The instrument is currently used to pre-screen kindergarten and first grade children before being given the WISC-R, a requirement for admission to LEEP (Learning Enrichment Experiences Program). A total of 38 Ss, 19 per group, were included in the study. Two dichotomous groups based on WISC-R IQ scores were used: 100-124 and 131-152. The null hypothesis, i.e., no relationship exists between checklist items and IQ scores, was tested using phi-coefficient and chi-square. Results indicated no significant relationship between any checklist item and IQ score and no significant relationship between number of items checked by teachers and IQ scores. However, the instrument as a whole appears able to identify children with gifted potential over 50% of the time which is respectable in view of the children's young age and higher number of expected false positives.
