Intellectual interference is a concept that describes the difficulty faced by gifted individuals when trying to convey complex and abstract ideas to interlocutors with lower cognitive abilities. This phenomenon occurs when the depth and multifaceted nature of the gifted person's thinking is not understood, leading to the need for oversimplification, which results in the loss of essential nuances. Although similar to cognitive discrepancy, which deals with the mismatch between intellectual development and emotional/social skills, intellectual interference is centered on communication and its breakdown in the face of the complexity of ideas. The essence of intellectual interference is the difficulty of balancing sophisticated reasoning with the clarity needed to be understood in simpler contexts. This concept can be seen in studies on the communication of gifted individuals and the barriers they face when trying to convey innovative and abstract information.
