Gifted individuals are those whose potential is distinctly above average in one or more of the following domains of human ability: intellectual, creative, social and physical.

Meanwhile, Talented persons are those whose skills are distinctly above average in one or more areas of human performance.


GIFTEDNESS designates the possession and use of untrained and spontaneously expressed superior natural abilities (called aptitudes or gifts), in at least one ability domain, to a degree that places an individual at least among the top 10% of his or her age peers.

TALENT designates the superior mastery of systematically developed abilities (or skills) and knowledge in at least one field of human activity to a degree that places an individual within at least the upper 10% of age peers who are or have been active in that field or fields.

To me....it's the same somehow....

Gift is purely from birth and can never be modified e.g Academics, while Talent is purely acquired by exposure to the area of concern and can be modified e.g football
