Research Article

 The purposes of this study were (1) to buiid a model for multiple intelligence and to construct a multiple intelligence tests (MIT). (2) to explore the feasibility of understanding the nature of intelligence throgh analyzing one’s cognitive processes. The theory of multiple intelligence comprised three subtheories: the Internal Intelligence subtheory, which describes the part of intelligence that relates intelligence to the internal; the Medial Intelligence subtheory, which describes the part of intelligence that mediated the internal and the external world of individual; and the External Intelligence subtheory, which relates intelligence to the external world of individual. Based on the theory of multiple intelligence, the MIT were constructed to measure three aspects of intelligence: internal, medial, and external intelligence. The MIT consisted of 22 subtests. A factor analysis and the analysis of convergent and discriminant validities showed that: both the internal consistency and the construct validity of MIT are satisfactory. In order to explore the relationships between cognitive proccesses and intelligence, 135 undergraduate students were served as subjects. Five Inference tests (e.g. Figural Analogy test) and four Automatization tests were measured. Subjects Recevied two sets of scores for the tests: tests scores and reaction time. The Results indicated that both the inference scores and automatization scores are negatively correlated with reaction time. It implied that th higher the intelligence is, the faster the cognitive speed is. Study 2 also compared the differences of creative behaviors between the high-insighter. and the lowinsighter. Results showed that there were different cognitive components between the two groups.

All the results of Study 2 revealed that both ″reaction time″ and ″cognitive components″ were good indicators for the study of intelligence from cognitive process. In summary, all the findings from study of psychometric analysis and from studies of cognitive analysis revealed that the multiple inteilligence theory were reasonable for elucidating intelligence entity, and the construct validities of the multiple intelligence tests were satisfatory. cognitive components″ were good indicators for the study of intelligence from cognitive process.
