Abstract: Deusinger (1986) defines self concept as the “outlook of the individual in the sense of attitude to himself” including cognitive processes as well as emotions and actions of the individual, a multidimensional concept related to the different areas of the personality. This paper compares similarities and differences of the social self-concept between gifted pupils and non-gifted pupils. There were 67 exceptionally gifted pupils, and 103 non-gifted pupils as a comparison group. Results indicate that gifted pupils are neither socially conspicuous nor outsiders. Nevertheless their personality in social areas differs from that of non-gifted children.
