Identification tests of giftedness have some problems, such as adaptation of culturally and early ages (in terms of validity and reliability).
The Stanford Binet - 5th Ed. can be given to very young children and has a very high 'ceiling' in that it is continuous - has items of difficulty up to adult level that can be given in areas of giftedness.
Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is an IQ test designed for children ages 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months. After that there's the WISC-IV - Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Another IQ tests which is suitable for children from diverse cultural backgrounds and non-English speaking backgrounds is the Raven's Progressive Matrices.
WISCR-IV-revised version has adapted and standardized in Turkish version one year ago. You know another test especially it used shortly time.
Does anybody know about a test in Arabic for identifying gifted children that can be used in the Middle East?
