This was very informative. I hope I can continue to access the resources or the Gifted Guru’s website for reference. Not only do the questions make you think about your response, it makes you think of the past experiences and future outcomes that you contribute to. My favorite module was definitely Module 6 because it helps the most with identifying the traits, but of course you have to factor all the other module and ways to assess your presumption. I like that the reflections that were spread throughout the modules and not only at the end, and that brain breaks were given throughout which is very important and very considering.
