Title

Errors Of Overinclusion Versus Errors Of Underinclusion In Gifted Screening

Abstract

The resurgence of interest in recent years in the identification of gifted students has greatly increased referrals for individual assessment by school psychologists. Prereferral screening procedures that will neither overinclude otherwise noneligible students nor underinclude otherwise eligible students are needed. This study evaluated the efficacy of various cutoff scores on a group-administered intelligence test, the Otis-Lennon Mental Ability Test, for predicting gifted eligibility on the Stanford-Binet. Data are presented that point to limitations in the regression equation approach to establishing screening cutoffs by showing that errors of overinclusion and underinclusion must be considered. © 1984, Sage Publications.
