The Study on the Multiple Intelligences and the Creativity of High School Students

The purpose of this study is to gain a greater understanding of the differences between multiple intelligences and their subsequent impact upon the creativity of high school students. In this study, high school students were divided based upon the general focus of their respective institutions. Groupings consisted of schools that provided general academic course work, those that provided specialized vocational training, and other more specialized schools. Specialized groupings allowed the relationships of components between multiple intelligences and creativity to be analyzed more deeply. Further, consideration was given to examine the differences between students with high creativity and those with low creativity. Four questions were composed for the purpose of this study. Firstly, do any differences exist in multiple intelligences amongst students attending different types of high schools? Secondly, are there any differences in creativity between them? Thirdly, what correlations exist between multiple intelligences and creativity? Lastly, are there any differences in multiple intelligences between the groups of high creativity and low creativity students? The results of these questions are as follows. First, in regards to musical intelligence, differences were revealed between general high schools and technical schools, and also between general high schools and other schools. In relation to logical-mathematical intelligence, there were significant differences between general high schools and technical schools, and between general high schools and other schools. In terms of interpersonal intelligence, there were differences only between general high schools and technical schools. Notable differences appeared with intrapersonal intelligence and naturalist intelligence only between technical schools and other schools. Second, differences appeared in openness only between general high schools and technical schools. Third, the spirit of independence, attachment, and openness had static correlation with every secondary component of multiple intelligences, and the willingness for adventure had static correlation with every secondary component of multiple intelligences, the exception being musical intelligence. Finally, when differences were revealed between high creativity and low creativity groups, it was in relation to independent spirit, adventurous spirit, and attachment, which are the secondary components of creativity. Between the high and low creativity groups, differences were also found amongst the secondary components of multiple intelligences.
