  • Definitions of giftedness now tend to recognize creative talents, but the most recent techniques for assessing creativity, which rely on productivity, may have caused certain problems for gifted education. The requirement for gifted students to produce something, for example, assumes that all of them have the expressive skills that support their insights, and this may not be true. It also assumes that products can be accurately evaluated, but unless quantity is used alone and quality entirely ignored, some sort of social significance is introduced into the assessment. Social significance can be very subjective, so the assessment loses its objectivity. Most important is that the insistence on productivity relegates potential. Children who have potential talent but need support, encouragement, and practice will be overlooked in favor of those children who already know how to construct and present socially meaningful products. It is concluded that although one must be careful with broad and inclusive definitions of talent, productivity requirements should be left out of definitions of giftedness.
