We can all be Beyonders
Program History
Dr E. Paul Torrance coined the word “Beyonders” to describe those at the very high end of creative achievement.
Over forty years ago, he began a study of a high school class in a school known for its high enrolment of gifted students. The senior students then responded to follow-up questionnaires in 1966, 1970, and 1990. From the study, Torrance was able to identify several common characteristics among the Beyonders.
It was found that thirty to forty years later, the Beyonders
- loved the work they were doing,
- were persistent,
- had a clear future-focused self-image,
- never restricted their field of exploration,
- possessed a range of experiences and high energy levels,
- enjoyed challenges,
- took pleasure in discovering the reason behind things,
- and possessed high levels of courage.
