A STUDY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES, FOREIGN LANGUAGE SUCCESS AND SOME SELECTED VARIABLES
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ gender and intelligencetypes, the relationship between particular intelligence types and students’ success in grammar,
listening and writing in English as a foreign language and the relationship between parental education
and students’ types of intelligences. Preparatory class students (n=144) attending Erciyes University’s
School of Foreign Languages participated in the study and the data was collected through the Multiple
Intelligences Inventory for Adults. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test analysis,
correlation analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data.
Analysis of the data revealed no significant gender differences in the intelligence types held by the
participants except for that between gender and linguistic intelligence which was positive. Negative
but significant relationships were found between success in students’ test scores in grammar and
bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, and intrapersonal intelligences whereas the relationship between musical
intelligence and writing was found to be significant and positive. Finally, no significant relationship
was found between parental education and students’ intelligence types.
