Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in his treatise Ta'līm al-Muta'allim Ṭorīq al-Ta'allum proposed that the academic achievement has six things dependency: intelligence or high learning ability; high motivation for learning; patience, emotional stability, and commitment to the learning process; availability of financial support; inspiration of the teachers; and disposition to time management in the learning process. In other side, Hoaward Earl Gardner initially proposed his theory of Multiple intelligences (MI) that encompasses seven different areas of intelligence (verbal, mathematical, musical, visual, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal), and later on added the eighth and ninth areas (naturalist and existential). Based on the perspective that intelligenceis an essential element for learning and academic achievement nor challenge that it isn’t dominated by a single general ability but differentiates human intelligence into specific modalities,we haveexamined empirically the instrument through rigorous survey data. The instrument used was Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS) that translated into Bahasa Indonesia that involved 173 secondary students of both sexs in Kudus. In addition, the variables sex and discipline were also considered in this study. The findings of the study indicate that overall, the Indonesian version of the questionnaire has a high reliability. In addition, the results show a moderate to high relationship between sex and MI profiles of the students.
