| Abstract | Studied with 93 gifted and 92 average elementary age students were social class and rural/urban differences in "futuring ability," defined as a "future-focused role image." Stanchions of Identity, an instrument developed by the author, requiring students to select a level of agreement with 41 positive statements on occupations, future world, friends, parents, and oneself, was used to measure futuring ability. It was found that average students attained significantly higher scores, indicating better futuring ability, than gifted students when the total groups were compared. Heterogeneous average rural students scored significantly higher than heterogeneous gifted rural students. No significant differences were found between other groupings of gifted, average, rural or urban students. Possible reasons for the unexpected findings include the possibility that gifted or urban children are more conscious of a wider range of future options and less likely to "strongly agree" with specific goals or future projections.
