Abstract	This study investigates factors in the home environment and their influence on children's analytical, creative, and practical skills. A sample of 294 gifted children (195 male) was recruited from grades 4-7 in Saudi Arabia, where the family context is highly influenced by the principles of Islam. Results did not confirm the effect of birth order, but showed that (1) mother's education was an important factor for gifted children's creativity; (2) the number of boys in the family was negatively associated with gifted boys' creativity (r?=?-0.21); and (3) Quran-related learning experiences were positively related to gifted girls' analytical (r?=?0.46) and creative (r?=?0.42) skills. Implications for understanding non-Western environments for gifted children are discussed. (As Provided).
