传统上，人才搜寻对年级成绩测试中成绩排名前 3-5% 的七年级和八年级学生进行高考管理。追溯到 20 世纪 70 年代的研究表明，人才搜寻可以有效地对这些天才学生的能力水平进行具体评估。最近，人才搜寻模式已应用于三至六年级的天才学生。例如，小学生人才搜索使用 EXPLORE（为八年级学生设计的测试）作为高级测试。然而，针对小学生人才搜寻模型的研究却很少。我们的数据表明，人才搜寻参与者获得的 EXPLOR-E 分数大致呈正态分布，并且与八年级标准相比毫不逊色。探索分数等于或低于机会水平的情况很少见。提高人才搜索资格要求所增加的误报数量将多于减少的误报数量。
Traditionally, talent searches administer college entrance examinations to seventh and eighth graders who score in the top 3-5% on in-grade achievement tests. Research dating back to the 1970s indicates that talent searches effectively provide a specific assessment of ability level in these gifted students. More recently, the talent search model has been applied to third-through sixth-grade gifted students. The Elementary Student Talent Search, for example, uses EXPLORE (a test designed for eighth graders) as an above-level test. Very little research has been conducted on the talent search model as applied to elementary students, however. Our data indicate that talent search participants earn EXPLOR-E scores that are approximately normally distributed and that they compare favorably to eighth-grade norms. EXPLORE scores at or below chance level are rare. Raising the requirements for Talent Search eligibility would increase the number of false negatives more than it would decrease the number of false positives.
