The use of teacher-rating scales constitutes an integral component in the identification of gifted students. The purpose of this study was to explore the factor structure of the Scales for Rating the Behavioural Characteristics of Superior Students (SRBCSS, Renzulli, Smith, White, Callahan, & Hartman, 2002). Participants consisted of 672 (310 females and 362 males) students from several parts of Oman from Cycle II (grades five to ten). Exploratory factor analysis of the fourteen scales was conducted using principal components analysis with varimax rotation yielded thirteen factors. The results of the study support the factorial validity of the SRBCSS and warrants future research on the scale. (As Provided)
