DH and I were identified as gifted in 3rd grade in the top 0.5% of our country (in Southeast Asia). We now live in the Bay Area and we're getting DD8 assessed on the WISC-V next week.
When I mentally check off the typical 'gifted traits' I'm on the fence wrt DD8 is just bright or truly gifted. The goal of doing the WISC-V is to give us insight into how she thinks, and whether we should pursue gifted programs in private schools. There is no gifted program in our school district (Los Altos).
Part of me is dreading that her FSIQ will come back to be < 130 and I think I will be disappointed that she might not be like DH and myself. I know that's so wrong to think that way, but I can't shake the feeling!
Any parents here (who tested as gifted themselves) in this situation before they got their kids tested?
