Abstract
The current research aims to:
- Identify the implicit intelligence of Anbar University students for the academic year 2023-2024 AD.
- Identify the differences in implicit intelligence among university students according to the gender variable (males, females).
- Identify the differences in implicit intelligence among university students according to the specialization variable (scientific, humanities).
To achieve the research objectives, the researchers adopted the implicit intelligence scale prepared by (Al-Sattawi, 2020), which consists of (20) paragraphs with a five-point scale, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (strongly agree, agree, unsure, disagree, strongly disagree) and the scale is corrected by giving weights (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to the paragraphs that refer to developmental implicit intelligence and vice versa for paragraphs that refer to fixed implicit intelligence, and the high degree is considered to be developmental implicit intelligence and the low degree to fixed implicit intelligence.
The research sample was randomly selected from two colleges: Education for Humanities and Education for Pure Sciences for the academic year 2023-2024 AD, and their number was 200 male and female students. After the researchers distributed the scale for measuring implicit intelligence to them and collected it, and after emptying the data and using appropriate statistical methods for that, the results showed that the students have a good level of developmental implicit intelligence. The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences between males and females, and there were differences in implicit intelligence according to the specialization variable in favor of the scientific specialization. Based on this, a set of recommendations and proposals were proposed.
