The present standardization study is based on a published paper titled “Identifying Giftedness: Validation of an Italian Language Giftedness Checklist for Teachers and Parents” by Fabio and Buzzai (2019). The purpose of the present study is to show the Italian Adaptation of the Giftedness Checklist of Sommer, Fink and Neubauer (2008), in both the versions for teachers and parents. The present screening can help to cope with multidimensional definitions of giftedness, and to cope also with the usefulness of information provided by parents and teachers. More in depth, the specific aims are: 1) to show an easy administration of the screening test for identifying of gifted and talented children aged from 6 to 13; 2) to show how to sum the scores obtained and 3) to indicate how to easily compare them with z-scores. Italian language screening and scoring rules are presented in the tables 1, 2, 3 and 4.
