Adolescence is a transition stage from childhood to adulthood, with unique developmental milestones. The thoughts, ideas, and concepts developed during adolescent stage of life hugely influence one’s future life as well as play a major role in the formation of personality and character. The study investigates the relationship of resilience with general intelligence among adolescents. A random sampling technique was employed to select 192 adolescents studying in private and government schools. The study reveals that majority of rural adolescents possessed with average resilience level and most of the adolescents from urban area had below average resilience level. Interestingly, both rural and urban adolescents achieved similar mean scores on general intelligence. However, there is no significant association between general intelligence and resilience among rural adolescents. Nevertheless, a statistically significant correlation exists between resilience and general intelligence, as well as general intelligence found to be a significant predicting factor of adolescents resilience.
