Overexcitability is a specialĀ characteristic of gifted which lead to a higher level of development. Overexcitability not only has a positive effect, but aslo has a negative effect. The variations in the level and form of overexcitability possessed by gifted raises the question of whether the main attributes of giftedness, namely intelligence and creativity, are predictors of overexcitability itself. This research was conducted to examine the effect of intelligence and creativity on overexcitability. Sample of this study includes 173 students of SMAN 2 Tangerang Selatan. Overexcitability measured by Overexcitability Questionnaire II (OEQ II). OEQ II was adapted based on Indonesian culture. Intellegence measured by Culture Fair Intellegence Test (CFIT). Creativity measured by Tes Kreativitas Figural (TKF). The results of this study indicate that intelligence and creativity together significantly affect overexcitability by 7.9%. However, dimensional analysis show that intelligence and creativity significantly affects sensual, intellectual, and imaginational overexcitability.
