[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the 90th percentile for IQ is 120 which is not really gifted. 130 is the start of "gifted" according to those who research it. That's 96% and the one percenters are above 140. Those are the real "think different" set.[/quote] This. One of my children has an IQ of over 140, the other is about 130, they are both very bright obviously but my over 140 child isn’t just a “high achieving” student, in fact they find school and the hypocrisy of education systems to be very irritating and sometime would check out if it was too boring, where as my regular gifted child is a very high achieving student and does not check out if the work is “beneath” their ability. They just keep plugging away are pleased with their outcome. Highly gifted people actually do think differently and are not served well in a traditional classroom in the early years in particular before they can apply to advanced programs and such. [/quote]
