Quite a few of them. But whether they are gifted or not is not so important. The main thing is that they live a happy fulfilling life and perhaps make a positive contribution to society.

None of my children scored full marks. Might not be gifted but sure are special to the parents.

Even a child suffering from down syndrome can be a gifted child in his/her own way. I read of one such boy here who is gifted in painting. We may be gifted but if it is of no use if we misue/abuse our gifts.
