This research investigates the challenges faced by teachers in identifying and supporting gifted individuals with learning difficulties in schools across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study aims to explore the perceptions, experiences, and practices of both students and teachers regarding the identification and support of gifted students with learning difficulties. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys, interviews, and document analysis. The study population comprises 100 students and 50 teachers selected from diverse educational institutions across Saudi Arabia. Purposive sampling methods were utilized to select participants meeting the criteria for giftedness and learning difficulties. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and thematic analysis were conducted to analyze the data. The findings reveal significant challenges related to teacher training, resource availability, and cultural factors impacting the identification and support of gifted individuals with learning difficulties. Recommendations include enhanced professional development for teachers, curriculum adaptations, resource allocation, cultural sensitivity, collaborative partnerships, policy reforms, and further research efforts. These recommendations aim to improve educational practices and policies to better meet the needs of gifted individuals with learning difficulties in Saudi Arabian schools.

The personality trait of intelligence has a research history rich in psychometric tradition, whereas sensory processing sensitivity is a young construct, which in its conceptualization shows similarities with other psychological and psychopathological concepts such as introversion, autism spectrum disorder, but also various giftedness concepts. The digital tree drawing test recently achieved good results in the diagnostics of cognitive performance losses in adults. The present study investigates whether the characteristics of intelligence and sensitivity are related and can be mapped in a second step using the digital tree test in the drawing process. For this purpose, 19 children and adolescents with existing intelligence and sensitivity diagnoses underwent the digital tree test. The results were evaluated using correlation analyses. Hardly any significant correlations were found between intelligence and sensitivity. Contrary to the previous assumption, the correlations found were negative. Drawing parameters, on the other hand, showed clear correlations with both traits, but here primarily with the sensitivity facets, so that drawing process variables could be identified which appear to be relevant for the personality traits. Future research could investigate in greater depth the direction and predictive value of these correlations in order to expand the diagnostic repertoire of psychological practitioners using the digital tree drawing test.
