Abstract

guidelines for a suitable educational response according to the pupils cognitive profile. 187 pupils from 5 to 12 years of age took part on this study. The used instruments were: a teachers nomination scale, an IQ test (Batería de Aptitudes Generales y Diferenciales, BADyG, Yuste et. al 2001), Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (Torrance, 1974), Early School Personality Questionnaire y el Childrens Personality Questionnaire (Porter y Cattell 1990); self reported Multifactor Adaptation Test (Hernández y Hernández, 2002); and Socialization Battery (Silva y Martorell, 1989). The results show that according to the Battle and Castelló model (1998), 182 participants of 162 were identified as gifted or talented pupils. The data show, on one hand, that gifted students present personality factors scores within the average and, on the other hand, they do not show maladjustment problems as both parents and teachers perceive they (gifted pupils) have optimal levels of socialization.
