Abstract
The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether there are gender differences in intelligence and achievement among gifted Spanish children. The sample is made up of 110 students of high ability (42 girls and 68 boys) coming from various Spanish educational centers and selected to attend an enrichment program. Their age ranged between 6 and 16 years. Data relating to the administration of the WISC-R and achievement in their school were amalgamated. The results reveal some signifi cant differences in intelligence and achievement. Girls scored higher than boys in Performance IQ and Full Scale IQ, whereas boys scored higher in achievement. Differences were also noted in terms of function and educational level. Secondary students performed better than those in primary education.
