This study aims to determine the relation between the multiple intelligence fields of science teacher candidates and their attitudes towards the environment. This study was conducted with the participation of 171 teacher candidates who studied at Adnan Menderes University Education Faculty Science Teacher Education Department during the 2014-2015 academic year. “Self-assessment inventory at field study of multiple intelligence” and “Scale of Environmental Attitude” were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics was used. In addition to descriptive statistics, the research benefited from multiple regression analysis to determine the relation between multiple intelligence fields of science teacher candidates and their sub-dimensions of behavior towards environment as well as their opinions about environment. Both sub-dimensional scores of behavior and opinions of the science teacher candidates towards environment are above intermediate and positive. The relationship between intelligence and attitude areas is assessed by regression analysis, and it is revealed that logical kinesthetic and naturalist intelligence are significant predictors in determining the attitude. In the light of the findings obtained, suggestions were made.
