Author(s): Wu Shuwei , Zhang Xiangqian

Existing researches on knowledge talented persons are mainly from human characteristics perspective, which result in difficulties and disagreements due to variability and complexity embedded in human nature. This paper holds the view that more effective and fundamental way to study knowledge talented persons may be through characteristics of knowledge itself. A classification model of knowledge talented persons is proposed which divides knowledge talented persons into four different types by discussing the specificity and exclusiveness of their knowledge. Further application and extension of this model is also discussed
