Renzulli's Three-Ring Conception

Renzulli's Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness suggests that giftedness arises from the intersection of three factors: above-average ability, creativity, and task commitment. It proposes that when an individual possesses a high level of talent in one or more areas, combined with innovative thinking and strong motivation to pursue goals, they are more likely to demonstrate gifted behaviors. This model emphasizes that giftedness is not just innate talent but also involves personal drive and originality, highlighting the dynamic and multifaceted nature of exceptional ability.
