Interests of Gifted Adolescents.

The article presents a study which offers further consideration on the interest of gifted students, particularly the collegiate freshmen with education majors in the U.S. A combination of two freshman classes in a Midwestern state teachers college is implemented to have a population of almost 2,000. The classes comprise of highly-talented and less-talented students. A chi-square value of 0.321 was used to test the results of the study. The results indicate that gifted students possess a greater range of interests than the less-gifted.
