Distinct from the Renzulli
Profiler in which students provide information regarding their interests, learning styles, and expression styles to aid in the selection of meaningful reading material, Renzulli
Scales guide teachers to look for Behavioral Characteristics commonly observed among gifted children.
Research shows that gifted children tend to exhibit certain observable behaviors, such as using advanced vocabulary, grasping underlying principles, and making generalizations from complex information. The Renzulli Scales asks teachers to rate children in comparison to their peers on a host of these observable behaviors.
