● The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. 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.


There are lots of different kinds of smart - word smart, logic smart, picture smart, nature smart, people smart, self smart, music smart, and body smart.

We each have ALL of these kinds of "smarts" but in our own individual combination, with some stronger than others.

● Each person has a different intellectual composition
