Talent Experts
Modern society depends on experts, or people with unique abilities or specialized skills and experience in certain areas. The Field of Gift and talent Screening presents an area in which “everyone claims to be an expert”. This is the same case in education where everyone knows everything. For instance, parents and child advocates have continued to use their naked eyes to know children’s talents or careers. Through basic observations, quick conclusions are made:
“The way he runs, I think he will be a great athlete…It will be worth taking him to the a football academy or similar”
“Wow wow…the way that young lady made the speech, she can easily become our president”
“He score all straight “A”s in national examinations, he will easily join university for medicine or engineering… His parents must be lucky”.
These are the sad situations in the field of Gift and Talent Screening, Validation and Development. Everyone believes they know peoples’ talents by mere observations.
It is for this reason that the World Talent Federation insists on Scientific and Professional inclination towards Talent ID, Screening, Validation, Talent Based Learning /Development.
