Hey! Sorry I didn’t see this sooner. Thanks for reaching out!

Firstly, I’m glad you noticed that. It does seem a little weird, the way it’s organized, and can be revised if you want -- but was really based on actual studies. I grew up as an identified gifted individual myself and there were five “primary” categories (some of which you see included) of what criterion can be considered in the admittance process of an exceptional child. This doesn’t mean that some don’t overlap anyway.

Intellectual and academic do seem kind of strange to have differently. The way I see it, however, is that academic giftedness is a soft of exceptionality that thrives in classroom-specific procedures. Of course, you need a level of intellect to do that, but bases itself more around having knowledge and applying it. Intellectual giftedness, the way I would describe it, is an individual’s ability to process information, patterns, and understand cues (both structurally and without structure) on a cognitively-advanced level as opposed to peers their age. Think of natural inclination, intuition, and quite simply, wisdom. Not inherently logic, but that’s the way I would describe it.

Creative and artistic are a little harder, and I see where you’re coming from. Essentially, creative inclinations orient themselves more around the “imagination” or the “unique thought processes” that gifted children tend to possess. Their idiosyncratic behaviours and differences in thinking patterns that set them apart: unique perspectives on things that would be hard to come by. Whereas artistic giftedness is quite simply a penchant for, and advanced ability to, create and express various means through artistic modes (writing, music, art, etc.)

Sorry if I’m ranting. Basically, I didn’t just throw things on there willy-nilly, but also kind of did. If you think it should be changed, that can totally happen!

Second, yeah! We totally could. In fact, it would be a lot more interesting that way. I kind of intended it to eventually go down that way -- but moreso with the intention to span beyond what human intelligence is capable of. Death Note style. /j
