The purpose of this study was to verify the applicability of resilience as an important evaluation factor to select gifted students, and the subjects were 129 students of Science High School and 133 students of General High School. This study compared the resilience between the subjects of both schools using Resilience Questionnaire. The results of this study were as follows : First, self-regulation ability and positivity showed significant differences in the total score of resilience, however, interpersonal relations ability did not show meaningful differences among sub-factors. Second, self-regulation ability indicated significant differences among all sub-factors, however, positivity only showed significant differences in the area of living satisfaction. Therefore, resilience needs to be actively applied in selecting gifted students in terms of long-term growth by actively applying self-regulation and positivity factors and passively applying interpersonal relations ability and positivity factors.
