This study addressed the topic of multiple intelligences as an approach to improving academic achievement among students at the Faculty of Economics and Management, using the theory of multiple intelligences introduced by the American psychologist Gardner (Gardner, 1983). Gardner identified nine types of intelligence in his theory, which are: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential intelligences. These intelligences determine the different learning styles of students and help in designing teaching strategies and methods that align with these intelligences and learning styles .The aim of this study was to identify the types and degrees of multiple intelligences among college students. The methodology of this study was based on the types of intelligence identified by Gardner's theory (Gardner, 1983), using the McKenzie checklist (Mckenzie, 1999). The study resulted in several findings, the most important of which are: students at the College of Economics and Management exhibited nine types of multiple intelligences, three of which were assessed as high intelligence (interpersonal, bodily-kinesthetic, and existential), while the remaining six intelligences were assessed as average intelligence (naturalistic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, spatial, linguistic, and musical). The study recommended the necessity of conducting further research and studies, as well as paying attention to individual differences among students in light of the strategies of the theory of multiple intelligences.
