- 2023 November 3, Angus Holland, “‘I don’t think of it at all as a gift’: Why it’s complicated being a gifted child”, in The Sydney Morning Herald[1], Australia, archived from the original on 8 September 2025:
- For argument’s sake, though, being “gifted” in a general sense can be described as possessing an intellect that processes information faster, learns concepts quicker and retains knowledge more readily than most, allowing it to exponentially explore ever more complex ideas and to make increasingly insightful connections. “They learn rapidly, they have an excellent memory and they reason well. These are the sorts of characteristics I’d note,” says Judy Parker, who has spent much of her career testing for giftedness.
