Abstract

Abstract. Gardner’s and other scientists’ investigations about multiple intelligence show that as opposed to the public beliefs considering human beings as a white disk and everything could be taught to them in any ways, multiple intelligences exist that are completely independent from each other. On one hand, human resources among the effective factors in an organization have key roles in the organization, and efficient human resource could be considered as the most important asset in an organization. Thus, any process that promotes the appropriate capabilities of human workforce with the types of activities improves the asset, shown directly in the production quality and quantity aspects. After describing intelligence from the viewpoints of different experts and authorities, the present article will primarily deal with describing different components and dimensions of multiple-intelligence, and then the applications of multiple-intelligence are stated for human resources. The obtained results express the necessity for more studies as well as more attention to education that is indeed the developer of the community human resources. Moreover, more considerations should be paid to recruitment of people in an organization.
