These IQ tests are hugely flawed. First of all- multiple choice questions limits ones abilities to choose the correct answer when someone is able to see the question from multiple perspective in different scenarios where the answer will vary. In particular when there are short one liner sentences without enough context. Secondly- vocabulary is developed through engagement and the environment, and so if a gifted child is given the right conditions to develop their vocabulary then yes that could be a sign your child is gifted but then there's also the case of what happens if a gifted child is born into an environment that is not conducive to developing their verbal abilities. For example when parents leave the child to their own device majority of the time and do not engage with them-socially- on a regular basis.

@bridalmehandi The third was chewing gum as it increases flow of oxygen to the brain. This increased oxygenation can help improve attention, memory, and overall cognitive function. You can watch the short here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1sZCSZF9qf4.html
@hannahscott6604 IQ tests are not entirely accurate in measuring one's abilities. Research has shown that IQ scores may not fully capture an individual's intelligence or potential. For instance, a large study found that IQ tests might not accurately reflect a person's cognitive abilities. It's important to remember that intelligence is multifaceted and can't be fully measured by a single test.

How to know or who diagnose 2e? My son 4yo on waiting list for autism assessment, he's verbal but not conversational. but he can read since 2,5yo, have strong memorizing and can count to a thousand and writing numbers and some words. I really lost, he's my first child 😢
Speak with your child’s main teacher and school counselor. My child got identified in second grade. Twice exceptional and ADHD while working together with his doctor. I was very worried that he still couldn’t write and was about 2 grades behind, but excelled highly in math. Now in school, he’s a straight A’s student. Work with your school first! Good luck.
2:58 Why do you ask how to test into Mensa at a young age without establishing *why* a parent would want that? Or is this meant for parents that are so neurotically competitive that such questions never arrise - if there's a test with a cutoff, my child *must* get in!!!
Testing for and labeling "giftedness" is nothing but a curse to the children who are its victims. Sorting humans into categories is seldom beneficial to the humans involved.
@annai157 Recognizing "giftedness" isn't about sorting or labeling superiority. It's about understanding unique educational needs. Gifted children, like those with other special needs, benefit from tailored challenges to reach their full potential and connect with like-minded peers. It's about inclusivity and providing all kids with opportunities to thrive.
@@IngeniousBaby My concern has nothing to do with "superiority" - I'm from a family full of gifted people. I get it. I've seen *nothing* but harm caused by the labeling process, though. Children need to have their needs met individually and personally - not by being sorted into boxes or bins. And, finding "like minded" people has little to do with intelligence. If two people both love mystery novels or classical music or astronomy or anime - they can enjoy those interests with friends with a broad range of academic abilities. Grouping people by intelligence has almost nothing to do with grouping people by interests.
Spot on! Recognizing giftedness is about understanding unique educational needs, tailoring challenges for growth, and fostering inclusivity for all children to thrive. Well said!
Excellent video. Just diagnosed now, and I'm 55, with autism and "giftedness" (146 IQ). I was a very introvert child and bullied by my teacher when I was 5 to 6. Bullied again at 13-14, and by my bosses as an adult. I was the best at drawing and writing, and very good when I studied fashion design. I have worked as an illustrator and a designer, but as I am divorced with two childs, I need money. In Spain, creativity means NOTHING unless you are famous. I struggle with mental health, sensory issues, melt downs and shut downs. I ended up working in a shop and earning only 1.000€/ month. And now I discover that I'm very gifted. Oh, yes. Look at me. 😔
I tested as profoundly gifted in kindergarten. After a lifetime enduring hatred, alienation, and jealousy (with no help or support,) now I mostly just want to die. 56 years of this hell is enough.
I'm deeply sorry to hear of your struggles. It's important to know you're not alone and support is available. Please consider reaching out to a mental health professional or a helpline for the care you deserve. Your experiences matter, and there are people ready to help you through this.
Is there anyone I can email with more questions? My son underwent testing done by a private psychologist. My son was 5 & tested and IQ level of 143. I have had trouble finding resources for my boy, and we are in need of help!
sure! You can email me if you have questions: kelly@ingeniousbaby.com My son is also gifted and many great organizations to help such as the Davidson Institute
I was tested at 4 and branded "gifted," so they disregarded the autism. That was over 40 years ago, and I was just diagnosed last year. I never became anything but a disappointment. I have a hard time with the word gifted. Wish I could go back. I struggled my whole life. Guess I'm a late 2e.
This all makes sense especially when you step back and look at baby development as a whole. Offer a variety of sensory experiences to help your baby learn about their environment. Offer a variety of foods and textures to help your baby learn about food. Its almost common sense to offer your baby a variety of music to learn about music.
