The article shows the relationships between particular dimensions of the achievement motivation in a group of people with literary talents. the aim of the paper: The study was based on a comparative analysis within the level of achievement motivation and optimism among literary gifted individuals and in the control group. research methods: For the purposes of the research Inventory of Achievement Motivation (LMI) by H. Schuler and M. Prochaski in the Polish adaptation of W. Klinkosz and A. E. Sękowski along with the Questionnaire for the Study of Optimism by R. Stach were selected. results: The studies have shown that there are statistically significant differences between literate talented individuals and control group in terms of overall achievement motivation, preference for difficult tasks, flow, enthusiasm for learning and caring for prestige. Conclusion: Our in-house research shows that the achievement motivation and its dimensions can be considered on the basis of creative talents, because creativity promotes predispositions to achieve desired goals and derive satisfaction from them. It was not stated that optimism was a factor differentiating both groups, which probably results from the concept of development that assumes that the level of optimism decreases with age.
