Data were analyzed by t-test, MANOVA, and Correlation. The results of this study are as follows: First, significant differences were not found between gifted boys and girls in their performance on the K-WPPSI, but there were both positive and negative correlations to each subtest. Second, there were no significant differences between boys and girls on TTCT, and no differences among 3, 4, and 5 year old children. Third, there were positive correlations of K-WPPSI and TTCT.
