The aim of the study was to determine the status of the creativity quotient (CQ) in 120 students of 10th grade in High school for gifted student, Hanoi National University of Education and define the association between some environmental factors and CQ. The method to determine CQ was the test for creative thinking - drawing production (TCT-DP).

Some factors related to family characteristics that reduce the risk of low CQ and increase the posibility of high CQ were: stable occupation of parents, number of children in the family, strict mother, supportive parents when children make mistakes. Factors about children's activities that helped increase their creativity include: volunteer to be a class official, enroll in extracurricular clubs, participating in the artistic activities and enjoy artistic activities.
