What is talent and genius in psychology? A talented person is talented in everything. How to find and develop talent
The meaning of the word “Talent” is intuitively clear to every person. We are accustomed to mean by it some bright, outstanding abilities, the ability to create. Meanwhile, few people know that each of us is by nature talented in something. It is not at all necessary to be a genius in the field of physics or mathematics, or to have a pronounced artistic gift. Of course, every writer, artist and musician has talent. However, at the same time, no one and nothing interferes to an ordinary person begin to educate himself and develop the abilities that he has from birth.
It's just a matter of helping yourself make a decision. This is something you come to only after experiencing some failures. When the formation of personality occurs, a pronounced need appears to show one’s uniqueness. After all, you don’t want to be like those around you in everything, you have to find your own distinctive ones and grow them to large-scale sizes. There is a widespread belief that a talented person is talented in everything. This means that he tries to get as close as possible to understanding his own essence and purpose, tries his hand at various activities.
Talent occupies a special place in a person’s life. Many people understand the importance of finding their purpose, and to do this, they urgently need to know what abilities they have. Unfortunately, adults do not always have reliable information about their own abilities. The fact is that most talents do not develop, but are destroyed on the vine in childhood. As a result, a person never reveals the potential inherent in him, does not become famous and famous. To develop talent, you need to have faith in yourself, take concrete steps, and this is associated with the ability to overcome yourself and be persistent.
Among other things, talent always implies taking responsibility. Many people who later achieved great success, noted that those around them often did not understand them, even laughed and did not believe in the prospect of developing outstanding abilities. No matter how society views you and your activities, you need to be active in order to achieve great success.
What is talent?
Many people mistakenly understand talent as something amazing and outstanding. They believe that talent must be conspicuous, be so bright that it cannot be ignored by others. In fact, any abilities do not suddenly appear on their own; they need to be developed, putting in significant effort and time. It is extremely unreasonable to expect that small child Learn to draw or play a musical instrument on your own.
What is talent? How does it manifest itself in everyday life? First of all, abilities are expressed in a person’s desire to engage a certain type activities. That is, a child or an adult has a great desire to do something, to express himself in something. If you are already an accomplished person and, at a conscious age, discovered a desire to start a new business, do not be alarmed. Try to trust your inner feeling - it will tell you how best to act. Sometimes people discover their talents even in adulthood.
How to find your talent?
No less important issue for a person is like this: how to find your talent? In fact, it is not always easy to understand what you are attracted to. The inclination of the soul is best shown in early childhood, however, due to various circumstances, this moment is often missed. What is the best thing to pay attention to?
Your dream area
Remember what you like to do more than anything in the world? Maybe some activity inspires you to such an extent that you are ready to move mountains? This state is called enthusiasm, strong inspiration. Anyone who has experienced it at least once knows that the feelings that arise are very strong, vital energy literally goes off scale and overflows. If you feel similar movements of the soul in yourself, know: you are on on the right track. The main thing is, perhaps, not to stop there, but to continue to move forward.
Talent- a stubborn thing. Sometimes he stubbornly refuses to open up. Strive to put maximum energy and effort into your dream area. With the right approach, all this will ultimately bring the expected results. The result may not be noticeable immediately, but it will still manifest itself at a certain stage, you just have to wait patiently for it. You can hide talent within yourself, not show it to anyone and not reveal it to yourself, but this is the wrong path.
Finding your niche
Such a search may take years, but it is worth it. Don’t waste time on self-knowledge, believe me, everything will pay off when you understand what your personal purpose is. It’s much easier to live by being “like everyone else” and trying not to stand out. But this is actually a dead-end path that does not lead to any development!
Finding your niche helps you understand where your talent lies and how to develop it. Every person feels more gifted and successful in some way. If you direct all your energy to developing your talent, success will not be long in coming. If you dream of making your cherished dream come true, take action! Talent will become your ally and will lead you forward to new horizons and achievements.
Personality development
From childhood, we are taught to meet the specific requirements of society, to fit ourselves into a certain framework of behavior. Manifestations of individuality are often suppressed at a very tender age, ultimately preventing individuality from growing. And now a person comes into life who learns to live according to the laws of society and does not care at all about his own fulfillment. Such a person is unlikely to ever think about his talent, let alone try to realize it in some way. The talent never manifests itself, the connection between the individual and his inner essence is lost.
