About this study
Official title: Sensory Profile of People With High Intellectual Potential
This is a prospective observational psychology study on a non-clinical population, involving the use of questionnaires (non-interventional research).
This study involves the collection of data associated with High Intellectual Potential characteristics, sensory profile, and includes clinical measures such as anxiety anxiety, autistic traits and coping in High Intellectual Potential and control participants.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ScalesOther
This observational study consists of data collection using a structured questionnaire based on an e-CRF, distributed by e-mail.
Four questionnaires were administered : the Revised Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-R-Fr), the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y).
Socio-demographic and treatments were collected.
High Intellectual Potential ScaleOther
For participants with High Intellectual Potential, the total Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or General Ability Index (GAI), along with the index scores from the Wechsler scales (Verbal Comprehension Index, Perceptual Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, and Processing Speed Index), will be extracted from the cognitive assessment previously completed by the participant prior to study enrollment.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Sensory profile from the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile according to each group.
Sensory profile scores is obtained using the self-report questionnaire Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) after the participant has been included in the study. Subscores for sensory sensitivity, low registration, sensation seeking, and sensation avoidance are collected. For each subscore, the minimum and maximum values range from 15 to 75. A high score indicates high sensory sensitivity.
Measured: At enrollment
Secondary outcomes (4)
Sensory profile from the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile according to the cognitive profile of the High Intellectual Potential group.
Sensory profile scores will be obtained using the Adolescent and Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview after the participant has been included in the study. Subscores for sensory sensitivity, low registration, sensation seeking, and sensation avoidance will be collected. For each subscore, the minimum and maximum values range from 15 to 75. A high score indicates high sensory sensitivity.
Measured: At enrollment
Scores for anxiety from the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory according to each group
Anxiety scores will be obtained using the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y) scale during an individual interview after the participant has been included in the study. Subscores for State Anxiety and Trait Anxiety will be collected. For each subscore, the minimum and maximum values range from 20 to 80. A high score indicates high anxiety
Measured: At enrollment
Scores for task coping drawn from the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations according to each group
Coping scores will be obtained using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) scale during an individual interview after the participant has been included in the study. The task-oriented coping subscore, emotion subscore, avoidance subscore, distraction subscore, and social diversion subscore will be collected. The minimum and maximum values range from 16 to 90. A high score indicates high oriented coping.
Measured: At enrollment
Description of the frequency of autistic traits for each group
The frequency of autistic traits will be obtained using the Revised Ritvo Autism and Asperger Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-R-Fr) during an individual interview after the participant has been included in the study. The minimum and maximum values range from 0 to 240. The generally accepted threshold for significant autistic traits is 70. A high score indicate high autistic traits.
Measured: At enrollment
