Video Summary:
Why does being gifted come with a cost? Dr. K breaks down the link between high IQ and anxiety—the better your brain gets at predicting future problems, the more problems you start to see in front of you, increasing your anxiety because you can only solve so many of them. That gap is why gifted kids ruminate, develop shortcut habits instead of discipline, and why income actually drops off at the highest IQ levels. Dr. K also covers why ADHD and autism spectrum traits show up alongside giftedness, and how emotional intelligence can outperform raw IQ at work.
