Method: Participants were nursing students (N=186) who completed a questionnaire assessing criticalthinking disposition and multiple intelligences. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis ofvariance with post hoc comparison, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: For type of multiple intelligences,32.9% of students had the strongest fit for “interpersonal intelligence” type and 20.1% for “intrapersonalintelligence” type. Mean score for critical thinking disposition was 3.42±0.37. Factors related to critical thinkingdisposition were participation in club activities (F=5.962, p=.001) with a representative role in the club (t=2.140,p=.034). There were significant differences in interpersonal intelligence scores by personality traits (t=2.445,p=.015), participation in club activities (F=10.003, p<.001), and friendship (t=2.539, p=.012); and significantdifferences in intrapersonal intelligence scores by participation in club activities (F=3.862, p=.010), having arepresentative role in the club (t=2.101, p=.037), and friendship (t=2.220, p=.029). Conclusion: Results indicate thatcritical thinking disposition is significantly associated with multiple intelligences and suggest that multipleintelligences should be considered to enhance critical thinking disposition when tailored teaching is adopted innursing education.
