“…Although potential can be found in all individuals, potential in itself is not enough to earn a Nobel Prize, or two, for that matter. As represented within the terms, “productive” (effort) and “giftedness” (ability) work together to actualize potential into tangible outcomes; effort helps move ability forward toward talent realization, all of which require key internal and external factors (Paik, , ).…”

“…Individual agency also played a role as illustrated in her quotation. Curie had “focused motivation”; she was passionate, driven, resilient, and determined to realize her personal and professional goals (Paik, , ). Consequently, she used her time constructively, learning and reading about science.…”

“…Taken together, talent development requires a comprehensive and systematic approach (Paik, ; Paik, Marshall‐Harper, Gozali, & Johnson, forthcoming). Many theories offer one‐dimensional perspectives, but research shows a number of key factors work together to produce supportive conditions and opportunities as evidenced in Curie's life (Bloom, ; Csikszentmihalyi, Rathunde, & Whalen, ; Paik, ; Walberg, ; Walberg & Paik, ).…”

“…Many theories offer one‐dimensional perspectives, but research shows a number of key factors work together to produce supportive conditions and opportunities as evidenced in Curie's life (Bloom, ; Csikszentmihalyi, Rathunde, & Whalen, ; Paik, ; Walberg, ; Walberg & Paik, ). By examining the common factors and experiences of notable individuals, findings point to key environmental and psychosocial factors that influence success (Paik, , , ; Paik, Choe, Otto, & Rahman, ). In particular, research has found conducive learning environments matter along with individual motivation and time usage (Bloom, ; Paik, ; Walberg, ).…”

What is “productive giftedness” and why does it matter in talent development? Using the Productive Giftedness Model, the current study examines key environmental and psychosocial factors that influence productive outcomes (e.g., achievements, accomplishments, leadership, eminence). Defined as mastery and excellence, the “productive giftedness” of ten notable artists, athletes, innovators, scientists, and writers was systematically studied. Findings highlight both commonalities and differences across three developmental stages identified in this study: early exposure and support, talent cultivation, and continuous cultivation. The article focuses on home and school learning environments, key relationships, motivation, and time factors. In particular, parents (or caregivers), teachers, and mentors played a key role in their talent development. The model also highlights the role of alterable and contextual factors, which enhance or hinder access to opportunities, support, and resources. The overall findings confirm the greater importance of supportive conditions rather than innate talent alone.
