I never had my IQ tested...I never did the SAT and just barely made it through highschool. I did college courses in highschool for English and Literature and graduated with 9 credits already but after 2 years of college I dropped out. I moved out at 17/18 as soon as I barely graduated highschool and have been working full time and being to independent. I would have never considered myself smart. My husband is book smart, my father is one of the top engineers in our state and my mom is a retired teacher who now is our kids "daycare". I have very intelligent people in my family and although hubby would like to take credit for our sons and daughters brilliance I wouldn't necessarily agree lol...but I won't tell him that. My parents continue to believe the kids got my inteeligence and hubbys book smarts but I just don't agree. Anyways according to specialists we have seen they believe giftedness is a maternal genetic component...anyone agree with that?
