[quote=Anonymous]Like others have said, your kid will probably be good at some things, and not as good at other things. Since this is an anonymous forum, I'll just come out and say it: My parents had to get my sister and me tested at a very young age (under 5 years old) to see if we qualified for a magnet program. My IQ came out at 147 and hers at 153 (so within the margin of error of each other). To my knowledge, that's within either the "highly gifted" or "genius" categories.

We both found school easy, but weren't at the top of our class in every subject. My sister still isn't a great speller, but she's about to finish a PhD program.

I graduated with honors from Andover, high honors from college, and honors in top grad program. I have my dream job and am excelling at it. That said, science and math never came as easily to me as it did to others. I was stronger in social sciences and the humanities.

My point is that even kids who are technically "highly gifted" will show strengths and weaknesses. I am not convinced that anyone is superior in every single academic discipline. [/quote]
