Procedures used for identifying giftedness have been widely discussed in the literature. The present study aimed to investigate the evidence of validity based on the internal structure of a self-report scale to identify characteristics of giftedness. The sample consisted of 276 Elementary and Middle School students, aged between 9 and 12 years, and was 60.0% female. The instrument used was the first version of this scale, which was composed of 44 items related to the topic. Exploratory Factor Analysis was carried out, and the results revealed a two-factor solution, explaining 40.4% of the total variance. The first factor was denominated Socio-emotional Characteristics, and the second factor was denominated Cognitive Characteristics. The results corroborate the data in the scientific literature, which suggest that giftedness is a multidimensional construct that encompasses attributes that go beyond the intellectual scope.

O presente estudo objetivou investigar as evidências de validade da estrutura interna de uma escala de autorrelato para identificação de características associadas ao tema. A amostra constituiu-se de 276 estudantes de ensino fundamental, com idades entre 9 e 12 anos, sendo 60,0% do sexo feminino. O instrumento respondido foi a primeira versão desta escala composta por 44 afirmações relacionadas ao tema. O procedimento de Análise Fatorial Exploratória apresentou uma solução de dois fatores, os quais explicariam 40,4% da variância total. O primeiro fator foi chamado de Características Socioemocionais e o segundo, Características Cognitivas. Os resultados corroboram a literatura científica, a qual compreende o construto como multidimensional, incluindo atributos que vão além do âmbito intelectual.

This study aimed to perform item analysis of a battery for assessment of high abilities/giftedness. The sample was composed of 987 elementary and high school students aged 8-17 years old (Mean = 11.5, Standard Deviation = 1.9), among which 523 were female. A battery for the assessment of high abilities/giftedness consisting of four subtests of intelligence (Verbal, Abstract, Numerical, and Logical Reasoning) and two subtests of creativity (Figure Completing Test and Metaphor Creation Test) was used. The results of the analysis of fit indices pointed to the fact that three items of verbal reasoning (RV4, RV8, and RV10), two figural creative characteristics (Fantasy and Originality) and a judge of the subtest of verbal creativity had infit higher than the expected value; therefore, these items deserve special attention. The second analysis, the item map analysis, allowed for the identification of the features that best differentiate the subjects indicative of high ability/giftedness in three constructs assessed by the battery.
