“…Helping them self‐reflect, teach others about themselves, discuss concerns related to giftedness, find common ground, and develop expressive language to convey emotions might help these students feel greater ease socially and within themselves. Challenges related to finding career direction can also be discussed, including the concept of multipotentiality—having multiple high‐level capabilities and many realistic career trajectories as options (Sajjadi, Rejskind, & Shore, ).…”

Giftedness can be both an asset and a burden when gifted students respond to developmental challenges. Characteristics associated with high intellectual ability likely affect how gifted students experience social, emotional, and career development, regardless of level of academic achievement. Counselors' lack of awareness of such qualitative differences, as well as positive and negative biases, may interfere with the therapeutic relationship. Characteristics related to giftedness, vulnerabilities, concerns, and counseling strategies are the focus of this article.

“…The model lends itself well to those engaging in research to track multipotentiality (Sajjadi, Rejskind, & Shore, 2001) and decision-making problems. Tiedeman's (1961) model is one of the few career development theories that provides a conceptual framework for understanding multipotentiality issues in the career development of gifted students, multiskilled individuals, and clients with broad interests.…”

This article explores implications of Tiedeman's original theory for career counselors. Some components of the theory seem to be compatible with existing volatile job market conditions. Notions of career path recycling, development in reverse, nonlinear progress, and parallel streams in career development are explored. Suggestions are made for counseling interventions and future research using this perspective.

“…Some scholars assert that creative potentials manifest in multiple areas (Greene, ; Sajjadi, Rejskind & Shore, ), and some special individuals, such as Albert Schweizer, are in fact creative in multiple areas. Kaufman, Beghetto, Baer and Ivcevic (), discussing creativity polymathy, assert the importance of acknowledging multi‐creative potentiality, especially in kindergarteners.…”

The relationship between adolescent extra‐curricular activities and choice of graduate‐education field was examined among students from three fields of study, science (n = 12), art (n = 12), and education (n = 14), using qualitative and quantitative methods. Results of profile analysis indicated that the different majors participated in stereotypically varying activities when they were adolescents. Science majors generally participated in mathematics and science activities during adolescence. Art majors generally participated in theater and music activities, and education majors tended to have participated in social leadership and educational activities. Interviews with the participants supported these findings and provided a more comprehensive discussion of these tendencies. While in high school, the participants had many influences when determining a field of study. Using personal happiness as a guide, the participants chose activities and ultimately graduate‐level majors that reflected their interests. It was concluded that adolescent extra‐curricular activities are important in the development of interest in creatively talented individuals and may lead to graduate field selection.
