Abstract: Comparative research on cognitive ability and personality traits between gifted and non-gifted children was carried out in China. Results show that: (a) Differentiation in various aspects of cognition is evident; (b) Obvious differences exist in the pattern of cognitive structure; and (c) The developmental tendency of cognition is not the same. As to personality traits, results show that: (a) Most of the gifted children are superior to the non-gifted children in traits such as curiosity, independence, and persistence; (b) The personality development of these gifted children is unbalanced; and (c)Personality traits and academic performance of gifted children are correlated.
