Various perspectives on scientific giftedness are analyzed with a view to hypothesizing a framework for understanding scientific giftedness. Current assessment of scientific ability overlooks the impact of creativity and components. It is suggested that authentic scientific creativity is a meshing of artistic and scientific abilities. Scientific giftedness is a pericentric phenomenon ‐ where creative abilities from several intelligence fields mesh. Implications for gifted educators include the provision for artistic activities as a contributory factor in successful gifted science programs.
