[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a low-gifted (133 FSIQ) kid who is best friends with a proudly gifted kid (146 FSIQ, and 155+ on one WISC subscore). The qualitative and quantitive differences are obvious. That said, yes he's "weird" which is probably why these two are friends.

[b]I don't think the 130s are gifted. [/b]I think 140+ is really gifted but that's not AAP. AAP is advanced. Gifted kids need a different program.[/quote]

It's because you're too close so you can't see it.

I'd say that someday you may realize that but if you already have kids in upper elementary, you should be old enough to know this by now.  Although there are lots of posters on this forum and this thread that don't, so you seem to be in good company.  [/quote]
I have a gifted kid in that range and I know what PP is saying. When I think of “gifted”, I think of prodigies, which are truly exceptional in their intelligence. The difference between a 130 and 155+ IQ is really noticeable to me.[/quote]

You sound like a real jerk.
