Abstract This study aimed to find the relationship between ninth grade students’ learning styles and study fields in multiple intelligences. The research group consisted of ninth grade students from public and private schools in 2008-2009 academic year in Seyhan and Çukurova districts of Adana. 518 students have participated in the study. A personal information form and the self-assessment inventory by Seber (2001) were used to collect the data. The inventory of learning styles BIG 16 was developed by Şimşek (2002) and t-test analysis, correlation and linear stepwise regression analysis were used in data analysis. It was found that there was a positive linear relationship between the scores of the students in learning styles and in the fields of multiple intelligence; reciprocally visual learning style and visual/spatial intelligence, physical/kinaesthetic learning style and physical/kinaesthetic intelligence, audial learning style and oral/linguistic intelligence. The scores of the students in the field of multiple intelligences illustrate their scores in learning styles and thus the results are as follows; the field of visual/spatial intelligence explains the 35% of visual learning style, the field of physical/kinaesthetic intelligence 28% of physical/kinaesthetic learning style and the field of oral/linguistic intelligence 25% of audial learning style.
