.. or talented.
Both my boys are very good some aspects of school work. one of them has an excellent memory and the other can work out complex mathematical things without having the usual explanations first. He always gets the right answer, but very often, he is unable to describe the process by which he got there.
i think most people would say that my boys are highly able or intelligent, but they aren't gifted (or talented). They can't sing or make a musical instrument play beautiful music, they can't draw or paint, and I seriously doubt that either of them will ever make a scientific breakthrough, write a classic novel or prove a mathematical hypothesis.
To me G&T is a misnomer, and its actually an unfortunate label for a child to accept for themselves.
