The population consisted of all male and female students studying at Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences in the 2016-2017 academic year that according to Krejcie and Morgan&rsquo;s table, 383 students were selected by multistage cluster sampling method. For data collection Lennick and Kiel&rsquo;s students&rsquo; moral intelligence questionnaire, Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), and the youth high-risk behaviors scale were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis (stepwise). Results: Correlation coefficients showed that except the sympathetic component with alcohol consumption and the components of truth and forgiveness with the tendency to high-risk sexual behaviors that were not meaningful, there were significant negative relationships between the other components of moral intelligence and the components of high-risk behaviors (p<0.01). Also, except the relationships between the processing of social information and social skills with tendency to high-risk sexual behaviors and the relationship between social awareness with tendency to violence and smoking that were not meaningful, there were significant negative relationships between the other&nbsp; components of social intelligence and the components of high-risk behaviors (p<0.01). Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the components of moral intelligence and social intelligence could significantly predict all components of high-risk behaviors. Conclusion: Moral intelligence and social intelligence play an important role in reducing the incidence of high-risk behaviors in students.
