Results showed that adolescents with ID who have drawing talent also demonstrated higher fluid intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and creative thinking, with participation in art classes further enhancing their artistic performance. The findings support a global view of talent and suggest that giftedness models, such as Renzulli�s three-ring model, may be relevant for individuals with ID.
