description Professor Françoys Gagné's convictions are interesting and useful indeed, in a field characterized by long-term confusion. Within his powerful framework, I suggest that he incorporate modifications: (a) putting aside the terms gifted and talented as well as their accumulated, unwanted connotations, (b) creating a hierarchical or at least categorical list of abilities rather than a laundry list, (c) acknowledging that NAT and SYSDEV talents constitute a developmental trajectory and that their assessments are less different than they seem, and (d) downplaying the dichotomous conceptualization of nature and nurture. I challenge my colleagues to give Professor Gagné's terminology a try.
