Topic Ended Go Away!

Does conceited come in those lists?

Does conceited come in those lists?

Can't tell.Left the magazine in my grandpa's house.But,it might.

I dont know about the stick figure thing, the phrases thing, and kind of the stubborn thing, but the rest fit me. I know I'm not special but I want to be way diffrent from everyone else.

I could write and read at the age of 5, but I'm still a dumbass... -.-

Is this some kind of post where you brag about your "special" talents that almost everyone with common sense will achieve with just a bit of practice?

If so, keep going.

(Just a small word of advice, if you are "overgifted" at least learn how to type properly. Thanks.)

The reason it will fit you is because they are such broad topic that they can fit almost any one. It is like horoscopes. Any ways there are a lot of gifted children out there, I was accepted into the gifted school but didn't go because I didn't want to leave my friends.

uh, maybe. i can't really tell though. i just try to be nice to everyone and just...live O_o

what how come drawin stick men tell that the child is gifted

Drawing stick people clearly - achieved at age 1.5
Writing clear phrases - Age 4
Writing speeches/short stories - Age 6

Really, those magazines are just written to make people feel good about themselves - "OMFG! I have an "overgifted" child! I'm tho speshal!"

Speaking of which:
Completed 7th form - age 16.
Accepted into International Chemical Olympiad training group - age 16.

And so on.

I scored a 98 on a Gifted Program test in like 3rd grade... I got the last question right, and it was ****ing confusing. >>

So..I'm not a freak?
That's a relief :).We are all freaks!I could probably have better grammar but i'm not english,didn't have any classes while i was smaller and i learned my english from video games.
And no,i don't want to expose i'm a "omfg genious i'm gifted".I felt realy confused and i knew people at ONRPG would be as equal as myself.So,i'm glad i read you're comments.I don't feel as bad.

Lol same here.. and it was too far away. >.>

Remember magazines and the media just like to make you feel a special way. Draw stick people? What the heck, anyone can.

I have an IQ of 182, but I put in zero effort in everything I do.. so I suck. xD

Rock on.No studying,no reading,good grades.

<3.

No study whatsoever, and I got top of the school.

So either my school sucks, or I am absolutely freakin' awesome.

I reckon it's the latter.

I believe that it's not the amount of brains you have, but how much effort you put into things. For example, just because you have an IQ of over 200 doesn't mean you're better then others. I believe that it's the amount of dedication you give forth.

You can go against me beliefs, but I think that IQ tests are stupid. Frankly, I don't care how smart someone is. Just because they have better brain power then others doesn't mean that they are better. With all these 'gifted and talented' programs, those who aren't in them might feel that they're stupid. But their not...

the human brain is a big mystery, but I believe anyone could do whatever they want if they put their mind to it. When it comes down to things, your memory, your 'smartness' and everything else is all controlled by your brain. If we could have better control over it then we do nowadays, why, everyone could be geniuses.

Rock on.No studying,no reading,good grades.

<3.

Peace Man.. xD I got accepted for IB with an 84% average today. LOL. It's this program that's international for really really smart people, they have it all over the world.. if you look you'd find one in your city.. very likely.

Watch me fail in it.. =D

-Happy go-lucky ...whats that
-Good sense of humour ... sometimes
-Mature for his age ....erm no im 14 and act like a 2 year old on steroids

-Asks too much of himself and others around him/her dunno the meaning
-Hard to be pleased. yep ive never had any TRUE happiness
-Very stubborn and everything that can not be seen by his/her eyes is a rejected idea... ..yep

but i aint overgifted ima complete retard

Amen to that, man. It doesn't matter how naturally gifted you are, if you don't put any effort into what you do, the average Joe is going to surpass you in anything.

Lol that's what I'm saying.. I know I'm smart. Haha I'm not being vain about myself, it's the fact.. I just don't care about anything.. and when it comes to trying hard. I just don't do it. But I've got a good brain and talk my way out of EVERYTHING.

I know a friend that's a complete retard... but she puts 100% into everything she does. Her result is not always the greatest, but she gets everything done to her best. When it comes to explaining for a presentation, she doesn't have to stand up there and BS (which is what I do) she just says what she really thinks.

I think, that I would drop all my intelligence, for an attitude like that.

I dub this thread the tooting your own horn for cocky bastards thread.

The IQ test is only one of many means of quantifying intelligence. Noone expects it to be perfect, nor completely accurate in terms of predicting success. When you're dealing with an entire population, there have to be standardized measures of organization (SATs, IQ tests...) because it's practically impossible to truly put every individual in perfect perspective. The IQ test was originally invented, after all, to differentiate between the "dull" and the "bright" students in the French school system. It does, however, have a bad tendancy to go to a person's head.

the human brain is a big mystery, but I believe anyone could do whatever they want if they put their mind to it. When it comes down to things, your memory, your 'smartness' and everything else is all controlled by your brain. If we could have better control over it then we do nowadays, why, everyone could be geniuses.

