Intrapersonal intelligence means one`s abilities to understand his own emotion and potential, control oneself and plan for the future. It has been emphasized as it is motivation to activate other intelligences in Multiple Intelligence. But the scale to assessment the intrapersonal intelligence independently have not been found. The purpose of this research is to verify the factors of intrapersonal intelligence and develop an assessment scale for intrapersonal intelligence. The main results of the research were as follow: First, intrapersonal intelligence consists of the 3 areas: self-understanding, self-controling, self-planning. Each of them had a cognitive and a functional factor. In detail the above, intrapersonal intelligence has the 6 factors, that is, `the recognition of emotion and potential`, `the practical using ability of emotion` in the self-understanding area, `the decision ability` and `the impulse control` in the self-controling area, `the establishment about the aim` and `the consistency for success` in the self-planning area. Second, Intrapersonal Intelligence Assessment Scale developed in the present study. On the analysis of the factors and the proving validation process were the 37 items composed. Also good-fitness of the three areas and six factors structure and the items turns out valid through the structural equation modeling. The validity and the reliability was significant statistically, respectively. Until now, the research on sub-factors of the Multiple Intelligence has stayed on the early stage. So, the study for intrapersonal intelligence is needed to emphasize the importance of intrapersonal intelligence.
