Abstract EN

Bümen stated that Gardner defined ‘intelligence’ an intercultural fact and problem solving ability (2005: 5).

The fact that individuals solve their problems by using their intelligence makes them happy when they satify their expectations but if it doesn’t happen, it causes the unhappiness both for them and their society (Hökelekli and Gündüz, 2004: 142).

In this study, in presentation process of individuals who are defined as having superior intelligence, the comparison has been made between the identificaitons of classroom teachers in line with the clause 9/2-c of Science and Art Centres Directive (BILSEM), general ability test and WISC-R test’s points.

Correlation analysis was used in the comparision.

It has been seen that Primary and secondary school students have the majority of characteristics in observation form.

In correlation account in test points, the relationship between variances was specified and meaningful relationship was recognized between students’ intelligence points and verbal/performance points.

However, no relationsip was found between general ability/knowledge tests’ points with verbal/performance points and WISC-R points
