在以色列，天才学生计划的选择，在二年级时进行，依赖于原始能力和成就测试分数，而不考虑年龄，从而忽略了年级内年龄差异对测试分数的众所周知的影响。2011年，本研究调查了所有达到法定年龄的三年级学生（67,366名学生，其中1.4%参加了天才项目），研究了实足年龄与以色列天才项目接受率之间的关系。结果显示，实足年龄与被天才项目选中的概率之间几乎是完全相关的（r2 = 0.92）：年龄较大的学生被录取的机会大约是年龄较小的学生的3.5倍。因此，在甄选资优学生项目时，依靠未经年龄调整的原始能力和成就测试分数，显示出对年龄较大的学生有偏见，并无意中歧视年龄较小的学生。
Selection to programmes for gifted students in Israel, performed in the second grade, relies on raw ability and achievement test scores, irrespective of age, thereby ignoring the well-known effect of within-grade age differences on test scores. Employing the entire cohort of third graders of legal age (67,366 students, 1.4% of whom were enrolled in a gifted programme) in 2011, this study examined the relationship between chronological age and the probability of acceptance to programmes for the gifted in Israel. The results reveal an almost perfect correlation between chronological age and the probability of being selected for a gifted programme (r2 = 0.92): older students have approximately 3.5 times greater chance of acceptance than younger students. Reliance on raw ability and achievement test scores, unadjusted for age, in selection to gifted students programmes is thus shown to be biased in favour of older students and to unintentionally discriminate against younger students.
