Hi,
Type B gifted is new!
My daughter just informed me last night that she is most �gifted� in the �body� (apparently �kinesthetic� was too difficult a word for 8th grade students) and �interpersonal� categories. It seems one of her teachers took the period off from teaching his regular subject to give a pop-psychology interest inventory and explained that RESEARCHERS NOW BELIEVE that there are �multiple� ways to be gifted! I told her that I consider that theory �bunk�, which changed the focus of our conversation to out-dated slang definitions!
I agree with Dottie�s advice to pursue I.Q. testing. It sounds as if he might do especially well on the non-verbal sections. There is also the possibility that he might have some 2E issues.
What does your son tell you about the situation at school?
