The first four scales (learning, creativity, motivation, and leadership) are used by most schools that use the \u003ci\u003eScales\u003c\/i\u003e. The remaining 10 scales are focused on specific areas. They are used by schools when those areas seem appropriate for a gifted program's goals. For example, a program serving gifted math students would use the mathematics scale, a science academy would use the science scale, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResearch shows that gifted children tend to exhibit certain observable behaviors, such as using advanced vocabulary, grasping underlying principles, and making generalizations from complex information. The \u003ci\u003eRenzulli Scales\u003c\/i\u003e asks teachers to rate children in comparison to their peers on a host of these observable behaviors. The children who score high on the scales are more likely to be gifted. Using a tool like the \u003ci\u003eScales\u003c\/i\u003e, a school can narrow the number of students who will be fully evaluated for a gifted program. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe items were chosen from a comprehensive body of research concerning the characteristics of gifted students. Based on a multiple talent approach to the identification of gifted students, the scales help identify student strengths. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the \u003ci\u003eTechnical and Administration Manual\u003c\/i\u003e only.
