本研究目的在於檢測Gardner所倡導八大多元智慧並確認是否適用於台灣。根據Prez, Beltramino, & Cupani（2003）等人所建立八大多元智慧量表，針對國內16-20歲（與Prez 等人所調查年齡相同）樣本進行便利抽樣，以檢測相關智慧構念存在性及適用性。主要發現，分述如次：(1)八大智慧Cronbach’s α都超過0.9以上（n=1449）及各智慧之間的相關係數均達0.001顯著水準，表示此量表有很高的一致性和可靠性；(2)經EFA，通過文獻建議五項議題檢驗，萃取出八大智慧因素共有69個項目，特徵值總解釋變異達68.97%；(3)經CFA檢驗八大智慧因素構念效度從69個項目縮減為52個項目。根據以上信、效度分析結果，本研究歸納出來的八大多元智慧問卷可以適用於國內環境。

The aim of this study was to examine Gradner’s 8 multiple intelligences and to identify its applicability in Taiwan. The questionnaire, based on the collective work of Pérez, Beltramino & Cupani (2003), sampled subjects from the age group of 16-20 in Taiwan (same age population as Pérez et al., 2003) and tested the existence and applicability of relevant intelligence constructs. The important findings were as follows: (a) The Cronbach’s α for all intellengences exceeded .9 (n=1449), and the correlation coefficients between every two intelligences were all significant (P＜ .0001), indicating that this questionnaire has high consistency and reliability; (b) There were 8 factors extracted and 69 items retained after the tests of 5 criteria and EFA; (c) For examination of construct validity, the number of items had been reduced to 52 through CFA. The aforementioned finding demonstrates that the 8 multiple intelligences questionnaire is applicable in Taiwan.
