The rate of development of a person's cognitive abilities is determined by intelligence, especially in solving mathematical problems. By using Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, the selected respondents were representative of linguistic intelligence (ILK), Spatial intelligence (ISP), and mathematical logical intelligence (ILM). As for the specifics in this study were second year mathematics major students at State University of Makassar. This study reports data obtained through tests and interviews, the tests given to respondents consisted of several mathematical problems using multiple intelligence indicators then continued with interviews, and found that there were visual and structural differences in the problem solving process. The use of patterns and verbal mathematical relationships is dominated by ILK students, and transformation of forms to diagrams or images is dominated by ILM students, while ISP students use visualization and abstraction to solve the problems. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
