Fifty homogeneous Persian speaking EFL learners participated in the study. The Multiple Intelligence test and English narrative writing essay were adopted in the study. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation. The correlation analysis of the results showed astatistically significant negative relationship between logical intelligence and narrative writing. Moreover, correlation analysis indicated that logical intelligence had a negative significant contribution toward vocabulary and language use of narrative writing. Moreover, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences showed significant negative relation to vocabulary of writing, the only significant positive relationship was between mechanics of writing and verbal intelligence.
