Giftedness is not really a binary quality, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere for administrative purposes. Gifted is often defined as IQ >= 130, and the average IQ is 100. Someone with an IQ of 115 may not be eligible for a school gifted program, but he is still above average in intelligence.
