Abstract	Most conceptions of giftedness overly focus on the gifted "individual" and leave out the social and global context in which the individual grows. However, human lives are intricately interconnected. An individual's actions can have large effects on other individuals, societies, and nature. In this article, I argue a paradigm shift is needed in the way giftedness is construed today. I draw on the three C's conception of giftedness in which gifted behaviors are seen as an interplay of competence in action, commitment to task, and concern for others. I discuss seven profiles of gifted behaviors: Profile 1--competent (high competence); Profile 2--committed (high commitment); Profile 3--concerned (high concern); Profile 4--indifferent expert (high competence and commitment); Profile 5--amateur altruist (high commitment and concern); Profile 6--uncommitted thinker (high competence and concern); and Profile 7--fully developing talent (high competence, commitment, and concern). Further, I discuss how this taxonomy can inform education and identification practices in gifted education. (As Provided).
