- Title
Identification of the gifted in the new millennium: Two assessments for ability testing and for the broad identification of gifted students.

- Abstract
This article describes two projects based on Robert J. Sternberg's triarchic theory of successful intelligence and designed to provide theory-based testing for abilities and for identification of the gifted. The first, Rainbow Project, provided a supplementary test of analytical, practical, and creative skills to augment the SAT in predicting college performance. The Rainbow measures enhanced predictive validity for college GPA relative to high school GPA and the SAT and decreased ethnic-group disparities in test scores. The second, Aurora Project, identifies gifted students in the upper elementary grades (for children roughly ages 9-12). This project is now in progress. The two projects demonstrate the potential value of including a broader range of abilities in assessments to identify gifted children.
