Abstract
The research aims to identify the wisdom of testing among the talented students and to identify the wisdom of choice strategies most used by talented students and to find differences in the wisdom of testing among talented students according to the gender variable (male / female), and the third intermediate grade, the sixth secondary school, and the governorate, and for the purposes of research, the test wisdom scale was built with its five strategies. The scale was subjected to procedures of reliability and consistency, and a sample of (110) male and female students was applied, with (70) male and (40) female students.
The results show that the talented students have highly tested wisdom compared to the hypothesized average of the scale. The results indicated that the strategy for avoiding error is the most used strategy for talented students. The results of the analysis of variance show that there are no differences between males and females in the wisdom of selection, as well as the absence of differences in the wisdom of selection according to the third and sixth grades, and also there are no differences in the wisdom of selection according to the governorate. As for the interactions between variables (type, grade, governorate), they are of no significant except for gender interaction. As for the grade, it is significant and in favor of females for the third intermediate grade.
