Concerning the fact that reading comprehension is a cognitively complex process, this research attempts to relate Multiple Intelligence which believed to have a role in determining the performance of the learners in different reading texts namely linear and non-linear which involve difference approach in analysing information. In gathering data, the researcher utilized two instruments namely the Reading Component of Malaysian University English Test (MUET) and Multiple Intelligence Questionnaire. Indeed, 60 diploma students studying in UiTM Alor Gajah Melaka were chosen to represent the Arts Stream students. Generally, the findings revealed that Bodily-Kinaesthetic Intelligence has positive relationship with the total score of MUET Reading Component. This will allow for more considerations in planning language lessons for students from Arts Stream.
