[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As usual people are confusing gifted (hate that word) with prodigy. Gifted, now called more appropriately (AAP academic!) is generally IQ 115-130. These kids find the regular schoolwork easy and are often the children of UMC professionals. There are a lot of these kids in DCUM. Prodigy, IQ 140-200 are exceptional and much rarer. They have different needs but not usually well addressed in a public school because they are very rare. [/quote] As usual...no. Gifted is an IQ above 130. Profoundly gifted is over 145. Neither is prodigy. A prodigy is someone who as a young child performs a certain thing at an adult level. Btw the IQ tests used on kids don’t go up to 200 and haven’t in years. The WISC goes up to about 155 I believe. A 130 IQ is 2 in 100. Hardly amazing. A 145 IQ is 1 in a 1000. 115 is above average. [/quote]
