Abstract
Introduction: The accuracy of radiographic caries detection is a multifactorial diagnostic task. One the important factors are the Inter-observer variability. One of the suggested procedures to estimate the variations is the Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory of Howard Gardner.
 Aim: The current research aims to study the relation among radiographic proximal caries detection accuracy and MI for dental undergraduate and new graduates (trainees)
 Patients and Methods: Twenty dental students who have just terminated caries detection training and 19 interns were employed. The sample composed of seventeen men and twenty two women. Caries detection precision was estimated as the region under Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (Az) scores, and MI scores were estimated by sing a modified, bilingual MIS self-recorded questionnaire. MS Excel software was applied to calculate means, percentages and correlation.
 Results: There was little and mild positive correlation among Az and Spatial/Visual (0.29) and Intrapersonal (0.31) domains of MI respectively. The current correlation was mild for students (0.38) and (0.40), and it was lowered for interns (0.28) and (0.26) respectively.
 Conclusions: There is positive weak relationship between Az and the domains of Spatial/Visual and Intrapersonal of MI. This relationship might be diminished by education and training.
