    Thanks. I did see some of the stats through NUMATS but wasn't sure if that was the complete picture or just a NUMATS stat. Not that it truly matters, but we are fairly new to the whole "gifted" thing and every time she takes some kind of assessment I always wonder if she will still be considered "gifted" or if the other results were anomalies....silly, I know. She is not a high achiever at all and could care less at this point about grades or school, so I am always somewhat bewildered by her results.

    Actually, this is common. You may wish to look up imposter syndrome.

    Oh dear indigo...what does this say about the mom who thinks that?? I've got oodles of personal self confidence because I worked really hard to attain my own "success", but my dd hasn't ever really had to work hard...so I think she's an imposter...yikes....that could be one for Freud!
