Additionally, a binary logistic regression was performed to obtain evidence of predictive validity. These studies confirmed a distribution of the reactants in 7 factors of instrument, which proved to be satisfactory and partially consistent with theoretical and empirical research related to the construct. Is concluded that validation of IAIM-R allows measurement of self-efficacy for multiple intelligences, consistently from statistical point of view, and allows the comparison of results between populations and variables of interest for development of social cognitive theory and inherent to the student and their motivation to demand specific academic or career issues. In items of predictive validity, instrument is relevant when it comes to technical careers choices of industrial and administrative areas, especially the size of logical-mathematical, kinesthetic and emotional self-efficacy. It’s recommended that future studies the development of research lines related to academic performance, motivation and retention in university system.
