The
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
In 1983, Howard Gardner introduced his Theory of
Multiple Intelligences in a book,
Frames of Mind. Based on his work as professor in the
Harvard Graduate School of Education, his work as a psychologist
researching brain injuries, and his long interest and involvement in the
arts, he suggested that intelligence is not a single attribute that can
be measured and given a number. He pointed out that I.Q. tests measure
primarily verbal, logical-mathematical, and some spatial intelligence.
Believing that there are many other kinds of intelligence that are
important aspects of human capabilities, he proposed that they also
include visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical,
interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. More recently he added
naturalist intelligence to this list and suggested that there may be
other possibilities including spiritual and existential. |
