In the province of Babylon for the academic year (2021-2022), they were selected in a random manner with a proportional distribution, if the selection of the sample in this way makes it more representative of the original community and after analyzing the data statistically using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), the results yielded the following:• outstanding students in general enjoy a high level of creative behavior, and this represents a positive indicator and confirms the proper preparation process for this segment.• The level of creative behavior among outstanding students is not affected by the gender variable, as it is the result of the outstanding students' perceptions, the environmental conditions to which they are subject, and their unique characteristics without the gender variable having a significant impact.In the light of the research results and conclusions, the researcher recommends the following:1.
