Abstract
The selection of instruments to screen and identify gifted and talente d students is a difficult and problematic task faced by school divisio ns. The evaluation of instruments should include consideration of the reliability and the validity of instruments according to the specific purpose for which they are being used, the population on which they wi ll be used, and the other characteristics considered vital for fair te st use. This article presents a scale designed specifically for that p urpose for use by school decision-makers.
