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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the \u003ci\u003eTechnical and Administration Manual\u003c\/i\u003e only.
