The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of discriminant analysis and an illustrative example of how this powerful technique can maximize the effectiveness and efficiency (Pegnato and Birch, 1959) of procedures for identifying intellectually gifted students. It is hoped that the information provided in this paper will encourage more researchers and school systems to employ discriminant analysis when developing identification procedure for gifted students.
