Preferred term

eccentricity and temperament  

Definition

  • From the clichéd absent-minded genius who misplaces his glasses to the obsessive, reclusive artist, giftedness and eccentricity have been linked in common perception. The more talented the individual, the more unconventional and idiosyncratic his or her temperament is thought to be. [Source: Encyclopedia of Giftedness, Creativity, and Talent; Eccentricity and Temperament]
