Brief Summary

This is a prospective observational psychology study on a non-clinical population, involving the use of questionnaires (non-interventional research). This study involves the collection of data associated with High Intellectual Potential characteristics, sensory profile, and includes clinical measures such as anxiety anxiety, autistic traits and coping in High Intellectual Potential and control participants.

Conditions

High Intellectual Potential

Keywords

High Intellectual Potential; Sensory Profile; Coping Strategies; Anxiety; Sensory Processing; Autistic traits

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sensory profile from the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile according to each group.

  Sensory profile scores is obtained using the self-report questionnaire Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) after the participant has been included in the study. Subscores for sensory sensitivity, low registration, sensation seeking, and sensation avoidance are collected. For each subscore, the minimum and maximum values range from 15 to 75. A high score indicates high sensory sensitivity.

  At enrollment

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Sensory profile from the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile according to the cognitive profile of the High Intellectual Potential group.

  At enrollment

• Scores for anxiety from the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory according to each group

  At enrollment

• Scores for task coping drawn from the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations according to each group

  At enrollment

• Description of the frequency of autistic traits for each group

Study Arms (2)

High Intellectual Potential

Subjects with a High Intellectual Potential : Cognitive assessment using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III or WAIS-IV) scale or Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-VI or WISC-V) scale by a psychologist. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) ≥ 130, in the case of a homogeneous cognitive profile, or General Aptitude Index (GAI) ≥ 130 \[124-134\], in the case of a heterogeneous cognitive profile

Other: Scales; Other: High Intellectual Potential Scale

Control

Subjects whitout High Intellectual Potential

Other: Scales

Interventions

Scales OTHER

This observational study consists of data collection using a structured questionnaire based on an e-CRF, distributed by e-mail. Four questionnaires were administered : the Revised Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-R-Fr), the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). Socio-demographic and treatments were collected.

Control; High Intellectual Potential

High Intellectual Potential Scale OTHER

For participants with High Intellectual Potential, the total Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or General Ability Index (GAI), along with the index scores from the Wechsler scales (Verbal Comprehension Index, Perceptual Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, and Processing Speed Index), will be extracted from the cognitive assessment previously completed by the participant prior to study enrollment.

High Intellectual Potential