The movement towards a dream should begin with the development of individuality. Talent will truly manifest itself only when you are fully aware of the responsibility that belongs to you. If you do not develop talent, you should not expect any serious results.
Working with self-esteem
Why is this important? Talent can best manifest itself in a person who sufficiently respects and values his own personality. it is necessary to increase in the case when a person is too constrained to position himself in society in one capacity or another. Such people, most often, are not noticed in the team; no one even suspects that they have talent, since they themselves prefer not to stand out. Adequate and timely work with self-esteem will allow you to effectively overcome existing complexes and pressures. This, in turn, will bring you closer to understanding your essence and developing your talent.
Thus, it should be understood that talent alone is clearly not enough to achieve success. You need to constantly work on yourself. Overcoming difficulties strengthens, helps to release additional forces, which are exactly what is needed for development.

Genius is 1% talent and 99% work
If everything is difficult to understand, then some questions may arise about talent. In psychology, talent is understood as a unique set of special qualities a person possesses from birth. These features predetermine those traits that will develop in the future, as well as the area in which the gift will be realized in order to bring greatest benefit to society. Currently, talent is characterized as a special ability for any activity or business.
Talent begins to develop in every person from birth. It can be called a certain foundation on which a personality will be created, a successful and talented person will be formed. But it’s not easy to become such a person; for this you need to make an effort. large number effort and labor. Having carried out a chain of inferences, one can come to the conclusion that something that a person will do for a long time and successfully, and at the same time no one will force him to do it, is a gift.
You can discover genuine talent at any time, even if you already have some success in one area or another. But how do you know what talent a certain person has?
Now there is an opinion that one person can have not one gift, but a whole set. But this is not true, it is a myth. From the moment of birth, a person has only one main talent, but it can manifest itself in different ways, in different fields and professions.
How to identify your strengths
So how to find your talent? Now there are a large number of ways in which you can determine your gift. Here's one of them. Applying this method, the main thing is to set yourself up for the search; it is also very important that no one distracts you. The technique involves several stages:
2. Second step. Then calmly, without rushing, you need to re-read the list, paying attention to the emotions that arise when reading. At this stage, visualizing the action you are currently thinking about is also important. This will help you better recognize the emotions that arise when you do one thing or another. Don't forget that it should be useful not only for you, but also for society. If you feel that you are experiencing pleasant emotions, write this down in a separate column.
3. Third step. Perhaps this is the most difficult stage, since you need to work hard at it. We will have to determine what is common between the cases that we selected in the previous paragraph. Something can complement each other, something can depend on the other. There is a high probability that all this will not work out the first time, then it is worth repeating the analysis again.
4. Fourth step. As a result of processing the previous data, your talent will become obvious to you. To be more precise, you will end up with something like a chain, the links of which will be the characteristics of your talent.
Having decided on his gift, a person immediately begins to clearly understand what he should do next and why he lives in principle. Knowing your purpose helps you decide future profession, and many people are currently actively doing this educational institutions, such as schools and universities. When a person knows exactly his talent, he will not waste precious time searching for his place in life.
How many people, so many talents
Speaking about talents, one cannot fail to mention their types. So what are talents? Currently, the following talents are identified:
- Verbal-linguistic gift. Lawyers and writers cannot do without this talent, and it is also very necessary for journalists and translators.
- Hearing gift. If you think you're a natural musician or linguist, you can't do without this gift.
- Digital gift. People with a digital gift are definitely mathematicians, or physicists, or programmers - in general, techies.
- Spatial gift. As is known, spatial thinking designers and artists have, and this is also a gift.
- Physical gift. And who said that talent is not needed in sports? Athletes and dancers have exactly this gift.
- Personal/interpersonal gift. To practice psychology, you also need to be a gifted person.
- Entrepreneurial gift. Well, there’s nothing to say here. Business is hard work and it takes a gift to do it.
- And many others.
Having identified precisely his extraordinary abilities and turning his inclinations into abilities and skills, a person will gradually achieve greater success. Everyone will agree that success is very important in our lives. To successful people they are always welcome, they always want to see them, they want to follow them.
When a person develops his talent, he can make all his desires come true. He can realize all the hopes that both society and himself place on him. Thanks to all this, he becomes a successful and happy person.
If a person realizes his talent to its full potential and with its help creates something grandiose, then he is called a genius. Such people are especially valued in society; they have great influence on people.
