I'm not gifted by sense of the word. I am on this site everyday, but I don't participate b/c I don't feel qualified. Most, if not all of the people on the forum are way smarter than me.
Bah! I'm mouthier. That sure doesn't mean I'm smarter.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt." Was that Ben Franklin, I think? Wise words! LOL!
And BTW, I agree with Dottie that many people misjudge their own level of intelligence. One of the reasons I thought DS7 was MG for so long was because I thought I was MG (or less) growing up, and he seemed smarter than I was, but not one of those "college at 10yo" kids, which is what I thought HG+ was.
When I had DS7 tested, my mom handed over my test scores. Oops! I was more GT than I realized...which meant that DS7 was more GT than I realized...which meant that not all HG+ kids go to college at age 10!
Live and learn! Certainly GT denial is alive and well in people about themselves, not just about their kids.
But GT or not, this is a place for all who feel like they belong here. Speak up, please, Tall boys and others! I can't hear you in the back!
