Two hundred and fifty-eight Iranian university students estimated their own, parents', and partners' overall (general) intelligence, and also estimated 13 'multiple intelligences' on a simple, two-page questionnaire which was previously used in many similar studies. In accordance with previous research, men rated themselves higher than women on logical-mathematical, spatial and musical intelligence. There were, however, no sex differences in ratings of parental and partner multiple intelligences, which is inconsistent with the extant literature. Participants also believed that they were more intelligent than their parents and partners, and that their fathers were more intelligent than their mothers. Multiple regressions indicated that participants' Big Five personality typologies and test experience were significant predictors of self-estimated intelligence. These results are discussed in terms of the cross-cultural literature in the field. Implications of the results are also considered.
258名伊朗大学生在一份简单的两页问卷上评估了他们自己、父母和伴侣的整体(一般)智力,同时还评估了13种“多元智力”。这份问卷先前曾在许多类似研究中使用。与先前的研究一致,男性在逻辑数学、空间和音乐智力方面对自己的评分高于女性。然而,在对父母和伴侣多元智力的评分上不存在性别差异,这与现有文献不一致。参与者还认为他们比自己的父母和伴侣更聪明,且认为他们的父亲比母亲更聪明。多元回归分析表明,参与者的大五人格类型和测试经验是自我评估智力的重要预测因素。本文将根据该领域的跨文化文献对这些结果进行讨论。同时也会考虑这些结果的意义。