If you develop your greatest strengths, then no one will care about your shortcomings. After all, a person cannot be perfect in everything, but he can do something great in one area. Author: Olga Morozova
Talent is the potential or inherent ability of an individual. IN explanatory dictionaries The meaning of the word talent is defined as a person’s special personal predispositions. As they gain experience, they form a skill. In contrast to genius, when a person is considered gifted in everything, and that, it should be noted, history knows only isolated cases when a talented person has high abilities relating to one, two, and less often several areas at once.
The meaning of the word talent is interestingly revealed thanks to the Greek root, which also denotes a measure of weight, monetary calculation in ancient times. Here we recall the parable of the distributed talents, which tells not only about coins, but also teaches how to deal with the skills that nature has endowed us with - not to “bury” them, but to increase them in every possible way.
What is talent?
Talent is simply higher good result, this is special, noticeable even to others as extraordinary abilities. For example, if a person has a high ability to play chess, then with certain efforts he shows good game. However, the talent for the game will begin to manifest itself, as if on its own, will be felt through the attraction to chess, and the results will exceed the results of those who simply have good skills. Others will notice this, considering such a player special, as if he has natural superpowers. There is always some kind of awe in relation to talent. However, talent is not always immediately visible. If a talented person has never had the opportunity to encounter the subject of his talent, he may be completely unaware of his ability.
This happens in life in conditions that are unsuitable for the development of this area. More than one film has been made about people from the lower economic strata of the population or poor countries, which, when they get into new life became brilliant boxers, dancers, even scientists, with at least a little training.
The difficulty of identifying talent is also related to other special conditions, not only economic - there are cases when a child at school was considered mentally retarded, but with special training he not only achieved high levels in the field of his talent, but also made discoveries and was a pioneer in a new field. What is also important here is freshness of view, unclouded knowledge of how to do it right, which is typical of ordinary people who do not try to look at the subject of study or training from a different angle, but, as if according to a template, perform the necessary actions.
A talented person will be able to achieve super results both using the usual development method, and even often without it, or he will try to make a personal contribution to it. In what it does talented person, her special handwriting is always visible.
Without developing his natural gift, a person often remains simply interested in, for example, singing, and pleases himself and his acquaintances with this hobby. But having found himself in the right conditions - at a talent show, and having received the basics of training, he can radically change his life. However, a pronounced talent often does not allow its bearer to live in peace, forgetting about it. It’s as if it’s rushing out, the power of talent sometimes even rules a person, captivating him and demanding that his aspiration find a way out - like a strong plant breaking through the asphalt.
There are stories when a person was forbidden to follow his passion by parents, mentors, and society. Then a serious conflict flared up in the individual between the unconscious powerful desire to do what he loved and the prohibitions against it. This was especially true in earlier, more despotic times. And here you can even partly understand those who imposed the ban. For example, hereditary doctors could be guaranteed to provide their child with a decent and prosperous future by teaching him medicine, referring his clients and famous name. However, a particularly gifted, naturally talented son or daughter could not always submit to this course of events, feeling that they had no right to follow this faceless, empty and unhappy path for them. If, in addition to talent, a person had at least some pronounced strong-willed qualities, then he could resist the pressure of the environment and protect his gift, sometimes receiving recognition only after death. However, what a recognition this is!
Not alone indeed great man was unrecognized in his fatherland and time. Often, this environment does not want, is not able to perceive something new, different from the usual, resists the new trend or even aggressively defends itself against it. Some talents were so contrary to socially recognized activities that the bearer himself could not explain to himself that he possessed it, and tried to fight and eradicate the attraction to the talent. However, neither external nor internal struggle with true talent does not bring the desired results, the power of talent only grows from struggle. Many outstanding, sharp, talented works, usually artistic ones, were created precisely under the influence of this conflict, as if at a turning point, they can be traced with the mental hesitation and even suffering of the creator. But, as in the case of their creator, they later captured the minds and hearts of their viewers, and often even laid the foundation for a new, revolutionary direction, later becoming classics.
By itself, without development, testing, training, sometimes even painful hours spent on it, without its manifestation, talent has no power and is not interesting to others. Like a precious stone, it requires filigree processing from its master in order to turn from a rough piece of stone into a shining jewel. Time and work spent in developing your talent is the next necessary step for the inherent ability to transform into something more and find its manifestation.
In order to be useful and recognized, I must not only know that I am talented, but also determine in what form the world can perceive my talent today, and then make an effort and spend time. Working based on his talent, its owner needs to catch up with those who, by hard work in this direction it is now receiving the best results.
