Abstract
In this study, we will present some of the results we have obtained in validating
the SCAT (School and College Ability Test) in Navarra, Spain. The data demonstrate
the psychometric properties of this test with which for the first time in Spain, we will
start to implement the Talent Search, a concept developed by Stanley. The implantation
of the model will be coordinated from the Center for Talented Youth, Spain1
(http://ctys.net), a member of the CTY International Association.
The establishment of a systematic and periodic process of identification for
gifted students is of extreme importance for the education system. The implementation
of such as system is the only way to assure the detection of these talented youngsters in
time to offer them the appropriate stimuli from as early as possible, and applying the
most adequate programs. We have based our actions on the premise that all talent that is
left uncultivated is lost, but to be able to cultivate it, it is first necessary to identify it.
