The present study was undertaken to ascertain the leadership profile of secondary gifted students. Characteristics of leadership were based on earlier findings for adults who responded to the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire.

Gifted students tend to have too perfectionistic social skills, want others to be in accordance with the desired logic, comfortable interacting with students with homogeneous characteristics. This tendency can be modified by school counselors through the integration of the values of Saprahan local wisdom into guidance and counseling services. The values contained in Saprahan are used as the formation of students' empathy skills. Thus, gifted students have concern for other colleagues, can interact well with students of various characters, accept the shortcomings of other friends, embrace and help other friends, be polite in communicating, and not demean other friends.

Evaluation from mentors, mentees, and parents was collected after completing the program. Throughout the evaluations, we learned four lessons to develop a successful mentorship program. Setting goals and expectations, building effective communication, developing the right human resources and training, and building a developmental relationship were important elements to be considered for the development of the mentorship program.

This study attempted to answer the question, “To what extent do 12th-grade high-ability students feel that their past educational experiences, particularly in high school, have challenged their academic abilities?” Much research has been conducted in the field of gifted education about the identification, social and emotional characteristics, and educational needs of gifted students. However, little research has focused on how students themselves feel about the rigor and value of their educational experiences. This case study involved three high school seniors identified as high ability and enrolled in an Advanced Placement Language and Composition course in Indiana. Learning how these students feel about their experiences should help inform educators’ decisions regarding programming options, instructional methods, and differentiation strategies for high-ability students in Indiana.

This article examines the psychological types as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) of students admitted to a public, residential, magnet high school for academically talented and gifted juniors and seniors. These students are compared to two groups of gifted adolescents and two groups of traditional high school students. The magnet school students are significantly like the gifted students and significantly unlike the traditional students. Gifted students seem to have a particular MBTI type distribution.
