« The standard view of intelligence, held since the beginning of the century is that there is a single intelligence. We are born with it, we can't change it very much, and psychologists can measure it with a simple instrument. I feel that each of these claims is wrong. I can draw on biological, cross-cultural, and psychological evidence to show how it is wrong. I argue that all human beings, because of our species membership, are capable of at least 8 or 9 different ways of representing the world -- our so-called "multiple intelligences." While all individuals possess these intelligences, we differ from one another, for both genetic and cultural reasons, in our current "profile of intelligences. » « I now think about my own mental activities, and those of others, in terms of multiple intelligences. I am impressed by the extent to which I bring musical thinking to many tasks, such as writing. I am also convinced that intrapersonal intelligence grows more important each year, because we have to make so many decisions about our own course of life. I wish I understood more about how intrapersonal intelligence develops and how we could nurture it. » Dr. Howard Gardner Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is originator of the theory of "Multiple Intelligences". From |
