My 2 cents: dd14 & ds8 are both pretty "classic" cases of gifted kiddos. I could go down the checklists & check off 2/3 to 3/4 of the traits for each of them. Besides, I could tell since I was a gifted child. It was like some kind of radar.
BUT...my dd11 doesn't exhibit gifted behaviors. I knew she was smart, but she didn't seem like my other two. But we are finding out that she may have some sort of learning problems that are neurological in nature. She had an IQ test a couple of months ago & as it turns out, all three of their IQs measure within 5 points of one another. Go figure.
