Hey /v/.

Were you the "gifted" kid?
>>
Yeah. 160 IQ, never read anything, played vidya all day, could probably solve most of the worlds problems but don't give fuck...

Such is life I guess. Then again not that you would understand.
>>
Nope.

But I was constantly being put in and out of the AG and AP classes.

It was weird and fucked with my GPA
>>
We had a whole class of kids in the "gifted program".
The other kids called us "gifties"
;_;
>>
>implying 'gifted' means jack shit

half of those kids ended up smoking weed throughout high school and failing completely. the other half were bookworms with no social lives.

such is life in the american school system, wherein children with the potential to become great are squandered.

They tried to get me in the advanced classes, I stood up to my teacher and said "Listen, lady, I only need three letters in ma vocabulary, U, S, and A."

No, but they really did try, I was too shy as a kid and told them no. Whatever.

Understand is the wrong word for this context, the word you're thinking of is "care". Sheesh, for a self-proclaimed genius you're pretty stupid.
>>
yeap. was pretty weird and cool... it was like they discovered we were mutants in x-men. in 2nd grade was taken out of class from the regs and brought to a way more fun class with one other student to do cool iq tests and games.

i'm really smart... in a way.
>>
No.

I was the kid that never stood out. The kid that had a handfull of friends that he made in his first year and stuck with throughout his schoollife. The kid that always managed to get decent grades, but not that high to be considered one of the smart kids. The kid that was ok in sports and could hit a softball decently, but never the fastest, strongest or best in any other way. The kid that was good to work with in groups, the one that finished his part on time and helped the rest, but that did not had any great idea's. The kid that was never bullied, but also never stood up for others who were getting bullied.
The kid that always got an invite to a party, but never became the centre of attention.

Get the point?

I was in all gifted, honors, and AP classes.

And then I didn't go to college.

No, but I did get out of my shitty regular public school and got to go to a vocational school.

It really isn't that different. I was a lot closer to my classmates than before I was "discovered" though, because we had something in common. Plus we all went to the same high school so that was cool.

180 I.Q., here, you are arrogant and a disappointment. You could probably solve one medium-sized problem, if you applied your averagely-above-average intelligence.

Someone with an IQ over the current measurable maximum wouldn't be able to solve most of the world's problems.

Yes. Not that I was ever the smartest in my school. But I showed up and did my homework, which put me ahead of 80% of my classmates automatically.

I graduated from college with a 3.6 GPA and got a bachelor's degree in physics.

But then I dropped out of graduate school because it made me suicidal, and now I don't have a job. So there's that.

The only "TAG" (talented and gifted, pfft) student I ever knew ended up being a bitch of the highest order. Disagree on anything? Get ready for a 20 minute shouting match. I remember her arguing with the teacher in the 4th grade and the teacher blew a fucking gasket and screamed "GET OUT, JUST GET OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM RIGHT NOW."

She had 0 real friends, no love life, no social life. She became valedictorian so she could follow in her dad's footsteps and take his job when he dies.

She's a sad individual. I actually pity her.
>>
I was.

In fact, I still am

spent my 2 last years of High school in a depression, pretty much never doing anything school related and and playing vidya, and I still got out easy with top of the line results

College and shit didn't change, wouldn't it be I'm not depressive anymore

Being at a shitty inner city ghetto school it was a cakewalk to get into any sort of advanced classes. I wouldn't even call them that, they were pretty much just normal classes with mostly white kids. I absolutely never tried and made it into every Advanced/AP class. It was an awful school, more of a circus really.

Not saying I'm smart, just trying to give reference to how poor and dumb my school was.

Yes.

Nothing came out of anybody that was in that program though.

Such is talk of low intelligence. True genius knows that everything is possible but it's just better to play vidya all day.

I just remembered I was put ahead into a 5th grade reading class while I was in the third grade, I remember being so nervous because all the other kids were like twice my size. I was such a cutie!

170 IQ, and look what it made of me. Nothing.

I had all the teachers and my parents telling me how smart i was, and everytime i got bullied it was 'They're just jealous of you!'. Basically it ended up with me thinking i was secretly better than everyone else and not trying in school because i got decent grades without effort. In the end ofcourse i got shitty test scores because i didn't try while the people who i was convinced were ' worse' than me were getting As and going somewhere while i wondered what the fuck was going on since i was so 'smart'.

I kind of wish the people in my life who i respected were just honest with me and told me 'Yea, you're kind of crap right now, but you work hard and you can make it'. I didn't have a dad around and i don't think moms ever want to be really honest about things, or maybe moms genuinely think you're the best thing since sliced bread.

ITT: Yeah I'm totally gifted, or I was, but then I didn't give enough fucks so now I hate myself.

Hell no. I'm actually quite dumb and really slow.

Thought about taking an IQ test but I can't be assed to sit through all these questions.

>grow up with everyone thinking I'm going places in life
>the only place I went was jail

Not even in college, no future job prospectives, never had any work experience and most of my money goes to cigarettes. Such is my life.
>>
>implying IQ measures intelligence
>>
Yeah.

I was bullied in middle school and I lost all my motivation because I had no friends and I didn't really start trying until the end of high school. I got into college, but I flunked out the first semester because I just spent all my time playing World of Warcraft.

I attended community college for a few years until I was able to a state university. Now I'm an electrical engineering student with a 3.5 GPA. I feel like I've wasted a lot of time.

Yeah I was as well as my two best friends. I stayed the path to and today I'm holding a 3.8 gpa in college while going for my bachelors in mechanical engineering.

Today, my two best friends are doing chemical and biomedical engineering. It's hilarious to see the three of us try to apply our knowledge to one problem.

I took an "official" test on a computer in third grade and it put me at a 9th grade reading level. Everyone else stayed at their level and the second highest was 6th grade. I'm still at awe at how retarded 3rd graders and 9th graders are.

I had that reputation, even though I had all kinds of grades, mostly average though. Got voted third in a yearbook poll for smartest student, even. There were a couple 'traditionally gifted' kids who hung out together and were generally shunned by the jocks and assorted types and vice versa, but I was also part of their group. I kind of blended in with whatever clique was present at the moment and could contribute to all discussions, so I guess I was sort of a social butterfly.

"Especially talented" in school, and ended up with one of the the highest averages for my high-school, which I pretty much drank my way through. And you know what?

I will always live in the shitty piss-sea of averageness like most people in this thread. Like all the other "smart kids" I'll eat, shit, and piss my way through a mostly normal life. Only 0,1% ever achieve something truly great.
