摘要：Gagné (2011) addresses important questions for the field of gifted children’s education. We are in broad agreement with his views, but also believe that some issues might be more problematic than proposed. An important aspect of Gagné’s approach is that, although academic performance is seen as the best measure of talent, IQ tests are also considered as useful measures. We would go one step further. Intelligence is a construct that implicitly refers to a theoretical framework. It is well known that different authors define intelligence in different ways, and that different definitions lead to the development of different tests. In speaking generally of the value of IQ, not referring to a specific test does not provide enough information for the reader. It is true that the external validity of IQ tests is good, but to take IQ as an unbiased and pure measure gives a distorted view of the problem. Thus, if Gagné wants to use IQ as a possible measure, he needs to specify the methodological framework he is using.
