This paper is carrying out a research on the relationship between the junior middle school students'
acculturation and their intelligence level of the Baima Tibet minority. the result has shown that the
three dimensions of acculturation including main-culture recognition, school education
recognition and the degree of browing the sinitic, are closely related to one's intelligence and
achievements. The Regression Analysis to eliminate the influence of achievements on the
intelligence shows clearly that acculturation has a very obvious predictability on the students'
intelligence levels. This result is helpful to understand the essence of intelligence and improve our
minority education.
