Haha yes, although I have to say, even though my son's tested results were lower than the norm around here, he still seems to have a LOT of the tricky personality traits common in more highly gifted kids, so it's probably no guarantee against that aspect at least. I just realised a few days ago that (as far as I can assess at home) he's suddenly now reading and comprehending chapter books around a third grade level with 5 months to go until he starts kindergarten. He has just turned 5 so it's not that unusual in and of itself, it's more the pace of improvement without formal instruction that surprised me. It'll be interesting to see how kindergarten goes. Hopefully the social aspects will keep him busy, and writing is not really his strong point (very perfectionist so it's frustrating for him) so there's something for him to work on there.
