exactly, exactly.
[quote-kriston]I've just had enough brushes--even with people who know GT kids--even with people who HAVE GT kids!--who think fast=GT and slow=not GT. The stereotype of the GT kid is the one who has all the answers done before the teacher even sets down the book. Kids who don't look like that have a tougher time getting seen in my experiencewho think fast=GT and slow=not GT.

Now that's just depressing and I agree that happens. If we want to generalize that 130 and up is GT and that is roughly 3%, do we really need to nitpick differences in such a small group. Similar number score or not, the kids are all different and I get frustrated when I see a "list of GT traits" that is supposed to be some sort of a nay or yea checklist.