I rolled over 20 strikes in a row on a bar bowling machine. I thought I found my gift. Turns out I suck at bowling and never did anything like that again either on the original machine or anywhere else.
I wonder if bad or negative parenting can do harm to a child’s IQ. I know some people who had their adopted son tested when he was quite young, and were told he has a low IQ. But if you met him you probably wouldn’t know this unless you asked him to do a math problem maybe. The boy is 17 now and can operate any piece of heavy equipment like nobody’s business. He loves anything to do with trucks, cars and earth moving equipment. He’s also an amazing water skier and loves to dirt bike. But he is very behind in school. I just wonder if the it’s a good idea that they’ve let him know that he has a low IQ and they tell most everyone in their lives about it privately, including me, since he first got diagnosed. I wonder if that has affected him and made it more like a self fulfilling prophecy? He’s agonized over it and asked his mother why he was made this way? and why he can’t just be normal. It’s very heartbreaking and sad to me. One time I was with them and he told me he wanted to be an engineer someday. I got very excited for him because I thought and I told him, “I think that’s a great goal! I know you can do it if you want it bad enough.” But later his mother told me he had asked her if she thought he could do it? But she answered him “well, I don’t know.” She said he got very upset with her. She said she told him she wasn’t going to lie to him and tell him he can do whatever he wants when she doesn’t know if he can. But in my mind I was thinking “why not? What the do you have to lose?” I feel like if it were my child I would’ve never told him or anyone else in his life that he had a low IQ. Now he acts like there’s no point in even trying and his dad says he might have to live in a group home someday. I personally can’t imagine that for him. I feel he should at minimum be able to take care of himself eventually if he gets the proper guidance now? But I wonder if all this negative focus on his supposed IQ is hurting his chances? 😢
What he is saying about the breath is very true. The breath is a powerful tool that we have not been educated on. Here is a great resource if you want to learn more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V72L6RH3OD8.htmlsi=Sz_EtJghNkps8zNO
Not verbal skills. Vocabulary differences persist across a lifetime. And speaking earlier means meaningfully interacting earlier, which is good for brain development. You might be referring to school performance. There are more factors involved in that than just intelligence
Is this also true for multiple spoken languages? My multilingual baby is about 8 or 9 months ahead in his verbal skills and I wondered if it was all the languages
Exposure to multiple spoken languages has been linked to advanced verbal skills in babies. Research suggests that bilingual and multilingual infants readily distinguish between languages and display no confusion. Some studies also indicate that multilingualism may increase a child's IQ by up to 12 points, though individual results may vary. If you have further questions about multilingualism and its effects on verbal skills in babies, feel free to ask! I want to do a show on this soon.
@IngeniousBaby Thank you for the reply. I would love an episode on this. My little guy actually won't let me call him a baby anymore - he's 22 months. Another aspect of his language acquisition I find interesting is code switching. He is an excellent translator and immediately changes languages (he knows 3) if a new person who speaks a different language walks into the room. What I most worry about is how to help him not only to maintain an understanding of all three languages but also to continue to speak all three languages. I understand that most children stop speaking secondary languages as they get older, even though they may still understand them. I am also wondering how learning to read and write will translate between languages. I intend to teach him soon.
Most people are too busy partying or playing games to research or on social media. When I tried to tell people, I was given a weird look. So, it is what it is.
Hello...i am a professional and dedicated video editor. Saw your job requirement on upwork for "Seeking Video Editing Services for RU-vid Channel". I would like to work for you. Waiting for your reply. Have msg you on insta.
There’s no disability. If you force a square peg into a round hole without ever thinking to put it in a square hole, then the one dealing with the square peg is truly disabled
Please help me with my toddler! He 25 months now and he can read assignments and solve them I have a RU-vid channel where you can see his abilities. He could read numbers and letter at the age of 18 months now he know addition and some multiplication. We have NOT taught him any of this he just learns it all by himself! @melodyssurfplatta
hi Rick - this blew my mind. It’s right up the alley of your Nuryl Program. Really astounding results and rocket ship cognition, recall and muscle memory. Very very much like music in every aspect. You likely have seen this but it’s pretty awesome and worth turning your audience on to. Thanks for what you do. Take good care and make another Dylan video. Those rock hardest man. This abacus training is very similar. To Dylan’s, lightning, identification and decoding skills. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s6OmqXCsYt8.htmlsi=vnDYGWYgnc2eV2TO
@walkfly1 this is from my channel Ingenious Baby, I interview experts in different disciplines. Rick was a guest on my show. Feel free to check out my channel for other shows.
