Abstract
There is considerable evidence through the works of early and contemporary philosophers, scientists, educators, and artists, that humankind is most fascinated by itself. Our history is replete with descriptions of both individual and group differences in human behavior. Exceptionalities have been the focus of much of this interest, ranging from the gifted mathematician and the idiot savant to the great political leader and the schizophrenic. Human similarities, differences, and exceptionalities have frequently been viewed and even defined in relation to intelligence and personality.
