The sample consisted of (213) male and female students, while the complex thinking scale was developed and used to include three main domains. The results of the study showed that the levels of complex thinking, and its domains were high among gifted students, with the critical thinking domain occupying the first rank followed by the reflective thinking domain then the creative thinking domain. The results also indicated that the most favored learning styles to the sample were respectively the visual and the kinesthetic, which both came at high levels followed by the auditory style that came at an average level.
