Since there are so many very-high IQed people here on the Dis, I wonder how many TRULY gifted Disers there are. Were you one of those very gifted children we've seen on the news that went to college before you were 12 years old?
I had to wait until 17. However, I did date a guy who graduated from college at age 15! (he was one of those prodigies!)
12? Oh dear, I was already retired by 12.![]()
Nah- not 12 for me.
I was spanked.
And I'm a winter baby.
I just never had a shot.

I bet your parents re-used their resort mugs and pool hopped too...
Kids that go to college before 12 are not "gifted" they are prodigies. That is an entirely different level and a 160 IQ certainly isn't anywhere near prodigy level.
Not me, but I know someone who I bet will go super early. He was in my class where I teach preschool. At age 2 he was reading chapter books and working fractions. Truly amazing. His grandfather and father are both MENSA members.
