The study aimed to investigate the multiple intelligence profiles of biology students at Islamabad Model College for Girls I/8-4 in Pakistan. In this study, the "What Kind of Thinker Are You?" by B. Shearer (MIS interest survey) was used to determine the multiple intelligences profiles of secondary students of biology in Islamabad. A sample of 70 biology students was randomly selected from the population of ninth-grade students at Islamabad Pakistan. . Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to investigate the students’ MI profiles. The study identified all eight types of intelligences possessed by students. The results showed that the students had high scores in natural intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence, followed by spatial, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, musical, linguistic, and kinesthetic intelligence.References
