I agree that "gifted" is not one size fits all. There are various shades even at very high IQs. Some will have PG math skills but moderate verbal skills, some will be at a decently high level across the board, some will be verbally extraordinary. Building an encyclopedia in their brains of various facts. Allowing your child to be in the milieu of other gifted children will allow them to find their own interests, hopefully enhance their passions, and strive to do well in an environment that would challenge them more. Worst mistake, and I made this over and over again, is to have some expectations of what giftedness should look like in my child. Let them show you what giftedness they have and then help them have the options to explore those further.
