Abstract
This study verified the differences of thinking styles between science highschool students and general students in reference to academic achievement. The subjects of this study are 211 high school students, who were composed of 122 science school students and 93 general school students. The significant results of this study are as follows: First, science highschool students showed more distinguishable differences in thinking style than general highschool students. Second, the former rather than the latter is revealed to be more variable in thinking styles explaining academic achievement. Next, in case of science highschool students, thinking style which is affected by intelligence is turned out to be an indirect factor influencing academic achievement. Finally, I verified the importance of distinction of science highschool students and the usefulness of thinking styles, gave suggestions on the reformation and direction of current school education of science-gifted students.
