Abstract	Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences proposes that intelligence is not unitary but multiple. This study aims to understand the general perception of society regarding the multiple intelligences by assessing the perceived intelligence, earnings and respect level of various professions associated with the respective multiple intelligences. A survey was conducted using an online questionnaire with 123 participants above 18 years of age. Results show no significant correlation between intelligence, respect in society and earnings related to a profession. But, there is a significant difference in the mean rank between the different professions. Further, the implications of such differences on an individual child and the society in a broader view are discussed.
