On being labelled as "gifted"

I have come to realize that many of my students seem to use few terms like "not a math person", "not a visual learner", "hands-on person" to compartmentalize their ways of learning in a classroom settings. I thought that it may be a good realization that a person is aware of what works for themselves and it might be helpful. I was reading this book "Beyond Intelligence" and read a contrary point of view and I document some instances that might be a result of using such labels.

1) Fear of confirming others beliefs : some children are afraid that they are not really as smart as others attribute them to be and spend time thinking that one day other will find out about it.

2) Doubting oneself: when "labelled as gifted" people as placed in another gifted group then they encounter a peer group with more competition and may loose self confidence.

3) May get less support: children with "gifted" as labels might not get sufficient learning support in an environment which considers them to be already capable of catching new things quickly.

4) may experience unrealistic expectations as they are labelled as "gifted"

5) It may lead to complacency and prevent a student from doing their best as they might over estimate their abilities and not put in sufficient effort.

6) People who are labeled as gifted may develop a feeling of superiority complex which reduces their patience and adjustment levels in a group. Such prejudices may lead to an arrogant behavior in future

7) Children, students who are labelled as gifted may experience ostracism from peers and might not get opportunities to develop strong friendships which are essential in an emotionally balanced growth.

8) It may create situations where a student is labeled as gifted in one area which might result in negligence on part of parents, teachers to recognize a person's abilities in other fields.

9) Abilities always change and depend on time and the surrounding environment. Having labeled as gifted need not be an absolute characteristic which is present through out the life time of a person.

10) Non uniformity of such labels need to be understood as "gifted" may mean differently to people in different geographical, difficult background people.
