[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The op asked if her kid was a genius.

Most DYS kids aren’t geniuses. They are kids with IQs in the profoundly gifted range, or 99.9th percentile, 1 in a thousand. They present differently in an academic environment because they are so, so much more than one IQ score.

Genius is an adjective used to describe people, not IQ scores, certainly not an NNAT score.

[b]The op asked if her daughter was a genius. She would know better than us. But everything she’s said here indicates she is not[/b]. [/quote]

OP here.  Ok, geesh, I was using the term "genius" a bit loosely.  Basically, I'm trying to figure out if she is at the point where we should doing more for her than what we have.  I have suspected for a long time, that if she had gotten involved in activities like math counts, robotics, etc, she would probably excel in them.  But do to circumstances, she never got involved in anything like that.  I realize she's not a one in a million kid, but to be completely honest, I do believe that she is above the "typical gifted kid", so to say. [/quote]
