A popular export from Stanford d.school and consultancies. Useful as a beginner loop; thin as a complete talent theory. The Bauhaus made “designer” a school identity: workshops, preliminary courses, a bet that form could be taught. Older craft guilds already knew. The word “talent” arrived later as branding.

Myths around design talent travel faster than papers. Each item pairs a folklore line with a tighter claim. Worldwide notes name real systems — 영재교육, 예고, 部活, CTY, AIS, Iten — as places and policies, not racial essences.
