About This Assessment

Behavioral Characteristics Scales for Gifted Schoolchildren Test

creativitygiftedness

This measure is used to obtain structured ratings of behavioral indicators associated with giftedness in school-aged children and adolescents. The Behavioral Characteristics Scales for Gifted Schoolchildren provides a brief, informant-based profile to support educational planning and identification decisions in school settings.

The instrument includes 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete. Ratings are generally completed by adults familiar with the student’s day-to-day functioning (e.g., educators or other school professionals) and may be used to summarize observed strengths across domains such as learning characteristics, motivation, creativity, and leadership. Developed by Sally M. Reis and Joseph S. Renzulli, the Behavioral Characteristics Scales for Gifted Schoolchildren is intended to complement other sources of information rather than serve as a standalone determination.
