Description
Summary:The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between four types of intelligence （logical, interpersonal, verbal, and intrapersonal） and grammatical and writing accuracy of foreign language learners. The participants were 190 male and female Iranian students at Takestan Azad University, Karaj Azad University, and Imam Khomeini International University in Qazvin. To accomplish the aim of the study, a 40-item Mls （multiple intelligences） questionnaire, a 35-item Michigan grammar test, and a writing test were administered to the participants. Data were analyzed through multiple regression analyses. Results indicated that both intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences were predictors of grammar accuracy and intrapersonal intelligence made a statistically significant contribution to predicting learners＇ writing accuracy.
