Background: The research is based on of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence according which we can adjust teaching methods and materials in harmony students kind and level of intelligence.Objectives:The present research was aimed to construct and standardize a questionnaire onGardner’s multiple intelligence.Methods: The sample group consisted of 811 under graduate students in different branches of Roudehen Islamic Azad University in the second semester of academic year 1389-90. The sample group was randomly selected via multistage stratified sampling. The instrument was constructed according to Gardner’s theory and research literature and same of the available questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated using Cranbach Alpha coefficient, which range from 0.663 to 0.824 for different categories of questionnaires.The construct validity of the questionnaires was estimated using component principle analysis by varimax rotation.Results: The findings of research showed that 1) The questionnaires have a acceptable reliability and construct validity. 2) Independent groups t test showed that there was no significant difference between boys and girls except for bodily – kinesthetic intelligence. 3) Table of norms was computed for different test questionnaires based on deviate IQ (M=100,sd=15) for girls and boys.Conclusion: This instrument could be used for recognition of students intelligence and can be viewed as prelimitary step for future educational planninig and decision making for education.

The present study aims to examine the relationship between students’ psychological profile in Wechsler intelligence test for children -fourth edition- (W1SCJV) and multiple intelligence (Ml) based on Gardner's theory among students of fifth grade elementary school in Isfahan city. The study was descriptive and correlative. Sample population consisted of 30 students who were selected using multistage sampling. The measuring instruments used were Gardner’s multiple intelligence questionnaires and Wechsler intelligence scale for children -fourth edition- (WiscJV). The data was analyzed using correlation coefficient. The results of this study showed that there are significant relationships between Gardner’s verbal-linguistic intelligence subscales and Wechsler’s visual concepts, between Gardner’s visual-spatial intelligence and Wechsler’s encoding and speed, between Gardner’s interpersonal intelligence and Wechsler’s digit span and visual concepts subscales, and finally between Gardner's intrapersonal intelligence and Wechsler’s digit span (p<0/05). However, there was no significant relationship between other subscales. It can be concluded that Gardner's multiple intelligence questionnaires should be used circumspectly as a diagnostic test for measuring intelligence in traditional sense.
