SANTOS DE FARIAS, Eliana; DE CASSIA NAKANO, Tatiana and MUGLIA WECHSLER, Solange. Identification by teachers of intellectual gifted students: construction of an instrument and evidence of content validity. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.1, e2581. Epub June 01, 2023.

The present study reports the construction process of a screening-type scale for evidence indicating academic giftedness (Scale for Nominating Intellectual Giftedness: teacher version (ENDI-p)), as well as presenting evidence of content validity. The construction of the items was based on the ten broad domains of the theoretical model of intelligence known as Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC): fluid intelligence, quantitative knowledge, short-term memory, long-term memory storage and retrieval, visual processing, auditory processing, processing and execution speed, reaction, and decision speed, reading and writing; initially containing 80 items. Such items were evaluated by five reviewers. The results showed that 21 items (26.2 %) were excluded once they did not reach an agreement value equal to or greater than 80 %. The kappa coefficient between judges was adequate. Version 2 of the scale is ready to be used in future studies which aim at investigating its psychometric qualities.
