WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Renzulli Rating Scales Test

creativity giftedness

This measure is designed to support a structured appraisal of characteristics commonly associated with student giftedness. The Renzulli Rating Scales provide informant-based ratings across multiple domains relevant to learning and talent development.

The instrument is typically completed by an adult informant who knows the student well (e.g., educator or other school-based professional) and is intended to complement other sources of assessment data. It consists of 37 items and generally requires about 7 minutes to complete.

Developed by Linda H. Smith, Joseph S. Renzulli, and Robert K. White, the Renzulli Rating Scales can be used to document observed strengths and relative weaknesses and to guide educational planning, referral decisions, or program placement when interpreted within the broader clinical and educational context.
