Multiple Intelligences
Conceived in 1983 by Dr Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University, the Multiple Intelligences are eight different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.
