Yeah!
High IQ scores are a great sign of gt-ness, but lack of them don't preclude giftedness.

Giftedness is about special educational needs. If the child just blossoms when they are in a learning environment that is more challenging that what children of that age in your neighborhood usually need, then we can detect that a true learning need has been met. I call this the "Gifted is as gifted does" test.
