摘要

本研究由參加第九屆(2003)大學博覽會的應屆考生中取得1651人爲研究對象，進行多元智能的測量及志願就讀學院的調查。研究發現全體男女學生的多元智能有顯著的差異，男生強於數學、邏輯、空間、肢體－動覺及自然的智能，女生強於語文、音樂、人際及內省的智能。同時也發現每個學院吸引各有其優勢及弱勢智能的學生。志願就讀人文社會學門與理工學門的學生，其優勢與弱勢智能正好相反，人際、內省及語文智能爲選擇就讀人文社會學門學生的優勢智能，而爲選讀理工學院學生的弱勢智能；空間、自然、及邏輯－數學智能爲選讀理工學門學生的優勢智能，而爲選讀人文社會學門學生的弱勢智能。選讀藝能學門之學院的學生，在音樂、肢體－動覺、及空間智能的優勢則各有不同。本研究建議，學生可以利用多元智能側面圖來辨識自己的優勢及弱勢智能，作爲選系的參考。

The sample for this study consisted of 1651 students who had taken the College Entrance Exam, participated in the 9th College Exhibition, and chosen the academic fields they wanted to enter. The participants were asked to complete our Multiple Intelligence Scale. With regard to gender differences, it was found that male students have higher logical-mathematical, spatial, naturalistic, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences; whereas, female students have higher linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and musical intelligences. The data also revealed that students who are interested in different academic schools have their strengths and weaknesses in different intelligences. In our analysis of the obtained data, students headed for a School of Humanities and Social sciences were compared with those planning to enroll in a School of Engineering and Science. The former had strengths in interpersonal, intrapersonal, and linguistic intelligences; whereas, these were shown to be weaknesses for the latter. Similarly, the former had weaknesses in spatial, naturalistic, and logical-mathematical intelligences; whereas, these were indicated as strengths for the latter. Students who chose academic schools which provide training in artistic skills had different strengths in musical, spatial, and bodily-kinesthetic intelligences than those who chose other types of schools. Therefore, it is suggested that the use of multiple intelligences profile can help students to identify their own superior and inferior intelligences. The same instrument can also serve as a guideline for selecting a major discipline.
