Hi All,

Just had a meeting with our principal, and he's interested in starting a GATE program for our school! Yes, unheard of in this day and age ...

He's pondering which test would work best to identify a wider form of giftedness. He thinks that the WISC-IV and SB-V tests that are commonly used only identify those who are gifted mathematically and verbally. He's trying to find tests that also take into account creativity, among other things. A parent suggested he looked into SOI (Structure of Intellect).

From their website, it looks like SOI is used in Special Ed programs, as well as in identifying gifted students. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced with SOI. Thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated!
