Previous studies reveal that there is at least 1 gifted child in 10,000 children. Managing these gifted children at home and schools is in fact a demanding task. Parents and teachers need to understand gifted children’s traits in order to cater to their learning needs. This study aims to explore the traits of the cognitive and practical skills of a gifted child through a case study. The respondent is a male child of Pusat GENIUS@ pintar Negara, Malaysia, aged 13 years old who has passed the ‘gifted tests’ which are UKM1, UKM2, and UKM3. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observations. The result shows that the gifted child possesses high ability in terms of cognitive and practical skills compared to his peers who are at the same age. In terms of cognitive skill, he could answer all questions correctly in a quiz conducted and obtained the highest marks in every examination including intelligence tests namely gifted tests. Whilst, for the practical skill he could master playing violin in a very short period of time even though he had never played one before. Additionally, for both skills, he has won a lot of gold medals at the international level. Thus, the researcher suggests a more comprehensive and acceleration learning should be adapted and allowed the gifted child to tailor his cognitive and emotional needs.
