Abstract: Beyond the traditional challenge of higher education originally highlighted by Binet more than a century ago, which consists in limiting low student performance, there is a second one, less common, which aims at improving the learning experience of abnormally intelligent students, scoring above the Mensa 143 admission threshold. The latter are both gifted and weak: gifted in terms of intellectual capabilities, and weak in terms of complex relationships and societal fragility. The objective of this article is then to investigate the case of gifted students in order to improvetheir teaching and learning environments. Beside a presentation of problem-based issues, this article also introduces the concept of intelligence and highlights gifted characteristics and traits.
