Logical Intelligence, Reading Comprehension and Gender

Gardner proposed that there are at least eight different and discrete facets of cognition, which can be regarded as relatively autonomous human intelligences. These intelligences are described as logical-mathematical, linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This study aimed at finding the relationship between logical-mathematical Intelligence, gender and reading comprehension.100 B.A students of English language took part in this study. By using ANOVA, It was found that there was a direct relationship between logical-mathematical Intelligence and reading comprehension. Female with high logical intelligence show a better reading comprehension in comparison with men.
