ABSTRACT: The study investigates the levels of Multiple Intelligences (MI) among university students at Tafila Technical University, Jordan. A random sample of 628 students was selected. The McKenzie scale was used to measure eight MI types. Results indicate an average level of MI among students, with interpersonal intelligence ranking highest and musical intelligences lowest. No statistically significant differences were found based on college (scientific vs. humanities). The study concludes that family socialization prioritizes grads over learning methods, and traditional teaching approaches fail to identify and develop students’ diverse intelligences. Recommendations include adjusting family socialization strategies and implementing university programs to foster MI development.
