Is she gifted?

Hi all,
My youngest daughter is unusualy bright and still very curious at 12 years old, so I took her to the doctors and they gave her an IQ test, all I was told about it was that she has an IQ of 131. I dont know what this means as I was given no scale or any other information.
She is acheiving level 6A's in English, Math, Science and French and is always asking questions or making comments on things; 'I dont think the prime minister should have done that, maybe this would have worked better...' ect, and I mean it isn't just gabber, she reay does have a point about the things she says.
Whenever I ask her about school she says 'Boring, the usual' and goes to her room to read something or go on the internet. She doesn't seem to have many friends, though she isn't unpopular, My elder daughters seem to pick on her an unusual amount.
Has anyone had a similar problem or knows why she might be behaving this way?

Thank you for reading

Why not have the school test her to see if she's eligible for the gifted program?

Well, I would encourage her to try and take the test to at least see what her skills are...and if she doesn't want to join the gifted program after that, then fine, don't force her. If she's getting good grades and she's bored, she'll adjust better in the gifted program where students are intellectual as she is and school is more challenging.

My daughter is in the gifted program ( in kindergarten currently) and they just tested her IQ, so i have the scale for IQ charting... 100-114 is normal, 115-130 is above average,(where most gifted are) and 131+ is superior. I would look into getting her into the gifted classes. SHe need intillectual stimulation and being bored with work that is too easy is just going to make her hate school cuz she wont have a reason to go because she isnt really learning anything. Good Luck

bushg agrees: good advice, your right about the daughter needing to be in classes that will challenge her.
