Interesting. DS didn't say a clear Yes to any of them, but did "sort of"s to 4, 5 and (even more sort of) 8. The tone was probably set for him by the fact that I felt I had to start off by asking "do you know what gifted means?" and that his answer to 1 was "well, no, because I don't really feel I want to know what being gifted is all about"!
