Maori

The concept of special abilities from a Maori perspective differs to the Pakeha/European view of giftedness. Maori concept of giftedness includes the following:
 * Maori and ethnic**

· spiritual · cognitive · affective · aesthetic · musical · psychomotor · social · artistic · intuitive · creativity · leadership · cultural abilities and qualities · service to others

One of the big differences of Maori giftedness is that Maori consider talent as something which belongs to the group collectively and not the individual.
