First, someone on another board posted this information and someone tell me if it is urban legend or if there is evidence to back it up. Children get there IQ through the X chromesome and because of this the son gets his intelligence from his mother (so shellymos if that is true you just might be in denial) and the daughter gets her intelligence from both parents.
I have never heard that so can't say for sure. I do have an uncle (my mom's brother) who is PG. He is high up there in the computer field and programming/inventions, etc. I don't quite comprehend what all he does, but I know what he does is important and he has been offerred all sorts of jobs based on his history. My mom may be gifted as well, all her brothers were gifted as well (but only one was PG). One of my brothers is HG. Can it skip a generation? As I have said I am not unintelligent, but I am quite certain I am not technically "gifted". My DD seems pretty bright, but she isn't even 2 yet so it's hard to say. She does not appear HG like her brother, but I have read about and am already observing how different it presents itself in siblings.
