Abstract :

The aim of this study was Primary assessment of the predictive of Gardner’s multiple intelligences, in choosing major courses, among students in 2015. This research was done with survey approach. The population was all of students of first grade in basic and humanistic science and 300 students were selected b multi step cluster. The data were obtained by Gardner’s multiple intelligences questionnaire. Reliability of these questionnaire was between 0/76 until 0/88 by Cranach alpha. Data analysis has done by T, Fisher, Anova and by using spss 18. The findings showed that the best predictor in basic science group was logical-mathematical and interpersonal and for humanistic science was existential. According to fisher liner functions, in 73% of cases, can predicted that the person is placed in which group by multiple intelligence.
