Computer Sciences have become one of the fundamental milestones of social development. The knowledge society requires to train competent professionals with an integral personality development, which gives importance to the social and intellectual aspects. We analyzed the particularities of socialization of five talented students from third and fourth year of Computer Sciences. To this end, it was used a mixed design with predominance of the qualitative methodology. The case- study was developed by applying an in-depth interview to every selected students. To characterize the phenomenon of socialization in the career, as techniques to collect information, we used the interview to experts and the questionnaire. The socialization pattern that have been built in the career and to which the talented students of this specialty are exposed, gives preference to the intellectual aspect over the social aspect in the professional training and performance, becoming a prejudice to socialization. The tendency to the logical-algorithmic projection of the intellect in the talented students analyzed predisposes the construction of the cognitive map of the social aspect, and it is responsible for the peculiarities and for the sense of their socialization. Besides, the informatics socialization, which is the result of the establishment of social relations by means of the new information technologies, does not compensate the insufficiency of interpersonal socialization.

Keywords : Computer Sciences; knowledge society; personality; socialization; talent; logical-algorithmic projection; cognitive map; informatics socialization.
