“Is my child gifted or bright?” is a question that every parent wants answered. Traditionally, IQ tests have been used to measure the giftedness of a child, but there are many other ways to identify giftedness. We’ve developed this short quiz to help you find the answer.

Please note that this is not an actual intelligence test. Contact a psychologist in your area to arrange for an accurate cognitive assessment of your child.

There are many definitions of giftedness. It isn’t hard to recognize children who are gifted in music, athletics, acting or the arts. Intellectual giftedness must be assessed and this is most often done through 1) an IQ Test administered by a psychologist combined with 2) parent observation of the qualities mentioned in our quiz and those listed below. Schools also designate children as “gifted” after they take a group intelligence test to qualify for a Gifted and Talented (G&T) or GATE program. Most schools with gifted programs will designate students as “gifted” and will admit them to the program if they test in the “very bright” or in the “gifted” range. Schools are not necessarily looking for profoundly gifted students for their programs.

Here are some other signs of giftedness in a child:

Excellent memory
Long attention span (if interested)
Sensitivity (in regard to feelings)
Perfectionist
Curiosity
Very energetic
Wide range of interests
Questions authority
Good at jigsaw puzzles
Shows compassion
Intense
Great sense of humor
Morally sensitive
