Genius vs. Gifted

[インフェルノの津波]

Know someone of the two, or are you one of two of both?

I get annoyed by the fact that some people confuse gifted with genius, just so so-and-so can do math well doesn't mean he has proper etiquette.

I'll explain. Gifted means you're a genius in multiple areas, whereas genius very few, the rest of your skills are pretty average.

 

[Aquacorde]

By your definitions I would say I am gifted. I am exceptionally skilled in math, science, writing, grammar, and spelling.

 

[Spinor]

I'm Gifted. I do Computer Programming, Calculus as a HS Freshman, Advanced English, Multiple Sciences, artistic curiosity, a lot of musical instruments, and the chugging of 7 litters of Coke in one day.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I'm just a genius. I'm pretty good at math and science.

 

[RYOUKI]

I guess Genius. I'm good at some, above average I guess, but the rest are all decent though.

 

[Eliminator Jr.]

I'm pretty average by your definitions. I'm good-ish at school and all that but I'm not genius good.

 

[Kanye West]

I am obviously gifted. I am the reason

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I am technically gifted, although that might be kind of mitigated by my lack of productivity. I'm the laziest person I know.

 

[Ficher]

I can be considered gifted, since I am excellent in math, physics, chemistry, writing, grammar..I also picked up a programming language in 3 months when it needed at least 10. Yet, I am always lazy.

 

[Dawn]

Pretty much everyone that isn't deliberately trying to annoy me calls me gifted. I don't really know if I am. I don't think about it much, and I honestly don't care that much. I have more important things to think about, like life.

 

[Ayselipera]

I'm not gifted or a genius. I can't say I have many or any talents at all. As far as I'm concerned all my skills are either average or below average or maybe I'm just being modest. I don't know.

 

[SoulAura]

I guess i'd be genius. I'm pretty good at english, science, and math. My best is english as it rated me accelerated on my achievement tests.

 

[→e l e c t r i c.p u r s u i t`]

I can surely say that I'm just a genious :P

 

[Serene Grace]

I would love to say that I'm a genius or gifted at this or that but I wont because I don't like labelling things. Also, the fact that I might be good at different aspects of things doesn't make me a gifted, it simply means that I listen in class and I absorb information well. I know I'm not a genuis, and I don't like using the term 'gifted'. I'm just me. I'm better with certain things than other people but that doesn't mean anything, in my eyes.

 

[Charizard★]

I'm a quick learner when it comes to sports. English and Science are simple to me, math is another story tho.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I'd say I'm a (mad) genius. Math is (was) my strong area, as well as knowledge on some obscure subjects (like the US hotel industry, for instance).

 

[ThatKidMike]

I'd say I'm gifted. Mostly because I'm me.

 

[Vulpes bicaudata]

I'll explain. Gifted means you're a genius in multiple areas, whereas genius very few, the rest of your skills are pretty average.

Well... that's not right. At least not according to standard definitions.

 

[Dawn]

Well... that's not right. At least not according to standard definitions.

You're correct. The OP is sort of wrong about the definition of genius but that's not really the point. I think it's fair to say we know what he's trying to say and can answer the question.

someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality; "Mozart was a child genius"; "he's smart but he's no Einstein"

 

[Master Bait]

Somewhat 50 50. Sometimes I'm genius/gifted at everything and sometimes not. Also I don't believe in OP's definitions he might be trolling.
