This study deals with validity of this rule. Methods. Renzullis three ring conception of giftedness was selected as gifted definition. Obtaining grade point averages equal or more than 15 was regarded as “above average ability” criterion acquisition. A questionnaire, based on scales for rating the behavioral characteristics of superior students (SRBCSS) was designed for “creativity” and “task commitment” evaluation. Score 3.00 or more acquisition by a student in “creativity” and “task commitment” evaluation by evaluators was accounted as meeting other critieria of the definition. Students who were admitted in Isfahan University of medical sciences during 1997-1999 and recognized as gifted were included in the study. Results. 147 students were included in this study. 50% were female. 20 students’ reports done by 39 students were evaluated. 31 of these 39 students would have been omitted if rule 13 had been implemented. 18 out of 31 students met all three criteria of Renzullis definition.
