This study asked whether that singular image holds when science-gifted students are prompted to draw an expert in their own field and when their drawings are considered alongside their envisioned occupational futures. A total of 128 science-gifted students (grades 6–8; 98 boys, 30 girls) from nine specialization tracks at a university-affiliated science-gifted education institute completed a modified DAST, asking them to draw a researcher from their own field showing &quot;where, with what tools, and doing what,&quot; together with open-response items on their hoped-for occupation and future aspirations. Drawings were coded using a developmentally and domain-adapted three-layer scheme (classic stereotype markers; figure representation; domain-specific practice), and future-self-related responses were coded for occupational science linkage, aspiration orientation, and learning needs. Classic stereotype indicators were rare, while domain-related research practices were represented. Researcher representations also differed across specialization domains, particularly in research activities. Most students named a STEM-related future occupation, and their aspirations focused on social contribution and the pursuit of knowledge. Researcher representations and envisioned occupational futures showed partial alignment at the domain level.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">870-883</style></section></record></records></xml>
