gifted child |
Also found in: Legal, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
gifted childChild naturally endowed with a high degree of general mental ability or extraordinary ability in a specific domain. Although the designation of giftedness is largely a matter of administrative convenience, the best indications of giftedness are often those provided by teachers and parents, supplemented by data from IQ tests and cumulative school records. In most countries an IQ level above a certain point (variously, 120–135) may qualify the child for advanced educational programs. See also genius. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Experts point to other components that can be used to assign kids to school including athletic and intellectual giftedness, as well as socioeconomic status, or SES. Be that as it may, evidence verifying a stronger relationship between intellectual giftedness and leadership talent than between average intelligence and leadership talent is lacking in the refereed literature. Teachers, school counselors, and others often overlook signs of intellectual giftedness and locus attention on such deficits as poor spelling, reading, and writing. |
