Used as part of a comprehensive process for identifying gifted children, the SIGS offers schools an instrument with extensive statistical and research support. This standardized, norm-referenced instrument is completed by teachers or parents and provides an effective method for identifying gifted children.\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;The SIGS consists of two rating scales that can be used together or independently (a Home Rating Scale and a School Rating Scale). The SIGS is composed of seven scales:\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;General Intellectual Ability,\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Language Arts,\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Mathematics,\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Science,\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Social Studies,\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Creativity, and\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Leadership.\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\/\u0026gt;Each contains 12 items that are rated using a Likert-type scale. The items were chosen from a comprehensive body of research concerning the characteristics of gifted students. Nationally normed and standardized based on more than 65,000 completed scales and 250,000 item responses, the new SIGS-2 offers powerful statistical support for using the SIGS-2 as a tool for increased equity in gifted and talented programs.
