episode six - Intensity

Polish psychologist, Kazimierz Dabrowski, identified 5 innate intensities (he called them overexcitabilities - listen to the episode to hear why we call them intensities instead) that are common among gifted individuals.  In this episode, we introduce these intensities and continue to explore the different wired-ness of gifted individuals.