That's an admirably humanistic view, but 'smartness' is less controlled by the brain than the brain is controlled by 'smartness'.

Efforts to quantify intelligence have both helped put the capabilities and potential of the human mind in perspective but have also given people opportunities to show off just how very "intelligent" they are. Of course, intelligence is completely relative depending on what you're looking for in a person.

The annoying thing is when people judge their own capabilities. Inherently, we are biased for or against ourselves. As Lothia said, categorizations are frequently broad or ambiguous.

And I've heard of "gifted child", but where the hell does "OVERgifted child" come from? Is there something excessive about being gifted?

man i thought this thread was about some child getting some hyper crazy present from their parents..zz.. or something.

anyways im a person whose lazy and play games alot but im not a dumbarse. XD

Sign me up for "freak of nature" too, all of those fit me :X

Man, if I could still give rep, Simon F. would have so gotten it.

Anyway, Lothia is right. Those attributes are incredibly broad, so they can fit everyone to a certain extent.

I think I am one of those "overgifted" children.Im even in Talented and Gifted and wtf... they don't make you go there all the time I only go on Tuesdays and thats all."Leaving your friends" because you have to go to talented and gifted.You leave them for a day...Im asian thats why xD!!Good grades etc its all me.

Psshh... I could read and write at the age of 3/4. Lothia is right, its like horoscopes and fortune tellars, they give very broad comments which can fit just about everybody.

Why don't i just scan in my MSE test, then we'll see who'sthe gifted one!

So,i went over to my grandpa's house.I was so bored since nothing was on T.V,i started to read a magazine.
Oh,look!Pamela has big boobs!But then,at the turning of the page i see a title saying:
"Overgifted children" and it showed this "overgifted" girl.

So i start reading.At the age of 2,this girl made stick people,perfectly clearly.At the age of 6,she could write entire phrases!So,i remembered my mom once told me i could make stick people at the age of 2 or 3.I got kind of this weird sensation..You know,like i'm a freak of Nature!I kept reading and each thing i read perfectly fit me...

-Happy go-lucky
-Good sense of humour
-Mature for his age (Sometimes,i can be quite a 4 year child tough)
And the list goes on...

And the negative effects also fit me!

-Asks too much of himself and others around him/her
-Hard to be pleased.
-Very stubborn and everything that can not be seen by his/her eyes is a rejected idea...
List also goes on.

The more i read,the more it kept fitting me!Perfect domain in foreign languages,good grades...

From this i've concluded i'm a "overgifted" child...I feel like i'm a freak of nature...A mutant brain and a buffed up inteligence...
It has it's good sides..Atleast i can say i'm smarter than someone else :p .

Congrats, you just labeled yourself as "gifted" because you fit a wide array of non-specific bullshit. You, and every other child on the planet, will fit this profile to a certain degree.

Sw00t, I repeated everything that was already said! Reading is for quitters, kids.

Man, if I could still give rep, Simon F. would have so gotten it.

I completely agree, so I gave him some!

Say, what's the title of that magazine? I think I read that before...Anyways, I have a batchmate that is the valedictorian of my school...not some nerd, he's a freaking rocker! I just went to his house one day then I come up to his freaking room, god damn, its full of goth posters! His hair's long, uses weed, smokes, drinks alot, yet TOP 1 of my school...Not only that, he's not freaking studying either!!! Now that, I consider a gifted child.

I just wanted to say thank you for joining onrpg. You truly deserved all the reputation you've received; and even more. I've been reading a lot of your posts, and I can only hope that you post more and more because everyone can learn a lot from your posts.

Thank you...

Lol, judging by your grammar and spellings (And don't say "I was typing too quickly" or some BS like that, because You must've repeated the same mistake close to 50 times, in one case) you sir, are not gifted.

Anyways, being gifted can mean many different things. For example; you could be very good at music and understanding the compositions at a young age, but suck at learning languages.

I myself, am good at mathematics, but my spoken tongue isn't great (I get my words mixed up sometimes). But although my spoken tongue isn't well, my English writing is excellent. My work has been published several times as debate articles, poems and stories.

Some people are born with it, some people develop it.

And for those of you who feel intimidated because their personality doesn't match the 'Guide' that Darc provided, God wraps gifts in different packaging ;)

Does conceited come in those lists?
XD

OP:
Don't take the article too seriously. Scientific studies, especially those relating to anything psychological (as appears to be the case here)... are often extremely inaccurate, silly things. The whole affair is just almost completely flawed.

I consider you a assface.
It's true i'm not the best typer.Because?

