Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of assessing type and existing level of multiple
intelligence among young adolescent girls and to delineate the human ecological factors affecting
Multiple intelligence. For this, 200 respondents in the age group of 12-14 years from both rural and
urban areas of Mahendergarh district of Haryana state were selected. The results elucidates rural
respondents were in above average level in musical, visual spatial, naturalistic and existential
intelligence while urban respondents were in visual spatial, intrapersonal and existential intelligence.
Significant differences were observed for logical mathematical, bodily kinesthetic and intrapersonal
intelligences on the basis of age group. In case of logical mathematical, musical, bodily kinesthetic,
visual spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligences adolescent girls of
government schools performed better. Adolescents from small sized families were better in linguistic,
musical, bodily kinesthetic, visual spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal and existential intelligences.
Adolescents whose mothers were businesswomen were higher in linguistic, logical mathematical,
musical, bodily kinesthetic, visual spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal and existential intelligence.
Similar pattern was observed for the respondents who were having average school environment and
relationship with their teachers. Significant differences were found in musical, bodily kinesthetic,
visual spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligence of respondents whose
fathers were in service. The same pattern was followed by the respondents who were having good
relationship with their peers. Adolescents from backward class were better in logical mathematical,
musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and existential intelligences. Significant differences
for linguistic intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence and
existential intelligence were observed on the basis of family income. Cultural settings of the
respondents were significantly associated with linguistic intelligence. Logical mathematical
intelligence of respondents was significantly associated with family size, parental education, monthly
family income and residential location. Family size, parental education, residence location, father’s
occupation, relationship with the peers and cultural settings were observed to be significantly
associated with interpersonal intelligence of the respondents’. Significant differences were observed in
the pre and post testing of parents regarding linguistic, musical, bodily kinesthetic and naturalistic
