I've read that siblings tend to be within 10 IQ points of one another, but I was wondering if anyone here has both HG and non-HG kids. We've always suspected our DD4 was high, but our DD3 is COMPLETELY different. DD4 has always been extremely verbal, well-reasoned, and INTENSE. DD3 is happy-go-lucky and not as verbal.
I did read one study that showed how parents are quite adept at identifying their oldest child as gifted, but less so when it comes to identifying the second because second siblings tend to have such different personalities from the first. DD3 tends to be overshadowed by DD4's intensity and verbosity, but I still don't see the same "gifted characteristics" in her that led me to research giftededness when DD4 was quite young. Anyone have any insight?
