Answer 1

People are also not always uniformly gifted in their abilities. A person may be a gifted writer but have average mathematical skills (and vice versa). Psychologist Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences states that a person can be gifted in one or more of several areas: linguistic, musical, mathematical, spatial, bodily (such as a great athlete or dancer), and interpersonal intelligences. Following his theory, a person could have gifted musical ability and average academic performance.

Answer 5

I truthfully believe everyone is gifted in some way. I think that other people as well as that person often hold themselves back from achieving their gift's full potential. What happens is everyone tries to create a set of guidelines for a normal person and when someone steps outside that line they make them come back through peer pressure. I really think this is why there are so many unhappy people...they are gifted in ways that were not nurtured. Now they work in uninspired jobs and have uninspired home lives because they try to fit the laws of normal.

Answer 6

Our schools here, and maybe everywhere, have both Gifted classes and Honors classes.  The students in the Honors classes, like my daughter, are dedicated and study hard so they get very good grades.  Their grades are a direct result of their efforts.  The students in the Gifted classes may not work nearly as hard to get good grades because they have a natural ability (and a curiosity) to learn.  The level of work in both is higher than a regular class.  Don't be jealous -- just always do your best -- that's all anyone can ask of you, and be proud of your accomplishments.

Answer 7

IQ score is the only criteria for that label

Answer 8

a gifted person is usually one who has a high IQ and can generally do well on tests. It really means someone who has a certain talent for something. In schools though it is anyone who has a high IQ and it does get aggravating, because it excludes anyone who may actually be good at something in the real world that does not include tests, but won't get the chance. It is usually completely unfair and in order to be able to do something you really have to push. This does not mean that gifted people are not nice and won't succeed in the real world it just means they have an advantage
