Traditionally, children described as gifted have an intelligence quotient (IQ) in the very superior range of intelligence. This means their thinking and reasoning skills are well above their same-aged peers.
To be classified as gifted, most education departments require children to have an IQ score at or above 130 on a standardised test administered by a psychologist. However, a child can be classified as being mildly gifted with an IQ score of 115–129[1].
Children with an IQ between 120 to about 135 comprise the largest cohort of gifted children. These children are usually popular among their peers, demonstrate leadership and have a good social and emotional profile.
Children who have an IQ at or above 145 are highly gifted with advanced cognitive abilities, higher speeds in mental processing and heightened sensitivities and awareness of issues. This may put them more ‘at risk’ socially and emotionally than their same-aged peers. These very bright children may require more thoughtful parenting and teaching and additional psychological intervention to help ensure their optimal development and emotional wellbeing throughout their schooling.
