Every child is different. A student does NOT necessarily need to have good grades to be gifted!

Signs of giftedness in teens may include:

• An ability to learn and process complex information rapidly

• Need for constant mental stimulation (this can present as argumentative behavior!)

• Independently pursuing subjects they find interesting in surprising depth

• Enthusiasm about unique interests and topics

• Ability to comprehend material several grade levels above their peers- not necessarily in all subject areas

• Surprising emotional depth, sensitivity, empathy, social and/or self awareness (gifted teens can be very intense, hard on themselves for making mistakes)

• Quirky or mature sense of humor, quick wit

• Creative, imaginative problem solving (not always positive- gifted students can sometimes be very creative in finding ways around rules)

• Quickly absorbs new information either independently or with very little repetition
