[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what does he do exactly that you feel he is extraordinarily/profoundly gifted? Other than test score. [/quote]

Obviously, since I asked this because I was surprised by his test score, I didn't feel that before.  But maybe I was in denial.

His academic scores pretty much match his IQ scores, not just the ones from this time around but the standardized testing he does for school, and the admissions testing he took for private school.  He gets math tutoring because he kept pestering his older brother's math tutor until we added an extra 30 minutes for him.  So, I think I thought "well, he's good at math, but that's because he's getting math tutoring, and he copies his older brother".

He is always busy, and busy doing interesting things.  He has a lot of things he does well, but some of that is that he spends a lot of time doing them, because he fills every second of his time, and because he doesn't seem to spend any time doing HW (although teachers report that it's all turned in).
