This paper aims to identify possible differences and similarities in relation to social skills and subjective well-being associated to the giftedness domains (general intelligence, creativity, socio-affective and sensorimotor). A total of 269 gifted and talented children, of both genders, between the ages of eight and twelve participated in this study. The participants replied to the Social Skills System of Evaluation, the Multidimensional Scale of Life Satisfaction for Children and the Positive and Negative Affection Scale for Children. Differences were found in some classes of social skills, and in some indicators of subjective well-being for the socio-affective and sensorimotor domains, as well as in verbal and mathematic subdomains. The latter subdomain being the one which presented the biggest differences. The results achieved bring some contributions to the area, since no researches comparing gifted children in different domains in relation to the variables of this study were found.
