[quote=Anonymous]"Profoundly gifted" is all a matter of semantics. The traditional definition was an IQ of 180+ and a rarity of less than 1 per 1,000,000 people. Those are the kids with extreme needs who end up graduating from college as 12 year olds. Then, there's the DYS definition of calling every kid with a 145+ IQ "profoundly gifted." DYS type profoundly gifted kids occur at a rarity of around 1 per 1000. There are many kids like this served in regular magnet or gifted programs. In the old school definition, they'd be called "highly gifted" and not "profoundly gifted." Almost everyone claiming to have a "profoundly gifted" child is using the DYS definition. [/quote]
