I.Q. and SAT tests are supposed to measure 10 to 15% of one's ability only. The Dunns proposed a broader understanding of "giftedness", not as a label, but as a measure of accomplishments. If we identify the child's learning styles and be sensitive to the varying needs of different developmental stages, all children can become more gifted. Though this book was written almost 10 years ago, I'm glad that it is still available. It is a simple, very readable and practical book--an excellent introduction to the Dunn's basic ideas. A useful questionnaire is included for identifying the child's learning style.
