Two tests

From the two tests that we took, I learned that I am very different than I thought.  For instance, in the Anthony Gregorc test, I was Concrete sequential which totally shocked me because concrete sequential are people who are ordered, structured, practical, and organized.  How they do it is by checklists and outlines and charts and etc.  For the Gardner test I was a Logical-Mathematical person.  It means that I like to think by reasoning.  I love experimenting.  Need things to explore, science materials, manipulative, and etc.

Three people I admire are My dad, mom, and brother.  My dad I think is another Logical-Mathematical person because he likes to experiment with things.  My mom I think would be a linguistic and a logical- mathematical combined.  I think that because my mom just fits into both.  My brother is a Bodily-Kinesthetic person because he likes to work hands-on and he likes to play sports and run.

There is a lot to take from these tests about yourselves and I learned more about myself here than anywhere before.

The ups and downs of being gifted...

If your gifted you are smart in a way.  When you are gifted, you get advanced classes, which is a good thing because then you get to make other people look stupid.  Another up to being gifted is that you are different from normal people.  You get to be special in a way.  We also get to see things differently.  Being gifted also helps you when you get to college.  To be gifted is to be special because only 10 percent are gifted.  There a lot of ups to being gifted.
There are downs to being gifted also.  If you are gifted, you have a bigger chance of being bullied.  Bullies always pick on the nerds.  Also the columbus group say's that if you are gifted then you are vulnerable.  Most gifted people have asynchronized development.  Being an asynchronized developer is bad because then we won't have all our maturity at one level.  Thats bad because then you won't be equal.  Also you have lots of higher expectations.  Higher expectations are bad because everyones wants you to do good all the time.

Myths and Truths...

Some Myths about being gifted is that you get straight A's all the time.  The truth about that is that people dont always get A's.  Another Myth is that gifted kids know everything.  A thruth is that gifted people are smart but they dont know everything.  We are good is a huge myth.  People that are gifted can be very bad.  People say gifted people are nice. Most of the time I am kind but lots of times im not kind.

Those are the ups and downs and myths and thruths of being gifted.
