    (CCSHAU, 2017) Priyanka; Chhikara, Sudha
    A person can be most successful in a profession when the same is according to his or her abilities and interest. The different domains and disciplines valued by different cultures exert a tremendous influence over how one's intelligences develop, and to what extent they are mobilized. Focus these days is on designing educational experiences for students that demonstrate and explore how they are smart in the synergistic environment of a community of learners. The present study was accompanied with the aim of assessing the multiple intelligence levels of school going boys and to study the cultural differences in the levels. For this, 200 boys in age group of 6-8 years from rural and urban areas of Fatehabad district of Haryana state were selected. The data were collected with the help of standardized Multiple Intelligence Tool and a questionnaire for human ecological factors by Dabas, R. 2000. The results of the investigation elucidated that majority of the respondents were found to be having average levels of intelligence for all the nine components of multiple intelligence. Significant differences were observed in the mean scores of boys from urban area for linguistic, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligences whereas in rest of the intelligences i.e. Musical, Bodily Kinesthetic, Spatial, Interpersonal, no significant variations across rural and urban setting emerged. The results explained that all the aspects of multiple intelligence were significantly associated with human ecological factors of the respondents.
