Traditionally giftedness has been defined in terms of general intellectual ability typically measured by the traditional IQ test including the linguistic and logical-mathematical parts. The emergence of the MI theory and the three-ring model renders us to depict giftedness from a different perspective. Renzulli’s three-ring model is argued to be well motivated, constituting a foundational basis for defining general giftedness. In this paper, the three-ring model is argued to become a solid basis for defining verbal giftedness with some additional idiosyncratic criteria. Identification of verbal giftedness is closely linked to the definition of verbal giftedness. It is shown to be made largely by combining psychometric procedures, achievement, and teacher recommendation.
