The aim of this study was to describe the mathematical analogy ability of the
eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Purbalingga based on multiple
intelligences. This study used a qualitative description method by conducting
investigations and providing an overview of the state of the object/research
subject based on facts. The research subjects were grade VIII H students of SMP
Negeri 1 Purbalingga in the 2019/2020 school year who were divided
heterogeneously from class A-I. The technique used n this study was purposive
sampling with the aim of selecting 2 students from each of the multiple
intelligences, namely linguistic intelligences, logical-mathematical intelligences,
and visual-spatial intelligences. The data collection method of this research was
carried out using a questionnaire, tests, interviews, and documentation. The data
analysis technique used was the Miles and Huberman model and triangulation
techniques were also used to analyze the test validity. The results of this study
found that students with linguistic intelligence were able to identify answers,
determine answers, but were not able to associate. In addition, students with
logical-mathematical intelligence were able to identify answers, determine
answers, and determine similarities. On the other hand, students with visualspatial
intelligence were able to identify answers, determine answers, but were
not able to find problems related to mathematical operations and also were not
able to write answers related to questions that required sentences.
