Some gifted children learn most effectively through non-auditory channels. Because these children do not learn effectively in a traditional classroom they often perform well below their mental age. Additionally, because they are gifted, they are intrinsically aware of their own lack of achievement (particularly in respect to other less gifted children). They are "turned off" school and are often disruptive in class or at home showing many of the characteristics of the gifted learning disabled. The frustration, inner conflict, boredom, lack of a suitable peers and fragile self-esteem of such children translates into unruly and unsettling behaviour.

A good question to start with. The word "gifted" has been defined
differently by different academics and practitioners and is often considered
by many to be an unfortunate term, but it has become generally associated
with a child whose potential in one or more areas of skill would place
him or her in the top 2-5% of children of the same age.

Often the earliest identification of gifted children takes place by simple
observation of the child's behaviour by an educational professional, a
parent or friend. Far from undermined by being subjective, identification
by characteristic traits is generally accurate, and is less intrusive
or conspicuous than other methods.

The Stanford Binet psychological intelligence assessment batteries have been released in different versions over time, with version V the current version. Each version tailors the set of questions asked in the assessment according to changes in general education, communication and culture. Each version is also renormed statistically against a large population so that the results of individual assessments can be statistically compared with a large up-to-date base population.

Until the release of the Stanford-Binet V, there was only one broadly recognised IQ test that can measure these
extreme ranges - the Stanford-Binet Form LM normed in 1972. The most commonly used IQ tests then available, the more recent Stanford-Binet IV
and the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children - III, and the Weschler
Adult Intelligence Scales all start to seriously break down somewhere
between IQ 130 and IQ 140 and fail completely around the 150 range.
