Mine tested 15 fsiq points apart. Both even profilles just one lower. The lower one is just below the DYS cut off.
I was surprised but that is because gifted is not something that existed in 1970's NZ so it never occurred to me that my family members were more than btight. Most of us are underachievers and i think i might be 2e - or i may just have maladaptive coping strategies.
I think gifted parents are more likely to discuss things questions with their kids and answer questions properly but that only accounts for knowledge not inherent skills. A kid with good verbal and reasoning skills at 5 is more likely to be noticed than an equally gifted child who starts school without skills.
