Test Rankings and Selection Procedures for Identifying Gifted Intermediate Elementary Children.

Doughty, Earl

This study attempts to determine the relative ranking value of information gathering devices that could be substituted for tests of mental maturity. Results indicate that the three best devices are: a standardized test of academic achievement, a test of personality, and a self-concept inventory, all of which are easily administered, scored, and interpreted.
