Created by Dr. Mary-Elaine Jacobsen, adapted by Chad Peevy.
EvIQ, or Evolutionary Intelligence Quotient, is a framework inspired by the work of Dr. Mary-Elaine Jacobsen, who introduced the idea that gifted traits reflect advanced human potential in motion.
Building on her concept of “Everyday Genius,” EvIQ helps individuals understand their giftedness not just as ability, but as an evolutionary signal—marked by intensity, complexity, and drive—calling them toward self-mastery and meaningful contribution.
Knowing your EvIQ helps you make sense of your inner experience so you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and self-trust.
Multiple Intelligence is a theory that suggests people have different kinds of intelligences—beyond IQ.
Gifted traits are innate intensities, sensitivities, and abilities that cause a person to perceive, feel, and think more deeply or differently than others.
Advanced development refers to the ongoing inner growth of gifted individuals.
Inside the EvIQ Report, you’ll find a personalized profile of your gifted traits—like intensity, complexity, drive, perception, and more.
It highlights how these traits show up in your life and offers practical insights to help you understand yourself, navigate challenges, and step more fully into your potential. This report is your starting point for turning self-awareness into meaningful action.
Here are some things you should know before you begin…
Dr. Mary-Elaine Jacobsen’s The Gifted Adult is a groundbreaking book that reframes giftedness as a deep, often hidden well of intensity, complexity, and potential.
It’s not about being better—it’s about being wired differently, and learning to understand that difference.
Jacobsen explores how gifted traits can feel like both a burden and a superpower, especially when left unrecognized.
The book offers powerful insights into the inner lives of gifted adults—people who often feel out of sync with the world around them.
It’s both a mirror and a guide, helping readers move from confusion to clarity and from overwhelm to purpose. If you’ve ever felt like “too much” or “not enough,” this book might help you finally make sense of it.
