Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ gender and intelligence types, the relationship between particular intelligence types and students’ success in grammar, listening and writing in English as a foreign language and the relationship between parental education and students’ types of intelligences. Preparatory class students (n=144) attending Erciyes University’s School of Foreign Languages participated in the study and the data was collected through the Multiple Intelligences Inventory for Adults. Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test analysis, correlation analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the data. Analysis of the data revealed no significant gender differences in the intelligence types held by the participants except for that between gender and linguistic intelligence which was positive. Negative but significant relationships were found between success in students’ test scores in grammar and bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, and intrapersonal intelligences whereas the relationship between musical intelligence and writing was found to be significant and positive. Finally, no significant relationship was found between parental education and students’ intelligence types.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalısmanın amacı cinsiyet ile ögrencilerin zekâ türleri arasında, belirli zekâ türleri ile ögrencilerin +ngilizce dilbilgisi, dinleme ve yazma basarıları arasında ve ögrencilerin zekâ türleri ile anne ve babalarının egitim seviyeleri arasında bir iliski olup olmadıgını arastırmaktır. Erciyes Üniversitesi Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu’nda ögrenim gören 144 hazırlık sınıfı ögrencisi çalısmada yer almıs ve veri toplama aracı olarak Yetiskinler için Çoklu Zekâ Envanter’i kullanılmıs ve veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bagımsız örneklem t-testi, korelasyon katsayısı ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) teknikleri ile analiz edilmistir. Çalısmanın sonuçlarına göre, kız ve erkek ögrenciler arasında zekâ türleri açısından anlamlı bir iliski bulunmamaktadır. Cinsiyet ile dilsel zekâ arasında pozitif bir iliski oldugu ortaya çıkmıstır. Bedensel-duyusal, uzaysal ve bireysel-içedönük zekâ ile dilbilgisi arasında olumsuz ama anlamlı bir iliski çıkarken, müziksel zekâ ile yazma becerisi arasındaki iliski olumlu ve anlamlıdır. Son olarak, anne ve babanın egitim seviyelerinin ögrencilerin zekâ türleri üzerinde etkisinin olmadıgı saptanmıstır.
