General giftedness (English: General giftedness) is a concept referring to a high level of intellectual ability or talent across a broad range of areas. People with general giftedness demonstrate outstanding abilities in various domains, including academic subjects, creativity, problem-solving, and analytical thinking.

People with general giftedness usually have a high level of intelligence, which is often measured by standard IQ tests. They may also show exceptional skills in critical thinking, creativity, the ability to find new solutions to complex problems, and the capacity for rapid learning.

This giftedness may be noticeable as early as childhood and often requires special educational approaches for its development and support. It is important to create conditions in which a gifted child or adult can fully realize their potential.
