Abstract
Adolescent isa transition period that involves many changes in individuals both biologically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially.The changes that occur make adolescents vulnerable to behavioral problems such as internalizing and externalizing behavior. The purpose of this study is to find the relation between internalizing and externalizing behavior problems with the level of intelligence in adolescents. Thesubjects of this study were150 adolescents aged 13-18 years in Bandung. Data was collected using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM). The results showed the problem of internalizing behavior is negatively correlated with intelligence (r = 0.169, p = 0.01), which means that adolescents with a high level of intelligence, were found to show little problem of internalizing behavior. Conversely, adolescents with low intelligence, were found to show a lot of internalizingbehavior problems. Adolescent externalization behavior problems do not have a certain correlation with the level of intelligence.
