I mostly agree with you. GT kids tend to be very empathic and concerned with world issues, equality, etc. They have very high standards of idealism and fairness generally which is highly admirable. But at the same time, it is interesting to sit down with a roomful of GT kids and hear them very openly profess their impatience and lack of understanding for fellow students who don't easily understand things at the same depth they do. They are remarkably open about this but realize, to their credit, that they are probably being quite unfair. I do see them as highly critical of themselves at the same time. The tendency for perfectionism in themselves just sometimes spills over in their frustration with the rest of the world. It's not a bad thing, just fairly typical.
