The participants were N=71 untalented children, N=23 chidren with talented in individual/duel sports and N=30 children talented in tema sports. According to the research results, a significnt difference was found between the students talented in individual/duel and team sports (treated as one group) and untalented students in the value on the dimension of Neuroticism, where talented students had lower results. Additionally, the differences on this dimension were identified even when the talanted in indvividual and talented in team sports were treated as two separated groups. In this case, the talented in individual/duel sports hadthe lowest and the untalented students had the highest results on this dimension, No differences were found on other dimensions. Significant differences were also identified in the results on Teacher Support Scale, where the talented in individual/duel sports had the lowest and the untalented had the highest results.
