Thus, the simple fact of passing a questionnaire that detects the type of intelligence that predominates in a student, will show us the possible professional opportunities more appropriate to their tastes and preferences. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to review the scientific literature that addresses the detection of the professional profile through MI.

This systematic review uses the statement PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) of Liberati et al. (2009), for greater consistency and scientific rigor. In addition, it follows the steps established in the Fernández-Ríos and Buela-Casal standards (2009). The main objective of this study is to analyze all the empirical studies that related the professional identity of the university students to their multiple intelligence. We consulted two search databases: Web of Science and Scopus. This was made during the months of September and November 2018 and included different combinations of the following key words, both in English and Spanish: "multiple intelligence", "professional identity", "university" and "students". It also used the operators boleanos "and" and "or". Then, the temporal range of the publication of these articles was defined, being from 2008 to 2018. In this time period 175 articles were found, distributed in 97 articles in Web of Science and 78 for Scopus.

Following a comprehensive systematic review, the number of articles studying the link between MI has increased considerably since 2013. At the same time, it can also be appreciated that practically all of the studies reviewed are cross-sectional. This makes us infer the pressing need for more implementations and interventions, due to the results reported on its participants. In relation to the country in which the different studies have been carried out, we find a total of 10 different countries. Spain stands out, over the rest, with 13 investigations; Great Britain with 4; USA and Taiwan with 2 each; while Colombia, Costa Rica, France, Hungary, Iran and Italy only have one study in the last ten years. Most of the documents focus on the study in the university stage (11 articles), this may well be due to the rapid access to the university population that the researchers have. As main conclusion, it could be said that more than half of the research reviewed in this work has as its thematic axis the MI study in an educational environment. This fact makes us stress the need for studies in groups outside educational practice, always bearing in mind that most of the existing ones are of a transversal nature. Perhaps, the access to a wide sample is the great handicap for the study in other sport fields.
