Resumen

This study examines the relationships between multiple intelligences, academic achievement and motorperformance in a group of secondary school children. Four hundred and eighty schoolchildren participated in thisstudy (171 female and 309 male) with an average age of 13.33 years (SD: 1.41). The Revised self-efficacyInventory for Multiple Intelligences (IAIM-R) and the motor test Sportcomp were applied, and the average resultsof the academic year they had made were obtained. The analysis of the results showed how female scoredsignificantly higher on the Linguistic, Spatial and Interpersonal intelligences, and older pupils scored significantlyhigher on the linguistic and naturalistic intelligences. It was the logical-mathematical intelligence which showedsignificant relationships with academic performance and it was the intelligence that better predicted thisachievement. It was the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence that was significantly related to motor competence and thebest intelligence that predicted its achievement. Finally, indicate that schoolchildren with better scores in themotor test were those who scored higher in both academic achievement and all the multiple intelligences, with theexception of musical intelligence.
