everyone thinks they’re a former gifted kid if that tells you anything

I hate those posts because most of the people who reply to them weren’t even former gifted kids

You’re only a gifted kid if you took a proper psychiatrist administered IQ test and score over 130, and IQ stays the same for life. Real “former gifted kids” are just gifted teenagers/adults now, with or without problems or motivation, because ACTUAL gifted kids are gifted for life, no matter how much they underperform in the present or future, because IQ doesn’t change. I was a gifted kid and I’m gifted now. I had horrible grades then and horrible grades now. But my IQ? GIFTED. ALWAYS.

My IQ? GIFTED…. ALWAYS
