Re: This is a bit of a ramble...
Oh, the research made me think of... Do you know (or can you point me to a resource that knows) what proportion of "gifted" people have psych problems compared to "average" people? (just out of interest... since I'm from the problematic gifted group)
Psychological problems may be the result of the way people treat the black sheep, but once they are there, well, they are there. Ok, I'm getting kind of fascinated by the idea of depressed, antisocial and unstable mages :D

What else... Gah, I'm so great at brainstorming a mountain of ideas and forgetting half of them X)
