The giftedness - conceptualised as subjective and individual set of the determinants of the effective acting - will be considered 'sub specie' domains of human activity, which mean the realms of displaying the giftedness. Especially, the author's attention will be focused on the problem of the existence basic spheres and domains of human activity likewise the problem of the criteria of separation these basic spheres and domains. The reasoning is forced into the theoretical frames marked by three notions: product, domain and giftedness, where the product is understood as the effect of competent acting, the domain means the realm of acting specified by the culture, and the giftedness means constellation of the individual determinants of the efficacy in the particular domain. The attempts of systematizing the different domains of the giftedness are commented, which implies discussion the typologies developed by Cohn, Rice, Gardner, Popek's theoretical conception as well, and actually Ackerman's empirical contribution to the giftedness psychology. New interpretation of Gardner's proposal is also offered by the author. Apart from domain specificity, different levels of the analysis of human activity are taken into account in order to find the giftedness' locus in this intellectual construction.
