In this study, the relationship between an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners' Multiple Intelligence and their listening proficiency was investigated by giving 63 male and female undergraduate students from freshman to senior levels an actual TOEIC listening comprehension test and Multiple Intelligences questionnaire. Four main questions were examined in regard to Korean listeners of English as a Foreign Language:(1) What are the most and the least used types of intelligences among EFL learners? (2) Is there any difference between male and female EFL learners in using different types of multiple intelligences? (3) Is there any relationship between EFL learners' listening proficiency and their multiple intelligences? If so, what intelligences have relationship with EFL learners' listening proficiency? (4) Do participants with what kind of intelligences have the most improvement? The findings indicate Interpersonal Intelligence, along with Linguistic Intelligence, is a significant predictor of improved listening proficiency.
