The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that intelligence is not a single general ability but rather composed of several relatively independent faculties or skills. Gardner identified eight distinct intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. The theory challenges the traditional view that intelligence is a single general ability and proposes that people have different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways.
