look at undeveloped countries and realize that, in study after study, observation after observation, there has been no finding that human beings in developed countries are any more gifted than those in undeveloped countries. Following this logic, we can perhaps see that OEs are perhaps just as prevalent in these regions; it's just that they are unchartered waters, so to speak--as yet, not enough reliable research has been gathered to support hopeseekr of xmule's statement as fact.<br /><br />Thanks for reading, and for getting me to really think about these issues!themigrainegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727504452739993888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120165.post-48032280785799506392006-12-02T23:36:00.000-05:002006-12-02T23:36:00.000-05:00This is a comment on the first comment.

It is almost certainly hereditary, and siblings of gifted OEs may not be gifted or may have only a mishmash of symptoms.<BR/><BR/>Clearly genetic, heightened sensitives with higher highs and lower lows, coupled with an intense intellect marks the singular clearest example of the concurrent evolution of the human species.<BR/><BR/>We are ostraciszed by our age peers in a literal manifestation of natural selection. We need/crave human contact, physical and spiritual intimacy that others literally find repuslive, and because there is such a lack of knowledge of our existence as a unique subspecies that those of us who happen to be antipathetic and have no moral code (due to absolutely abysmal parenting) turn out to be serial killers.<BR/><BR/>Thus, we are a group that has a lot of selection pressure on ethical, intelligent, sensual, and empathetic humans in close, loving relationships. A novel mix and a near-utopian one to be sure.<BR/><BR/>That said, of my relatively very few lovers, a full 100% of those who have not utterly used me for money have been OEs; my last one says she matches a good 40 out of the 46 defined characteristics.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps you. Now I just need an OE dating service, as we are very rare.HopeSeekr of xMulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181000583310435221noreply@blogger.com
