AB This research study deals with the relation between intelligence quotient (IQ), success rate, and motivation for study for students of education at the Faculty of Education at the University of Hradec Kralove (UHK). The focus is on the relationship between IQ and study achievements and making the connection to academic requirements of students who have not met these requirements within the first two years of their studies. Furthermore, this study determines the motivation to study teaching programmes and its relation to the measured values of IQ. The results of the research show that study preconditions, based on academic abilities, are not the key criteria for acquiring applicants who are motivated to start their teaching career after graduating from the Faculty of Education.
