He's gifted.

It's really not possible that he's not gifted.

He's above standard-issue gifted at 150, but I think that there's a +/- 5 points rule or something, so he's at least a little above-standard issue gifted, which to me is about 140-145 (Honors' college at major university).

Gifted isn't about "incredible accomplishments", but it does mean that you need to keep him challenged.
