Abstract	The purpose of this study is to develop an initial measure for identifying gifted youth in India. The study will also assess differences in the performance of two groups of children (one group who performed well in school assessments and the other group who did not do well in the school assessments, but the teachers thought they had true intellectual potential) in the preliminary identification. Twenty-four children in third, fourth, or fifth grades attending a school in India participated in the study. Researchers used the Academic Competency Checklist (ACC) (Jambunathan & Jayaraman, 2011) as the preliminary measure. The checklist was for children in grades three through seven comprising of 197 questions in five sections. The items were scored as "Yes" or "No". The results suggest that there were significant differences in the performance of the two groups of children only in the social emotional development section of the ACC (t = 8.43, p [less than or equal to] 0.001).
