It’s an ethical violation for a licensed mental health professional to diagnose someone he has never evaluated personally.
I guess like everything else we don’t know if the psychotherapist did or did not personally evaluate Trump. I’m betting not.
Please read the article. It is not a diagnosis, just a comparison of DJT’s personality traits against key traits documented by a rather novel psychotherapist who studied exceptional people to see what was right about them rather than the failings and weaknesses of those who are below normal. Most psychology studies only address pathology and they may not even know what a mentally and emotionally healthy person is.
+1+1+1
Yeah. The author should've stuck to characteristics of high IQ at various levels, and let the readers draw their own conclusions. Not too bright of the author, who tells us how bright he is.
My guess is that DJT is high IQ. He likes to draw independent conclusions, based on facts and reasoning, and is not deterred from that because of "conventional wisdom" (oxymoron)
Bingo!

As much faith as I have in Their ART... I would probably be more intrigued by what Mr Trump thought of “Them” after a simple Interview (if they were worthy of his time).
Forgoing their Formal Training Mr Trump would also forgo the Clinical description but probably nail the diagnosis with each, as a descriptive word or two to describe them and be far ahead of the professionals, just with a cold read. He has it.
YMMV
Yep, and it’s also well known that observation is no substitute for direct testing when it comes to IQ. Thinking somebody is really smart does not tell you what their actual IQ is.
