The Disappearing Bell Curve

Dawn M. Horton

The way in which we determine the population distribution of intellectual ability is an important issue for the field of gifted education because it greatly influences decisions we make about identification, justifications for provision of (limited availability) services, numbers to be served, and ultimately assumptions about the distinctive needs of one group in contrast to others. We are a field based on the notion of attending to individual differences; hence, our beliefs about the distribution and nature of these differences are fundamental to our practice.
