Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

The Khatena-Morse Multitalent Perception Inventory has two forms of 50 items each designed to identify leadership, music, art, and creative talent of people age 10 yr. and over. It was developed on the basis of previous research and hypotheses about these areas of talent reported and used by the first author in the construction of earlier records for assessment of talent. Most subjects can complete the inventory in 10 to 30 min. Scoring is done by counting affirmative responses; the total serves as a versatility index. Internal consistency, alternate forms, and test-retest reliability, and indices of validity indicate the inventory is promising as a brief screening device for multitalent presently defined as versatility.
