3. MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE

4. The theory of Multiple Intelligence was
developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner,
Professor of Education at Harvard University.
According to him the Traditional Notion of
Intelligence, based on I.Q. Testing, is far too
limited.
Gardner Challenged the Notion of General
Intelligence, and put questions on Intelligence Tests
i.e. how an Individual’s Intellectual Capacities could
be captured in a Single Measure Of Intelligence

5. According to him Human Intelligence or
Cognitive Competence can be better described as a
Set Of An Individuals Multiple Abilities, Talents
And Mental Skills related to a Multiple Number
of Domains of Knowledge in a Particular Cultural
Setting.
According to him, Intelligence Is Not A Single
Entity; rather Distinct Types Of Intelligences
Exist.

who had shown Exceptional Abilities in their
Respective Areas, and Proposes Nine Different
Intelligences…
