If your child is in AAP ...

[Anonymous]

would you willingly admit that your child isn't gifted?

[Anonymous]

yes

[Anonymous]

Don't have a child in AAP, but I'm sure they would. The name was changed already. There would be less that would admit their child isn't academically advanced.

[Anonymous]

heck yes.

[Anonymous]

yep

Definitely not gifted. Maybe not even that advanced? Frankly, we were shocked when DC got into AAP. Bright, yes, but not really advanced.

I could say it, but he has a FSIQ in the upper 150s and was called "profoundly gifted" by the psychologist who tested him, so I'm not sure it would be accurate.

Humblebrag

How on earth is that a humblebrag?

That poster is either just stating facts, just bragging or a combination of both.

She is being very upfront and not trying to mask her kids intelligence in a veiled put down of her child.

Not a humblebrag by any stretch of the word.

Based on the common definition, if a kid's IQ is above 130, she/he is gifted.
Many kids in AAP are gifted.

Is not the point of this post to try and get everybody with a kid in AAP to state that their kid isn't gifted in a sort of "I'm Spartacus" fashion? Some kids are gifted, so everyone can't say that their kid isn't.

Totally a humblebrag I can say it but those who are experts would never say it. A non humblebrag response would be a yes or no...not with a FSIQ score.

I don't think you understand the concept of a humblebrag (I prefer the term "VBA" for "Veiled Brag Alert.") there was no humility in the response at all, so pp wasn't humble.

And most are not. The truly gifted make up a tiny % of the population, not the masses they admit to AAP.
