Abstract

Introduction: the theory of the multiple intelligence is an innovating vision in the field of the educational psychology, because it gives a different framework for better approaching the teaching-learning process. Therefore, the evaluation of the kinds of multiple intelligences gets main importance.

Objectives: to identify the multiple intelligences of a group of second-year students of Medicine in the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Matanzas.

They applied the Inventory of Multiple Intelligence for adults, a formulary of 60 questions based in the original postulates of Howard Garner´s theory of multiple intelligences.  

Results: it showed that the most developed intelligences in the studied subjects were the interpersonal, linguistic and intrapersonal ones.

 Conclusions: in the intelligence profile of each subject, the personal and linguistic intelligences show the highest development, combined with the logical-mathematical, spatial, musical and bodily-kinesthetic ones.
