If you read the whole article, you can find statements about how half of gifted kids are seen as behavior problems. (Doesn't sound like introversion) boys are usually seen as immature, second children not being recognized as giften as often as first born children because of behavior (not lack of iq), etc.

Yes, you can probably find evidence to support the view that gifted kids are introverts just as you can find evidence that gifted kids can be behavior problems.

From my personal experience, the profoundly gifted boys and one profoundly gifted girlI know (backed by test scores at or just below the testing ceiling) are slightly immature, fidgity, talkative, outgoing kids and the other profoundly gifted girl I know is an introvert. This is out of a sample of 6 families. Not statistically significant but just an observation.

More than 70% of gifted kids are introverts with deeper thoughts. It won't be easy for teachers without proper and enough training to fairly identify them.

Who says?

Here's one source from quick Google search.

"About 60% of gifted children are introverted compared with 30% of the general population. Approximately 75% of highly gifted children are introverted. Introversion correlates with introspection, reflection, the ability to inhibit aggression, deep sensitivity, moral development, high academic achievement, scholarly contributions, leadership in academic and aesthetic fields in adult life, and smoother passage through midlife; however, it is very likely to be misunderstood and “corrected” in children by well-meaning adults."
