#6  "Gifted" does not mean gifts.
It generally means you must work harder.

#5  From Skidmark’s IQ article:

Kids that had scored on the 'gifted' scale 30 years ago, wouldn't have that same classification by today's standards, while those who had scored in the lower range might score in the intellectually disabled range in 2024,' Dombrowski said.

The average level of where a person should be intellectually is a score of 100, and in comparison, a person with an IQ between 115 and 130 is considered 'gifted' while anyone with an IQ between 130 and 145 is labeled as a genius.


I have no idea what that first paragraph means. As for the second, both trailing daughters tested as gifted, which put them in the top 2% of their age group. Last I looked, giftedness does not directly correlate to raw IQ, being the result of thinking differently about things than the rest of us, whether in art, music, or academics; incidentally, giftedness is categorized as a learning disability, alongside mental retardation and dyslexia. And IQs in the 115-130 range are bright, 130-145 are brilliant, and above 145 are genius — though perhaps the English label the categories differently.

Finally, the several point variation in IQs is well within the IQ test’s 10-point error range, assuming the silly thing were done properly — which it never is.
