The current research aims at identifying the analytic domain of multiple -intelligence and English objective test. The research is trying to answer that if there is a correlation between the analytic domain of multiple- intelligence and the English objective tests. Thus, the research has adopted a close questionnaire for diagnosing analytic domain (logical, rhythmic, and naturalistic) of multiple- intelligence of Iraqi students at Baghdad University, and an objective English test to achieve the aim of the research. Nine colleges at Baghdad University are randomly chosen to represent the sample of the research which is 511 students. The results of the research have shown that there are weak significant correlation between the analytic domain of multiple intelligent and the objective English test. Thus, from the results of the research Baghdad University could modify the objective tests with alternative ones that based on students’ ability and intelligence not guessing tests. Continuous long-term assessment, untimed, free- response format, individualized test and creative answers based on multiple- intelligence are recommended.
