The article is a summary of the extensive research into a technical competence and technical profession preference of the senior primary grades. In total, 1650 pupils from 6th, 7th and 8th grades of the Moravian Silesian Region of the Czech Republic participated in the survey. Standard psycho-diagnostic methods were used. In addition, a new method for measurement of technical and practical comprehension was created. Our results show that there are no differences between girls and boys in intellectual abilities within the frame of single subtests. However, statistically significant differences only appear in psychomotor tempos kills and visual perception in favor of girls. Boys have got higher performance in the test of technical and practical understanding.
