Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Could this be "domain-specific" giftedness?

I guess you can have high ability in anything. To me, personally, the word "gifted" entails some sort of thought with a potential output, not just information intake. I guess that reading over the Hoagies link you posted, though, I can see where you're coming from. If your reading-- and thoughts about it-- have driven advanced achievement, are coupled with high ability in expressive language use, etc. I might call you gifted but not a gifted reader. I might prefer "gifted in language arts" or something similar.
