Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychological problem during childhood. This study aimed to evaluate multiple intelligences profiles of children with ADHD in comparison with non-ADHD.
This cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was done on 50 children of 6-13 years old in two groups of with and without ADHD. Children with ADHD were referred to Clinics of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, in 2014. Samples were selected based on clinical interview (based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV and parent-teacher strengths and difficulties questionnaire), which was done by psychiatrist and psychologist. Raven intelligence quotient (IQ) test was used, and the findings were compared to the results of multiple intelligences test. Data analysis was done using a multivariate analysis of covariance using SPSS20 software.
Comparing the profiles of multiple intelligence among two groups, there are more kinds of multiple intelligences in control group than ADHD group, a difference which has been more significant in logical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence ( < 0.05). There was no significant difference with the other kinds of multiple intelligences in two groups ( > 0.05). The IQ average score in the control group and ADHD group was 102.42 ± 16.26 and 96.72 ± 16.06, respectively, that reveals the negative effect of ADHD on IQ average value. There was an insignificance relationship between linguistic and naturalist intelligence ( > 0.05). However, in other kinds of multiple intelligences, direct and significant relationships were observed ( < 0.05).
Since the levels of IQ (Raven test) and MI in control group were more significant than ADHD group, ADHD is likely to be associated with logical-mathematical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal profiles.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是儿童期常见的心理问题。本研究旨在评估ADHD儿童与非ADHD儿童的多元智力特征。
本横断面描述性分析研究对50名6 - 13岁儿童进行了分组，分为患ADHD组和未患ADHD组。2014年，ADHD患儿被转介至伊斯法罕医科大学儿童与青少年精神病诊所。样本通过临床访谈（基于《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版以及家长 - 教师优势与困难问卷）选取，由精神科医生和心理学家进行。使用瑞文智商（IQ）测试，并将结果与多元智力测试结果进行比较。数据分析采用SPSS20软件进行多变量协方差分析。
比较两组的多元智力特征，对照组的多元智力种类比ADHD组更多，在逻辑、人际和内省智力方面差异更为显著（P < 0.05）。两组在其他种类的多元智力方面无显著差异（P > 0.05）。对照组和ADHD组的IQ平均得分分别为102.42 ± 16.26和96.72 ± 16.06，这显示了ADHD对IQ平均值的负面影响。语言智力与自然智力之间无显著关系（P > 0.05）。然而，在其他种类的多元智力方面，观察到直接且显著的关系（P < 0.05）。
由于对照组的IQ（瑞文测试）和多元智力水平比ADHD组更显著，ADHD可能与逻辑 - 数学、人际和内省特征相关。
