Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics the results from Pearson Correlation of intelligence and academic achievement variables. Based on the data analysis it was found between two variables was 0.348, results showed that low correlation existed between multiple intelligences and academic performance. As a consequence, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted. This indicates that multiple intelligences did not significantly affect academic performance. It seems that multiple intelligences were not the only factor that affects the achievement.
