Abstract
The present study aimed to find out the relationship between multiple intelligence and academic achievement of higher secondary students. Survey method with stratified random sampling technique has been followed for the present study. Multiple intelligence scale standardized by Surbhi Agarwal and Suraksha Pall (2016) has been adapted for the present study to measure the multiple intelligence of higher secondary students. The academic achievement of the students was measured through the marks obtained by the selected higher secondary students in their school examination. The total sample consists of 679 higher secondary students which includes 382 male and 297 female higher secondary students. The study revealed that the academic achievement of higher secondary students is high and they have average level of total multiple intelligence and also all the dimensions of multiple intelligence such as, linguistic intelligence, logical intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and existential intelligence. It further revealed that the total multiple intelligence and all the dimensions of multiple intelligence is significantly correlated with academic achievement of higher secondary students.
