Comments on an article by Françoys Gagné (see record 2004-22507-002) on the Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent (DMGT). We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Gagné's interesting paper. In a theory of such large scope, it is hard to know where to begin one's assessment. We have chosen to use Gagné's own criteria. At the close of his paper, Gagné lists four characteristics of the DMGT that make a very distinct and unique conception of giftedness and talent. We will respond to his first two characteristics. The first is that 'the DMGT stands alone in its clearly differentiated definitions of the field's two key concepts'. Although we agree that there has been confusion in how the field defines its terms, it is not clear to us how the distinction Gagné makes between natural abilities and systematically developed skills (of which gifts and talents are merely subsets) differs from the more commonly used labels of aptitude and achievement. Gagné's second criterion is that it is important to set prevalence estimates of giftedness and talent. Although setting the initial cut at 10 per cent seems completely arbitrary, the system of identifying many levels of giftedness has great potential value.

What is the aim of giftedness? Is the goal to narrow in on the gifts of a select few or to nurture everyone’s gifts such that they may be exchanged with each other? Drawing from creativity theory, we emphasize the possible interactive element of giftedness. Current paradigms risk ignoring hidden creativities and for potential to remain in the shadows. Is the promise of one possible eminent creator worth thousands of everyday creators? Do we need to make such a choice? By fostering perspective-taking and other collaborative skills, we may try to have it all. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: journal abstract)

Comments on Sternberg's article on WICS as a model for giftedness (see record 2004-10570-002). The current authors focus on how to avoid selecting the "Denny's" of the world, referring to to a former gifted student who seemed primed for success-but then committed suicide. They argue that gifted education programmes, and especially those for younger students, should focus on finding all students of high ability and helping them develop their talents. In doing so we also hope the number of Denny's in the world might be reduced-not by excluding them from gifted programmes, but by including them and better preparing them to deal both with the positive and negative consequences of giftedness.

In this response, we commend Sternberg’s Active Concerned Citizenship and Ethical Leadership (ACCEL) model yet urge him to consider an ACCEL-S model that more fully incorporates society’s integrative role in giftedness. ACCEL-S builds on the highly complex and contextual view of giftedness proposed by Sternberg and transforms it into a participatory framework. Within it, the skills associated with giftedness shape but are also shaped by social context; they generate meaningful forms of collaboration as well as grow out of them. The concept of giftedness itself is transformed from a person-centric one to a distributed model in which being gifted is a relational instead of purely personal achievement.

Despite nearly a century of research on IQ, tests of ability have changed little despite changes in our understanding of human abilities. This failure to evolve has particular implications for identification of gifted as well as creative children. A few recent tests challenge the Wechsler-Binet stronghold, among them the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS). The CAS is based on the PASS theory, which centers on Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, an Successive cognitive processes. The inclusion of planning in particular allows for a more accurate assessment of gifted and creative children, as past research has shown a strong connection between planning and creativity. This more extensive and inclusive measure of intelligence could identify gifted children who would otherwise not be identified using traditional IQ tests. In this article the authors summarize the validity of an alternative approach to intelligence and illustrate its utility for identification of gifted and creative children.

Most theories of giftedness include creativity as a central component. Creativity assessment has a key role, therefore, in measuring giftedness. This article reviews the state of the creativity assessment, from divergent thinking tests (including the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking) to the consensual assessment technique to rating scales and self assessments. Despite the many flaws present in every type of creativity measurement, there are compelling reasons for including creativity as part of a gifted assessment battery.

An understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, and achievement profiles of students with giftedness and learning disabilities (G&LD) is needed to address their asynchronous development. This study examines the subtests and error factors in the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement–Third Edition (KTEA-3) for strength and weakness patterns of students with G&LD in higher and lower level thinking skills by comparing G&LD students ( n = 196) with academically gifted (GT; n = 69) and specific learning disability (SLD) students ( n = 90). Several one-way MANCOVAs were conducted with subtest error factor scores as dependent variables and grouping variable (G&LD, GT, or SLD) as the independent variable. The G&LD means scores across subtests were in between the two control groups. On many higher level thinking tasks, the G&LD group scored similar to the gifted group. The results support the use of error analysis to gain further understanding into the profile of students with G&LD.
