Relationships between Scores of Gifted Students on Stanford-Binet IV and the SRA Educational Ability Series

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of the use of group ability scores to screen gifted students. Fifty gifted students (22 boys, 28 girls) were tested with the gifted identification battery from Stanford-Binet IV and the SRA Educational Ability Series (EAS). Several Pearson product-moment correlations, corrected for restriction of range, were statistically significant and appear to be sufficiently high for the EAS to serve adequately as a screening test. The discrepancies between the standard scores of the two tests were low and favored the EAS.
