Gifted People.

[Aura]

I'll start off by saying I don't think I'm smart at all! If you met me, you'd probably think I'm the most awkward, stupid, hyper, lazy, boring person on the planet. I started speaking English at 5. I never did anything 'academic' before school, except maybe at Chinese kindergarten because they are fairly strict... but I can't remember that. xD
Also, I think it's important to be modest about yourself. But here's the facts.
I am commonly regarded as 'gifted'. I have never done a test of any sort, but I pick up academic things fairly easily. I have gotten every scholarship I have ever applied for, and both maths and English come to me very easily. I am always in the accelerated class, but unfortunately I have moved to a new school where we only have the class once a week. This is very irritating, and I get bored and tend to drift. I think that these 'special' classes don't give us 'inflated' egos, I actually think they're a lot more interesting because otherwise I never learn anything at school! Plus, if you're pretty much failing all the time, you aren't as self-centered than if you were in a normal class and not even trying but succeeding. All. The. Time.
Unfortunately, there are some girls who seem to think they know it all and boast about how they 'know everything'. The more you think you know, the less you actually do. I will never say I'm smart. I just have had a shot at a good education and I tend to pick things up easily, and my parents are extremely strict and tutor me all the time. I bet if everyone lived my life, they would get the same scores.
I am in 7th grade and have completed 10th grade math. It was difficult for me. I'm not really a maths genius, unlike my friend who just whizzes through 11th grade in the blink of an eye.
I commonly enter nationwide competitions and have recently come 1st in Nationals.
I also read a lot of books (three a day if I have time, normally classics or thrillers if I feel lazy) and have an 'extensive' vocabulary. (not my words...)
However I am not as smart socially, and I tend to talk back to teachers. I admit that freely, that I can be a brat. I don't trust teachers enough as 'authority figures', because the teachers I have had are often racist, irresponsible or tend to pick 'favourites'. Teachers don't like me very much... I'm not popular but not unpopular either among my peers. I'm not that much of a leader, I tend to skulk around the back and the actual leaders of the class request my advice when they need it.

I took the test, and I'm gifted. In I believe it was communications and using my brain to solve problems. I'm good with logic and stuff.

I also was reading at a 12th grade level when I was in first grade. I don't know what my reading level is anymore, but I'm in high school now. I've always been in the highest percentile for our state tests too. But other than that, I don't know.

I was classified as gifted after taking a provincial test. I'm mostly gifted in math ( I fing it extremely easy, but fun) and language (I read at a higher level), but mostly math. I have no idea what my IQ is. Any one in any special high school programs? I was wondering if anyone here was in theInternational Bacloriate program.

being gifted doesnt mean your smart, it means you have the capability of being smart...

there ARE gifted hobos.

They never had any sort of test like that when I was in school. We had standard tests as well as options to take classes that were a bit harder.

As I recall, there really wasn't a test to get in, per se; they just looked at past grades in the subject to see if you qualified.
