How do you judge wether or not someone is a "prodigy" or not?

Good question, I`d like to know that answer too!

I think that if you think that your talented in something and are passionate in something like music fro example well your not really faking anything, and if you don`t let people tell that you can`t do something well i feel that your well on the way!

Its if they are very smart at something, like if you can give someone any piece of easy or hard music and they can play it with ease and make zero mistakes then that person is a prodigy.

A prodigy is someone who is born with a certain talent that they just have, it`s not obtained through practise. It doesn`t have to be a musical skill but they`re the ones we usually hear about. I don`t know any prodigies as they`re VERY rare, but apparently they can just sit at the piano (for example) and play pretty much anything straight away. It sounds kind of hard to believe; you`d think they wouldn`t have the dexterity and coordination etc. required to do it, but they do exist.

Mozart being a prime example; he was composing by the age of six.

You can tell that you are a musical prodigy if you are able to look at music and play it without practicing; being able to do this within about 3 months of starting to learn piano.

The dictionary says that a prodigy is a person with exceptional talent. Marvel- a cause of suprise admiration, or wonder.

I don`t think thats enough info. Everytime I see a person that people call a prodigy, they are always so calm ans open-minded. They seem to have no worries in their lives and always have time to study with zero distraction being able to soak up all the information and decipher the meaning of what ever they are reading. Albert Einstein was a prodigy, he knew how all math worked by the age of 12. He was so smart at math at that age that he made new equations that teachers and mathematicians haven`t even thought of yet. He graduated from high school at a very late age like 21 or 22 from being bad at grammar because he was too busy at making inventions and solving hard equations that was way above everyone elses head. He knew how everything worked, like; space, time, the atom, you name it.
