People who answer Yes to 18 or more questions are likely to be gifted.
Gifted people are by definition, also creative and highly sensitive. We have found that many gifted adults have never thought of the possibility that they are gifted.  They have  thought of themselves in terms of their sensitivities, their vulnerabilities that can sometimes camouflage or hinder their abilities and gifts. The Academy of Creative Living is here to help Creative, Highly Sensitive and Gifted people balance their sensitivities, vulnerabilities and idiosyncracies so they can  become fully alive and fulfill their dreams.  Click here to learn more.
