This study aimed to correlate intellectual skills that compose the Multiple Intelligences Theory with Information Literacy model s informational competencies, using the Virtual Health Library of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (VHL DIP) by lay users, defined in this study as users/learners. The study followed a descriptive-qualitative approach using the Systematic Review of the Literature as a data collection method, introspective technique based on "Thinking Aloud" on Single Verbal Protocol mode and also a semi-structured interview. We identified one hundred ninety-five characteristics, skills and/or specific core competencies of the eight Multiple Intelligences established and potential correlations with the Information Literacy model, as evidenced by the gaps between both competencies. It might be inferred that the noticed correlation between skills and/or cognitive skills that set and characterize the Multiple Intelligences and Information Literacy is evident, in general on action verbs, which also characterize the core concept of each intelligence or competence. Thus, it may be argued that these action verbs are equally important to define processes and contents of information training programs for users/learners, leading to both skills intellectual and informational and potentially contributing to learning along the whole life. Some applications already existing in literature or implemented in practice were found, as well as new action suggestions were pointed out to be implemented by information professionals, whatever their professional environment, which is one of the contributions of this study, with special emphasis on the improvement of information training programs for users/learners within or outside the school or academic sphere. As results of the Systematic Review of the Literature, there were been analyzed thirty-nine publications, seven articles being considered relevant, emphasising on empirical research reported in them. And, as results of application of the Verbal Individual and semi-structured interview, it was obtained the characterization of the users/learners who participating in the empirical research, the identification of the manifestations of Multiple Intelligences of users/learners in interaction with VHL DIP and the analysis of perceptions and competencies required by these users when they were using this source of information. It can be highlighted the relevance of Information Literacy and Intelligence for Health, since they can contribute to health promotion, to health literacy and life quality. Likewise, it can be concluded that the stimulus to the development of intelligence lead to Information Literacy development, as the same way as the encouragement of Information Literacy contribute to the development of Multiple Intelligences, which again shows the reciprocal relationship between both competencies and skills cognitive and informational
