The authors evaluated measurement-level, factor-level, item-level, and scale-level revisions to the "Gifted Rating Scales-School Form" (GRS-S).

The final model demonstrated adequate fit, [chi][squared](32) = 97.316; comparative fit index =…

The Gifted Rating Scales-School Form (GRS-S), a teacher-completed rating scale, is designed to identify five types of giftedness and motivation. This study examines the reliability and validity of a Chinese-translated version of the GRS-S with a sample of Chinese elementary and middle school students (N = 499). The Chinese GRS-S was found to have…
