My son is 11 and was tested at age 4-had an IQ of 143. Most of the time, he does not seem all that gifted to me. He does very well in math, and was reading at age 4, but wasn't doing calculus at age 6 like some children you hear about. To me, my son seems like a "typical" child most of the time. Maybe I am missing something with him...but he does not seem to fit the profile, either.
