Identifying Young Gifted Children Using the Gifted Rating Scales Preschool/Kindergarten Form
Pfeiffer, Steven I.; Petscher, Yaacov
Gifted Child Quarterly, v52 n1 p19-29 2008
This article reports on an analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of a new teacher rating scale designed to assist in the identification of gifted preschool and kindergarten students. The Gifted Rating Scales-Preschool/Kindergarten Form (GRS-P) is based on a multidimensional model of giftedness. An examination of the standardization sample using diagnostic efficiency statistics provides support for the diagnostic accuracy of the GRS-P Intellectual Ability and Academic Ability scales identifying intellectual giftedness, irrespective of the IQ cut score used to demarcate giftedness. The present findings extend the analysis of the standardization sample reported in the test manual and provide additional support for the GRS-P as a gifted screening tool. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
