Summary/Abstract: This paper intends to present a psychological analysis (based on data obtained through tests, interviews, systematic observation, autobiographies analyses, study of documents etc.) of five case studies of people with disabilities who have managed to obtain success in different areas of activity, on personal, social and professional levels, despite their documented handicaps. The main objective of the paper is to shape a psycho-pedagogical profile of “the winner with disabilities”, showing what different individuals with different handicaps have in common (in terms of functional levels of personality factors, self-esteem, motivation) that might have facilitated their achievements in different professions. Also, the paper refers to the support of social groups as an active factor in attaining positive results for people with disabilities.
