The current research study aimed at exploring the relationship among self-actualization (SA), creativity, emotional intelligence (EI), language, and academic achievement in gifted high school students. A sample of 77 female students studying at a high school for gifted students was selected to complete three questionnaires about self-actualization, creativity, and emotional intelligence, respectively. To analyze data the Pearson correlation coefficient was applied as a statistical procedure. The analysis of the collected data revealed that firstly, there was a significant positive relationship between the participants’ SA and creativity__AWT_NOKT_COMMA__ the highly self-actualized individuals were highly creative as well. Secondly, there was a significant positive relationship between SA and participants’ EI, i.e., those whose score were high in SA were also highly emotionally intelligent__AWT_NOKT_COMMA__ and lastly, it was revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between creativity of the participants and their EI. This means that the more creative an individual is, the more emotionally intelligent he or she will be. In addition, the results showed that while there was a significant positive relationship between creativity and participants’ language achievement, there was no significant relationship among other variables in relation to participants’ language and academic achievement. This significant positive relationship meant that highly creative participants had better grades in language achievement in comparison with other gifted participants.
