Abstract

This study aims to identify thinking styles according to Herrmann's brain dominance and their relationship with moral intelligence among gifted students. The results indicated that the frequency order of thinking styles were the left cerebral brain, the left limbic brain, right limbic brain, the right cerebral brain thinking, respectively. The left brain was dominant. Furthermore, the results revealed the mean level of moral intelligent (all domains and total score) was high. Additionally, the results indicated that the males' mean score of the left cerebral brain thinking and the left thinking were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the females. Moreover, the moral intelligent (all domains and total score) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the males.

 A positive significant correlation was revealed between the moral intelligent (all domains and total score) and thinking style. It was recommended that comprehension of thinking styles should be considered especially that correlate positively with moral intelligent.
