[QUOTE="Malika, post: 534536, member: 11227"] Yes, personally I agree with you, Kathy. According to IQ measurement, I would in your country have been labelled "gifted" and perhaps been in a gifted programme. But I don't think the label would have helped me. I just liked learning, reading, had intellectual curiosity... and hated school! All the "study" I did was in my own time and following my own interests. If I had been called gifted, I know I would have felt like a freak, and called upon to perform, to live up to something arbitrary and artificial that I couldn't reproduce on a regular basis. Can't explain it very adequately but I'm glad to have got through unscathed and unnoticed and left to my own devices! [/QUOTE]
