Therefore, this study aimed to compare the development of character strengths of gifted and normal adolescents in Isfahan City. Method: The research method was causal-comparative, and the statistical population of the research included all normal and gifted adolescents, among whom 320 adolescents (160 gifted adolescents and 160 normal adolescents) were selected by cluster random sampling. The data were collected by Park and Peterson’s (2006) character strength questionnaire. Research hypotheses were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and correlation. Findings: The results revealed no significant difference between the development of character strengths in gifted and normal students.
