On the basis of the existence of two personal theories about intelligence, the fixed and the modifiable, a descriptive investigation with the aim of identifying implicit intelligence theories was held with a group of children. To identify such theories, a scale about implicit theories was applied to 220 school children, 157 females and 63 males, with an average age of 11.53 years old and a standard deviation of .568 .Data was basically worked with measurements. The results showed predominance of the theories about growth, the personal recognition of others, as well as the tasks performed and the relationship between intelligence and learning.
