Overexcitabilities are a high abundance or an over-excitement of energy and response to a
minor stimulus that would not have similar effects on all
children. Profoundly gifted people often have several of these
overexcitabilities, as do indigo children and adults. Indigos will
most commonly have the imaginational, sensory, and emotional OE's as
they're called.
This Theory of Overexcitabilities in advanced person was by Kazimierz Dabrowski (1902 - 1980). It is part of his more comprehensive Theory of Positive Disintegration, which is a personality theory that in summary said that to develop to higher levels of ability one has to break down current belief systems first. Dabrowski's Theory of Overexcitabilities has being discussed at many of the national (US) and regional conferences on gifted education in the last few years.
