We participate in various empirical data collection and development projects within the research field, all of which focus on giftedness and/or well-being. We conduct research and our own projects under the name GI-lab, examples of which you can see here. Below, you will find a brief introduction to the research projects we are currently subcontractors for.
In collaboration with Professor Evelyn Kroesbergen of Radboud University, we are gathering data to strengthen World Game's capacity to identify gifted children and adolescents.
The project's purpose is to test an expanded registration form that, based on the child's approach to solving the task, identifies characteristic behavior that distinguishes gifted children and young people. The project compares World Game test results with WISC V test results.
Pearson, the creators of the WISC tests, has developed further indices based on American norm groups, specifically for identifying gifted children. There is good reason to assume that these also apply to Scandinavian children and adolescents, and we are currently collecting data to support this assumption.
The purpose of the project is to clarify whether the new indices can be applied in connection with the Danish standardization of WISC V and whether the new indices correlate as well with giftedness as the American indices do.
Should this be the case, the result will be that the application of the new indices in WISC-V testing will become possible, thereby providing us with additional opportunities to identify primarily twice-exceptional children and youth.
