This study explores the influence of multiple intelligences on strand selection among graduating junior high school students. Employing descriptive research design, survey results show that students exhibit diverse intelligences, with a notable prevalence of interpersonal and logical intelligences. Interpersonal intelligence, characterized by self-awareness and understanding of the human condition, emerges as the most common intelligence type among students, influencing their personal and career development. Additionally, the study identifies preferences for various SHS strands, with STEM emerging as the most favored choice, followed by HUMSS. Statistical analysis demonstrates a significant association between students' Multiple Intelligences and their preferred SHS strand selection, rejecting the null hypothesis. This highlights the impact of intelligences on educational decision-making and underscores the importance of personalized learning approaches aligned with cognitive science principles. These insights contribute to enhancing academic achievement and supporting students in making informed educational and career choices based on their individual intelligences and strengths.
