Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the differences between Gardener’s multiple intelligences among freshman students enrolled at UNRWA higher education institutes in Jordan. To achieve the aim of the study the multiple intelligences scale was applied after having checked its psychometric traits on a random sample consisting of (515) male and female students among whom are (103) males and (412) females. Results of the study showed that among the most popular types of intelligence amongst the scrutinized sample are: Verbal intelligence, Personal intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, Emotional intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Mathematical-logical intelligence, Natural intelligence, and finally Musical intelligence. The degree of possessing these types of intelligences amongst the sample individuals was not within the satisfactory average score identified in the study as the cut-off point or the cutting score. The results of the study also showed that there were statistically significant differences in terms of gender in mathematical-logical intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and emotional intelligence in favour of the females. The difference in musical intelligence was in favour of the males. The two sexes were equal in the verbal intelligence Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, personal intelligence, natural intelligence and general intelligence. The study revealed that there was a correlated relationship between all the types of multiple intelligences and academic achievement except for the Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence and natural intelligence. The study put forward some recommendations the most significant of which are conducting further similar studies on sample students from Jordanian universities taking into account a variety of variables.
