Abstract: This study examined characteristics of 458 Grade 10 students who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science while completing their secondary school studies. Cluster analysis of SAT-M and Raven Progressive Matrices Test scores identified four distinct groups: G-EM: generally gifted, excelling in mathematics; AG-AEM: averagely gifted, average mathematical excellence; AG-NEM: averagely gifted, non-excelling in mathematics; NG-AEM: not generally gifted, average mathematical excellence. The G-EM group demonstrated significantly higher general and mathematical creativity compared to all other groups. Post-hoc analysis revealed cluster-dependent and task-dependent correlations between measured criteria. Results suggest creativity levels could serve as an effective criterion for program enrollment decisions.
