Abstract
This investigation is part of an ongoing longitudinal investigation of exceptional giftedness. Personality was examined by administering the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) to the 2 samples of exceptionally gifted adolescents (N = 54) and their parents. Creative potential was assessed using various tests of divergent thinking. The exceptionally gifted adolescents had been selected based on either IQ (all in excess of 150) or Math–Science abilities (e.g., age 11 Scholastic Assessment Test Mathematics scores in the 99th percentile). CPI profiles indicated that both groups of adolescents had low scores on the Well-Being scale, and there was some indication across several scales of low sociability. The parents' profiles were relatively uniform, and differences between the two groups were slight. Correlational analyses indicated that several scales from the CPI were associated with creativity scores of the adolescent boys.
