Synthetic giftedness is seen in <a href="/wiki/Creativity" title="Creativity">creativity</a>, <a href="/wiki/Intuition_(knowledge)" class="mw-redirect" title="Intuition (knowledge)">intuition</a>, and a study of the <a href="/wiki/Arts" class="mw-redirect" title="Arts">arts</a>. People with synthetic giftedness are not often seen with the highest <a href="/wiki/Intelligence_quotient" title="Intelligence quotient">IQs</a> because there are not currently any tests that can sufficiently measure these attributes, but synthetic giftedness is especially useful in creating new ideas to create and solve new problems. Sternberg also associated another one of his students, "Barbara", to the synthetic giftedness. Barbara did not perform as well as Alice on the tests taken to get into school, but was recommended to <a href="/wiki/Yale_University" title="Yale University">Yale University</a> based on her exceptional creative and intuitive skills.
