Abstract :This study aimed at checking the effectiveness of Renzulli Scale for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3rd Ed.); of Gifted Students aged from insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 – 18);. In order to achieve the goal, the scale was translated and prepared in its final form. The Sample of the study consisted of insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(478); students. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(304); of them are normal and insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(174); are gifted. Making sure of reliability of significance of the scale was through content validity where the percentage of the reviewers was between insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(80 – 100%);. Also The factor validity showed that correlation coefficient was high and strong at the same time the concurrent validity was counted between Renzulli Scale for the behavioral characteristics and TONY Test where the correlation coefficient was insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.389);. Correlation coefficient between Renzulli Scale and Torrance test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.475); which is the discrimination index between normal and gifted reached correlation coefficient between the item and the sub domain insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.44 – 0.59);. At the same time checking of the significance of the reliability of the scale by reliability of assessors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.89); in total degree, and Cronbach alpha internal consistence where it reached on the whole degree insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.99);. Which means high significant in general.
