Abstract

The investigation was conducted to determine what, if any, differences in expectations, motivations, satisfaction, and performance existed among 612 extremely gifted adolescents attending the Talent Identification Program's Summer Residential Program. As part of a thorough program evaluation, a staged series of statistical analyses were effected. Three discernible groups of students emerged (Academically Oriented, Socially Oriented, and Highly Motivated-Gregarious). Investigation of the composition and correlates of these groups revealed a number of interesting differences. The implications of this effort for program modification and future investigation of differences within the academically gifted population are discussed.
