Social intelligence had a direct correlation with the hours spent on computer games (p = 0.001), but cognitive intelligence (p = 0.5) and emotion (p = 0.95) did not have a significant relationship with the hours spent on games. The type of game was not significantly correlated with cognitive intelligence of students (p = 0.99), but with emotional intelligence (p = 0.035) and social intelligence (p = 0.04), students had a significant direct relation.
