    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.
    Oh, I've always thought it was the other way around. (I mean, given Leonardo Da Vinci is considered a "genius" since he excels in a lot of areas) =D

    Well, according to those definitions, I guess I'm a genius (? Can't really tell, tbh). I'm good at Math, History, and any subject that requires more thinking and less memorization (That means Science). I'm also pretty artistic and musical, being right-brained and all (I'm left-handed).
    But I can't really tell. Since it's "multiple" areas, I guess, "by definition", I'm supposed to be "gifted". But, tbh, my interest lies more on my artistic side (since school doesn't interest me, at the moment.).

    Although, I know of one person who is definitely gifted. I guess you can say she's someone I can consider a "renaissance man".
