From the Paper:

"The research design that will be used in this study will be achievement and standardized test scoring for all participants. The academic achievement will be drawn from various elements including test scores, GPA' results and teacher surveys. The instrument used will be records from the schools in which the participants attend. The records will be scored to identify those who have been provided a label of gifted intellect and those that have not been labeled. The gifted student records will be drawn randomly from a selection of all gifted students in the school. The non labeled students will also come from a random drawing of student records in the non labeled selection group."
