- Abstract
Gifted individuals have been shown to have higher developmental potential, making them more likely to exhibit overexcitabilities (OEs) classified as psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, or emotional. The OE profiles between IMSA males and females and between IMSA students interested in STEM and Ohio generally gifted students were examined using the Overexcitabilty Questionnaire-Two (OEQ-II). Data from 70 IMSA sophomores were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Bonferroni correction method. Results showed that IMSA females had significantly higher sensual and emotional OE scores than males. Both IMSA males and females exhibited significantly lower imaginational OE scores and significantly higher intellectual OE scores than the Ohio students. IMSA males also had significantly lower sensual and emotional OE scores than the Ohio males while IMSA females had significantly higher emotional OE scores than the Ohio females. This study contributes evidence that supports previous findings and offers a comparison of OE scores in gifted and STEM populations.
