The study aims to verify the association between multiple intelligences listed by Howard Gardner and the perception of accountant stereotype. To this end it was carried out a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, through a survey applied to the students of the last period of the courses in Accounting, Administration, Economics and Information Management. First, respondents indicated the degree of agreement on their own intelligences and subsequently signaled their perceptions of the accounting profession. For the data analysis, it was performed a HOMALS statistical technique, noting that there was a prevalence of 45% of the positive stereotype, versus 21% of the negative stereotype. Though there was not a relation of association between intelligence and stereotype, there was an association between intelligence developed by the students and the course which they belonged to. The results indicated a predominance of logical-mathematical intelligence for Accounting and Administration. It was also found that the naturalist intelligence had more association with the course of Economics and spatial intelligence had association with Information Management course. It is concluded that the differences between courses indicate that, although aim to study of the relationships established in society, they have peculiarities, goals and methods differ significantly, developing and stimulating different types of intelligence without affect the perception of accountant stereotype.Keywords: Multiple Intelligences.
