HOWARD GARDNER

Multiple Intelligence Theory expands our definition of intelligence.

Gardner (1998, 2003) contends that an intelligence is the ability to solve problems and create product or outcomes that are valued by a culture.

INTELLIGENCE“a biological and

psychological potential; that potential is capable of being realized to a greater or lesser

extent as a consequence of the experiential, cultural, and

motivational factors that affect a person”

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

Each individual can be intelligent in their own way.

Each human can have a special talent or intelligence that makes them unique and special.

This theory opened peoples eyes to the short comings of the IQ tests and many other similar assessments.
