How can I convince my parents to let me take the gifted test?

I think it will really be helpful. Many people/doctors/teachers say I'm gifted and so do my parents, but they think testing to prove giftedness is bogus. The reason why I want to take it is because I have always had behavioral problems in school due to being bored and being 'too creative' in class. Art is my passion but the art electives in/outside school aren't challenging and won't let me be free in terms of ideas. I am a strictly visual learner so I have problems following directions even though I am intelligent. I just want a chance to meet more people I can relate to and not be judged negatively for not fitting in. I go to a private school, by the way. How can I convince my parent do let me do this?

From what I have read, you seem very stupid.
"... say I'm gifted and so do my parents" - everyone does this to everybody. Don't believe it.
"behavioral problems ... such as being bored" - like you're the only one whose bored - everyone is bored, you just shouldn't express it.
"strictly visual learner" is nothing more than an excuse.
"i am intelligent" - intelligent people don' say things like this to themselves.

Work hard and you'll be fine. Stop thinking that you are gifted or that there are gifted people.

Maybe you realized why your parents don't want you to take the test now?