I'M NOT ENGLISH!MY NATIVE TONGUE IS PORTUGUESE AND I MAKE A GREAT EFFORT TO TYPE WITHOUT SPELLING MISTAKES.

If that's so...From now on,i won't do any more effort.

Lol hey i dont know bout you but i like banna cake Lol i know this guide isnt accurate but hey it was just a coment rofl

But i can't resist.
From now on,you are ignored and i suggest everyone does so.And even if you win this argument;
Winning in a argument in the internet is like winning the parolympics-Even if you win,you're still RETARDED.

The reason i like most of the members here is that they comment like Aru.Nicely and direct.
Aru gets my prize as the best PS3 Fan,after that topic he made were he didn't run around flaming the wii but on the contrary,also giving some direct hits to the PS3.
And yeah,it's true.It's not accurate.I just found it kind of weird.

Man, if I could still give rep, Simon F. would have so gotten it.

I completely agree, so I gave him some!

Y'know, I was gonna say "10 rep and still kicking!" but I guess I can't any more. :D Thanks for the support!

You're awfully nice, I'm sorry to have sounded harsh. I think we were more or less going at the same thing but addressing it differently.

I am terribly sorry moderators but it had to be said.Hope you forgive and understand me.

The thing is, though, that really wasn't necessary. People are prone to put eachother down and frankly, if you think you're any better for responding in an even more tactless manner, I suggest you rethink your position. Atom could have been more diplomatic, but that certainly doesn't give you the right to lash out.

Yes... this "Simon F." character seems to kick ***.

Keep in mind that something as subjective and qualitative as intelligence is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to accurately assess according to a few attributes listed in a random magazine you picked up. Now, if the magazine was a well-respected scientific journal, I might think twice. But then, few (if any) scientific journals feature Pamela Anderson, so I think that this wasn't the case this time around.

Also, your retort to Atom's post strikes me as extremely immature and childish. You aren't instantly cool on the Intarweb because you ripped on some random guy with insults you taken from image macros or 4chan or wherever. Remember, just because you're on the Internet doesn't mean you should be a dick to someone, even if they were mean to you first.

News flash: You're not gifted.

You could make a stickman at age 2 , pat yourself on the back.

I think my brother could draw a perfect Megaman at the age of 3... Lawl... I hate his ***...

Anyway. No one here is gifted.

Otherwise we'd have something better to do with our lifes other than stay on this forum and become addicted to MMO games.

Even the smartest of people need some time out to relax - and due mainly to our social ineptitude, forums are one of the best ways to do that.

I'd argue that it's the people that start the arguments that generally fall into that category, but hey, that's just me.

Can't tell.Left the magazine in my grandpa's house.But,it might.

this shows your cunning intelligence quite clearly. I used to be like "you," though i doubt a magazine test is very reliable. Yeah, i went to enrichment math in grade four. whoopee. It was actually pretty cool, I had a friend in it, but somehow I feel like I've grown steadily dumber. according to modern science, You slowly lose the capability to learn as you get older, hence small children's ability to learn much of the English language in a single year, but adults spending years learning how to speak another language. Perhaps the most hateful part is that I can almost feel my ability being locked away, i can no longer grasp any math concept in a moment, I no longer have a hugely above average vocabulary, the only thing giving me the illusion of brilliant is my knowledge of trivia; I whip out facts that are completely obscure, and can scramble words easily in my head, giving me a gift with word puzzles (except word searches) The only class I excel at only requires a high interest level. I've become average, and I am mind numbingly depressed at times because of this. yes, I am a conceited bastard.

First off, to Darc,

“Ego has a voracious appetite, the more you feed it, the hungrier it gets.”

--------------------------------------------------

I'm going to purely speak my mind here. If you take offence, in any way shape or form, I really wont care, it's my view, and you should be willing to take in input. That being said, those who see themselves to be "gifted," are. To the modern extent, I see everyone to be gifted in one form or another. One of the greater points to this effect is a quote by Ethel Waters," We are all gifted. That is our inheritance." To that idea, we all have our gifts, granted to us from how we are raised, our birth, and other life altering things; so in essence, et cetera. Those who see themselves to be more then gifted, if humanly possible, are nothing more then individuals with an ego possibly larger then the state of texas. You took a test, one that wasn't carefully selected or "brilliantly designed," you just took a basic test to keep you reading the particular magazine/newspaper and be more interested in what they had to say. The modern individual can "pass" (if their childhood grants them the supposed pass) that test, and if they don't, it really proves to no affect other then the fact that they may be one year ahead of everyone else at building pointless and nugatory stickfigures. Great, that child made a stickfigure at age two; where does it say that he's a genius, if anything he'd be one year assisted towards being an artist.

One more thing to add, who are they to depict who and what a genius is?
