• Resumen

  • The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationships between preferences of Multiple Intelligences and perceptual/social learning styles. Two self-report questionnaires were administered to a total of 207 male and female participants. Pearson correlation results revealed statistically significant positive relations between linguistic intelligence and tactile as well as auditory learning style preferences; logical–mathematical intelligence and individual learning style; bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and kinesthetic as well as group learning styles; intrapersonal intelligence and individual learning style; and interpersonal intelligence and group learning style preference in addition to negative relations between logical–mathematical intelligence and group learning style; bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and individual learning style; intrapersonal intelligence and group, kinesthetic, tactile, and auditory learning style preferences; and interpersonal intelligence and individual learning style. However, there were no significant relationships between spatial and musical intelligence types and learning style preferences.
