چکیده
IT-giftedness represents abilities related with widely differing uses of information technologies (IT). Children and adolescents often exhibit surprising abilities in the use of computers.

We analyze the intelligence, social skills, and personality traits of professional software engineers. We then analyze how these might be more easily acquired by IT-gifted children and adolescents.
