الملخص EN

The current study investigates the relationship between Brain Dominance “BD” as indicated by Ned Hermann (1998) and overexcitability (OVP) types as proposed by Dabrowsky (1968) in his theory.

The current study focused on the following overexcitabilities which involved, mental overexcitability, emotional overexcitability, and imagination overexcitability.

The Sample of the study included 200 academic gifted students from different Saudi universities (6 universities), with different majors (Medical, practical, and Social), and type (male vs.

female).

This study used Brain Dominance inventory, and Overexcitabilities inventory.

Results reported main effects of type due to gender, in favor of female participants, and major due to different academic specialty, in favor of practical field.

In addition to an interaction between BD and major in emotional and imaginative overexcitabilities.

However, an interaction between BD and major was not significant, in overexcitabilities types.

Moreover, the current study proposed a model that predict the contribution of BD and OVP, using path analysis.

Results showed indirect contribution of cognitive and imaginative overexcitabilities types to explain the BD and OVP.

In conclusion, BD and OVP are related to each other and can contribute to recognize the high mental process for gifted and non-gifted students.
