Internal Structure of DISCOVER: A Performance-based Assessment.
Sarouphim, Ketty M.
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v23 n3 p314-27 Spr 2000
A study involving 257 Navajo and Mexican-American elementary students investigated the internal structure of the DISCOVER assessment, a performance-based assessment grounded in Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence. Results showed low interrating correlations among the five assessment activities, indicating students gifted in one intelligence were not necessarily gifted in others.
