Abstract
The Khatena-Morse Multitalent Perception Inventory was administered to 613 undergraduate students representing four groups: art majors, music majors, majors other than art taking an introductory art course, and majors in other disciplines. The groups' three subscores from the inventory (art, music, and Other) were compared for differences in variability and means. Significant differences were found on the art and music subscores for both forms of the instrument, with students majoring or taking courses in the area showing higher scores and less variability than students not majoring in that area. The only significant difference on the “other” subscore was that of art students who obtained higher mean scores on Form B. The instrument can differentiate among persons on the basis of talent in specified areas.
