Maybe we can develop a test for quirkiness, sensitivity, and overexcitabilities as this seems to be the way people define giftedness and not academic or intellectual ability
This thread did not raise the question of gifted identification, but rather use or discontinuation of admissions testing for NYC public specialty high schools.


I never said otherwise...

I gave a sarcastic response because it's ridiculous to think that there is any other way to deem someone worthy of an academic program.
