Come to think of it, I honestly don't know what "giftedness" looks like in children.

I'll be happy if either of my kids gets into a gifted program or tests 99th percentile in anything.

I just know that neither of them seems to be in my range of intelligence, so I'm not holding my breath. The only thing I have to base things off of is "what was I doing at that age".

I enjoyed school, but that was because I viewed it as a competition where my goal was to prove that I was more intelligent than everyone else and therefore "win".

I was one of those annoying kids who basically told others "I'm extremely intelligent, whereas you are clearly inferior."

Eventually, I recognized that my approach was not the best way to win friends and influence people.
