Based on a multiple talent approach to the identification of gifted students, fourteen scales help identify student strengths in the following areas:
     learning
     motivation
     creativity
     leadership
     art
     music
     dramatics
     planning
     communication (precision and expression)
     mathematics
     reading
     science
     technology

The manual includes information about how the revised scales were developed as well as guidelines for using the scales, easy-to-follow instructions for developing local norms, and reproducible teacher training activities to help teachers understand how to use the scales and rate students. A complete non-reproducible sample set of scales is also included in the manual.
