What does this score mean?
Most importantly, it means you have A score on ONE part of a broad range of assessment tools.

It is best to utilize several different methods for assessing the gifted needs of a child. Not all children (or adults!) who are gifted, are gifted across the board. One method of identifying giftedness is always only one piece of a complex pie. So take a look at the score on this part, keep track of it. (Apologies for the lack of high-tech record keeping: my gifted assessment skills are more adept than my programming skills. If you are able to direct me to a more elegant way to do this, I will happily speak to you!)

A score below 35 suggests: 1. A possible false negative. This happens if the questions don't address the particular gifts of the child being assessed. 2. That more investigation into different parts of giftedness may be useful. 3. That maybe the child isn't gifted in these areas. And 4. That maybe the child in question may be a late bloomer. Not all gifted kids are highly advanced by Kindergarten! Some don't even learn to speak until they're three. Go on to the next section.

A score between 36 and 45 suggests the possibility of giftedness, but without other assessments, the score doesn't stand on its own, for all the reasons stated above. This child may have emotional needs expected of the gifted. Go on to the next section.

A score between 46 and 55 is unlikely to be a false positive, and would tend to suggest a potentially gifted child. This score suggests possible emotional needs due to giftedness. Go on to the next section, and see if that score helps point out more strengths this child may have.

A score between 56 and 65 suggests the child is quite gifted indeed...at least in the areas described by these questions. With this score range, one would expect this child to have particular emotional needs. As above, go on to the next section, and see if that score helps point out more strengths, and if the child is gifted across the board, or only in specific areas.

A score above 66 suggests a particularly high level of giftedness, and one would expect to see obviously different emotional needs. The farther above 66, the more intense one would expect the emotional life of that child to be. Go on to the next sections, and see if those scores continue high, or if there are different levels of strengths in different areas.
