The teaching profession in the 21 Century not only requires a rich variety of competences but also necessitates a remarkable capacity for adaptability to changes. Training programs for teachers have increasingly incorporated a focus on the personal growth and improvements of teachers. This growth involves acquiring considerable insight into a range of their physical, cognitive and affective characteristics. In an attempt to contribute to the literature on teachers' characteristics, the current work intended to examine multiple intelligence profiles of a sample of pre-service teachers and compare their scores with respect to their gender, field of study and year of college. The participants of the current correlational study were 346 pre-service teachers in Turkey. Findings showed pre-service teachers' weakest areas were in the musical-rhythmic and verbal/linguistic domains. Significant differences were revealed in several domains of MI according to gender, departments and year of college.
