Stereotype myth- the gifted child is different
or "odd"
Fact- Studies indicate that gifted students are highly stable. In fact, teachers have
often times failed to identify gifted individuals because they seem so "normal".
For example, Christopher Michael Langan is said to be the smartest man in
America. Can you guess his occupation? He's a bouncer at a night club.
He is mentioned in the book Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt
Chris's IQ is 195, which is the highest that has ever been recorded. He has
intellectual giftedness.
