Abstract
The purpose of this study was to obtain an overview of the relationship and influence of IQ, gender, and the value of analytical geometry examination results on the ability to think geometry. This research was designed with a correlational model based on 32 students randomly selected from a mathematics education department at one of the universities in Indonesia. The test instrument used was "Van Hiele Geometry Test" which was compiled on the CDASSG Project. The findings in the study were that there was a correlation between IQ, gender, and the value of analytic geometry test results with a level of geometric thinking but not significant. In addition there is an influence between IQ, gender, and geometry values on the level of geometric thinking but not significant.
