Deborah Ruf, Ph.D. has spent her career focused on that small area at the far right end, or tail, of the curve; the individuals that make up the most intellectually gifted of our society. One might think that the individuals who score in this area are more similar than not, but through her research, Dr. Ruf has discovered and defined five distinctively different levels of giftedness.
