Abstract
This study explores multiple intelligences profiles among students at Dhofar University and investigates the differences in students’ multiple intelligences according to college variable (College of Arts and Applied Sciences (CAAS), College of Commerce and Business Administration (CCBA), College of Engineering (CE), and College of Law (CL)) and gender variable. A scale of Multiple Intelligences developed by the researchers was applied on (320) students. Mean, standard deviation and MANOVA test were used for statistical analysis. The results of the study show that males and females rank their self-first in intrapersonal intelligences and last in musical intelligences. The results also show that there are statistically significant differences only in Spatial intelligence and Intrapersonal intelligence in favor of females for both intelligences. Regarding college variable, the study finds that there are statistically significant differences in four intelligences: Spatial, Kinesthetic, Musical, and Naturalist intelligences. The MANOVA test highlights the superiority of Engineering students in the four intelligence.
