![]() We cannot tell you if you're gifted from what you want to tell us about yourself. The full scale score being lower than expected is usually not indicative of a false negative by itself. False negatives usually have a very heterogeneous profile where the subscores show little correlation. So this way gifted individuals might have superior cognitive ability but not an IQ 2 standard deviations +. ![]() IQ tests are the only way to quantify intelligence we currently have, the issue they have is however false negatives for example due to cultural or psychological reasons. However the diagnosis can only be as good as the means to acquire it. Therefore they can only be soft diagnostic criteria.Ĭognitive testing resulting in an IQ of 2 standard deviations above the mean + would be a hard diagnostic criterium because only gifted individuals have superior cognitive abilities and all gifted individuals have superior cognitive abilities. Guess well never know lolĬertain character traits and specific experiences growing up are not exclusive to giftedness nor are they immanent features of giftedness. Idk is it possible that i could be gifted? Its not that i want to get an ego boost i just want to understand myself better so i would like to know your honest opinionĮdit: i wrote that i has an iq of 10, what i meant was 100 ‘:)Įdit: i took an iq test that wasnt just visual iq testing and got 132 but i’m not sure how legit the quiz was. It’s not just that i’m smart and conflate that with Intelligence, i am good at learning and finding connections its just more in terms of language and humanities and as mentioned before i fit well with the description of giftedness including the more subtle traits (feeling allienated, being very sensitive and curious, always had a strong sense of justice). I was a bit distracted when i took the test so i might have been able to score mildly higher but the result isnt that surprising because while i am very good at humanities i am pretty average at math. I took a short mock mensa test and my iq was around 100. Those descriptions (which i found on various websites) didnt really mention iq but it seems to be pretty big criteria here. When i read descriptions of gifted kids i find that i fit and have fitted very well in to that experience, a lot of stuff would make sense from my past if i think of myself as gifted. Okay i’m sorry if this sub gets a lot of these posts but i couldnt really find any other posts that answered my question.