Today talent often has practical application, is a source of income and the dream of many people - to work in their field of interest. Therefore, understanding the market as a receiver of the results of talented work is very important today.
Types of talent
Back in 1980, Gardner, in his book, divided abilities and identified types of talent. They still well illustrate the main groups of talents, although after Gardner more than 30 more types were identified.
Verbal-linguistic talent is the ability to clearly formulate your thoughts and express them beautifully, mental acuity and words. This talent is inherent in outstanding journalists, speakers, and writers.
Digital talent is the ability to deal with numbers and various kinds of precise symbols. It is characteristic of mathematicians, programmers and economists who perceive the world through precise expressions and are able to quickly carry out calculations. Clearly digitally gifted people seem to live in a world of abstractions, and without developing social skills, they may even look strange to other people.
The spatial type of talent is nothing more than the ability to navigate space and creatively transform it, which is found among designers and artists. They often have their own special view of reality, and they express it in objects of art. However, there are also those who are talented in broadcasting realistic world, can accurately recreate the view, as if on a photograph.
Physical talent is characteristic of people who have excellent control of their body and senses. Here is the widest range of classes from outstanding workers physical labor to skilled dancers. People of this type are opposite in their style of perception to people of a mathematical disposition, therefore training for the physically gifted should be in practice, through physicality.
Personal or emotional talent is responsible for the ability to recognize one’s own feelings and live a deep inner life. This type of talent is akin to observing one's own mental life and opposite. It can be seen, for example, in outstanding writer Dostoevsky.
Interpersonal talent helps in communicating with other people and is needed by teachers, politicians, actors and public figures.
Gardner also identifies a type of talent as a separate group. environment. This is the ability to harmoniously fit into nature, the world around us and to correspond to it, it is characteristic of born farmers and animal trainers.
These types of talent can be combined with each other. For example, a person gifted with spatial and digital talents can become a good architect. And someone who is emotionally and interpersonally gifted is a good psychologist.
How to find your talent?
Recognizing talent is like finding your own strengths, however, finding your talents and abilities is something more.
How to discover talent in yourself, your children, recognize it in other people, and help in its discovery? To do this, you should analyze previous achievements or facts, answering which of these results are outstanding.
U small child you can recognize talent by trying it out different types activities: offering to sing, dance, design. And it may turn out that the child sang perfectly, with, without special training, better than other children. Often even children themselves are drawn to what their talent lies in. A child who is talented in singing does not need to be forced to sing; he will probably hum often, with pleasure, and his parents will easily notice his love and ability to sing. And here it is important to properly use the talent given by nature - to give it the opportunity further development, provide conditions like soil, watering, light and fertilizer for the flower.
How to find your talents and abilities? Below is a methodology through which you can identify your talents in successive steps.
Step 1. What is your dream? Remember your dreams from childhood up to the present moment, write them down.
Step 2: Divide them into categories: to have and to be. The first category concerns desires to possess certain things. Whereas the second is the desire to be someone, to become the person you dreamed of. IN further work According to the methodology, we take only dreams from the second category.
Step 3. Write down those professions that resonate with you. Remember those people in whose place you wanted to be.
Step 4. What do you like to do? Add to the list those activities that bring you true satisfaction, those that do not require coercion for you, but on the contrary, make you happy.
Step 5. Combine all the written down dreams, favorite activities and professions, and check which ones cause positive emotions at your place. For the greatest accuracy, imagine yourself in each role in as much detail as possible, visualize it as if it were your reality now. Rate your sensations in your body and emotions on a scale of 10.
Step 6. Cross off from the list those areas that received low marks - these are the desires that can be easily abandoned.
Step 7. Group the resulting list of your inclinations if some of them are related. For example, in one desire you want to sing, and in another you want to gain recognition and fame, then they are logically combined into the desire to become a famous singer.
Step 8. Name each group a talent, for example, as in the previous example, the talent of singing.
Step 9. Look for connections between the formed groups. In life, in practice, your inclinations necessarily support each other or conflict, but in the end they form a unique individual combination.
Step 10. What use can you find for your abilities? Consider each group of inclinations grouped together as a talent and the connections between them to find ways for you to realize these abilities. Give each profession or field of activity a rating on a scale out of 10 again and highlight the most promising ones.
Step 11. From specific activities, choose the one that is closest to you, likes it and has a high chance of bringing you success. This will be your talent.
