The idea
Gifted and talented students were traditionally identified by an IQ of 130 or above; the concept has broadened to include exceptional talents in specific areas.
In practice
A student with an average IQ but outstanding musical talent may qualify for talent programs.
Where people slip
Gifted students are not typically socially awkward, which is a myth, but they may grow bored without challenge.
