这项研究使用了2000年至2008年参加人才搜索测试的25万多名学生的非水平测试成绩，研究了以前报告的学生在数学与语言领域的表现以及特定得分水平的男女比例的性别差异是否仍然存在。结果显示，资优学生的样本中，无论年龄，男性优于女性的数学和科学的子测试，最显着的差异在数学的子测试，而女性优于男性的口头子测试。所有这些性别之间的差异在9年的时间里并没有减少，而是保持稳定，效应量很小或可以忽略不计。在非水平测试的特定分数范围内，男女比例也是稳定和一致的，在数学和科学方面，男性最高，最大比例为3：1，在语言方面，女性最高，最大比例为2：1。这些年来，还发现了种族和家庭年收入水平的表现差异。
Using the off-level test scores of more than 250,000 students who participated in talent search testing from 2000 to 2008, this study examined if previously reported gender differences in students’ performances in math versus verbal areas as well as the reported ratios of males and females for specific scoring levels still existed across years. Results showed that for the sample of gifted students used in this study, regardless of age, males outperformed females on the math and science subtests with the most pronounced differences on the math subtests, whereas females outperformed males on the verbal subtests. All these differences between genders did not diminish over the 9-year period but were steady with small or negligible effect sizes. The ratios of males to females in specific score ranges on the off-level tests were also steady and consistent, favoring males at the highest end in math and science with the maximum ratio of 3:1 and females at the highest end in verbal areas with the maximum ratio of 2:1. Performance differences by ethnicity and annual household income levels were also found throughout the years.
