Abstract
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.
