Energetic Overexcitability in High-IQ People
Briefly

The psychomotor overexcitability (OE) is one of five intensities identified by Kazimierz Dabrowski in gifted individuals, observed in those with an IQ of 130 or above. This OE includes traits like rapid speech, impulsive actions, and high energy. While most gifted individuals possess two to five OEs, not every gifted person experiences psychomotor OE. It differs from ADHD, emphasizing that individuals may exhibit varied characteristics of psychomotor OE without showing all traits clearly, showcasing the complexity of giftedness and the differing expressions of overexcitabilities.
