Abstract
The definitions of the gifted and talented in fifty states were compiled through questionnaires completed by persons designated as the state director of gifted education. The definitions were analyzed to determine the number and percentage of states using the definition established by the Advisory Panel to the USOE in 1972. Additional analysis was undertaken to determine the components of the various state definitions, if both intellectually gifted and talented were included, and the degree to which states were including students with either demonstrated or potential ability.Keywords
