Among the characteristics within people with high intellectual abilities, some that stand out are a better handling of information, asynchronous development, high awareness, and sensibility. Therefore, our goal was to learn if, due to these characteristics, the children and adolescents with high intellectual abilities have a better understanding and comprehension about COVID-19 compared to those with average intellectual abilities. A qualitative study was conducted at the beginning of the lockdown with 649 children with and without high intellectual abilities. An online questionnaire was used and three open questions were analyzed with the ALCESTE software. The results showed that both groups had a similar handling of the information regarding COVID-19. Despite this, in the high ability group there is a greater social concern, which coincides with some characteristics associated with a more developed moral conscience. The results are then discussed in terms of the importance of designing actions that allow us to adequately follow the control and intervention strategies, as well as to propose improvements in the communication of relevant information before diverse crises to which the child population may be exposed.
在高智力人群的特征中，一些较为突出的是对信息的更好处理、异步发展、高度的意识和敏感性。因此，我们的目标是了解，由于这些特征，与平均智力水平的儿童和青少年相比，高智力的儿童和青少年是否对新冠病毒有更好的理解。在封锁开始时，对649名有和没有高智力的儿童进行了一项定性研究。使用了一份在线问卷，并使用ALCESTE软件分析了三个开放性问题。结果表明，两组对新冠病毒信息的处理方式相似。尽管如此，高能力组有更大的社会关注度，这与一些与更发达的道德良知相关的特征相吻合。然后根据设计行动的重要性来讨论结果，这些行动使我们能够充分遵循控制和干预策略，并在儿童群体可能面临的各种危机之前，在相关信息的传播方面提出改进建议。
