Abstract

This study aims at identifying the multiple intelligences (MI) domains of Al al-Bayt University students. The researchers selected a random sample of 534 students, which makes up five percent of the total number of students registered in the first semester of the academic year 2022/2023. The researchers utilized the ninety-item McKenzie’s MI inventory list. The results of the study showed that Al al-Bayt University students have a very high MI level. Intrapersonal domain, existential domain, and bodily-kinesthetic domain come first with a higher level; interpersonal domain and the naturalist domain come second with an intermediate level. The results of the study also showed that there were statistically significant differences at α = 0.05 between MI domains and gender, in favor of males; between MI domains and college, in favor of scientific colleges; and between MI domains and GPA, in favor of the very good rating category of GPA.
