    (2009) BARRERA PÉREZ, Susana Graciela Pérez
    In order to meet the growing demand and need to identify highly able/gifted persons, an increasingly frequent practice within Brazilian schools, this paper presents five instruments to identify indicators of High Ability/Giftedness in 10-18 year students and adults and one screening instrument for 6-9 year students, which may be used in elementary, junior and high schools. The instruments were developed based upon Gardner's Multiple Intelligences (1983; 2000), and * Professora Doutora do COnBraSD Conselho Brasileiro para Superdotação. Renzulli's Giftedness (1978; 1986) theories, using general characteristics and indicators usually assessed in worldwide and Brazilian literature. For validation purposes, pilot tests were applied to 38 already-identified HA/GT students (11 girls and 26 boys), whose ages range from 8 years and 2 months and 18 years old, who attend different grades at public and private elementary, junior schools and technological courses, and are served in educational extracurricular programs atthe Brazilian cities of Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul state) and Curitiba (Paraná state), as well as 5 adults (4 women and 1 man) previously identified, proving to beefficient for their purposes. The underlying theoretical grounds, construction, application and interpretation of the instruments are explained to allow the identificationof HA/GT indicators in persons from different ages, in a conscious, contextualized way, consistent with most modern multidimensional theoretical references whichshould be adopted by Education professionals.
