students can show the ability or potential ability across multiple domains in various forms.
- Renzulli’s model of giftedness aligns with Washington States definition because students
can perform in general and specific areas.

students and emphasizes that gifted students can come from all student groups, including
the special education population.
- Renzulli, Tannenbaum, and Sternberg infer or explicitly state that giftedness means that
individuals will contribute to society, generally in a positive manner, though Sternberg
refers to successful terrorists etc. who may posses gifted characteristics as well.
Washington State’s definition does discuss students as having the potential to show
advanced or superior work, but there is no implied expectation of future contributions.
