In Development
Children can display high potential across many areas outside of intelligence alone: creativity, leadership, artistic talent, motivation, intellectual, and academic ability. For decades, the Gifted Rating Scales (GRS) has been trusted worldwide to identify children for gifted and talented educational programs. It is among the most researched tests with over 30 articles published on its reliability and validity.
