24 questions, 3 for each type of intelligence. Subjects had to

mark the sentences that they felt applied to them the most.
Our target
● Psychology students
● Sixty students were interviewed.
● No distinction was made regarding gender or age.
● “What kind of intelligence could be the most common among
psychology students?”
Results
● The most common type of
intelligence among
psychology students was
Interpersonal.
● The second most common was
Linguistic.
● Tied for the third place
were Musical,
Spatial-Visual,
Bodily-Kinsethetic and
Logical-Mathematical
● The least common was
Intrapersonal.
Conclusions
● Psychology students are more likely to have a good
interpersonal intelligence. This makes sense, since their
job relies on interacting with other people,
understanding their problems and helping them.
● On the other hand, psychology students are less likely to
have a good intrapersonal intelligence, suggesting that
while they understand human behavior clearly, they have a
generally poor understanding of themselves.
