Lesson 3D. Howard Gardners Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences identifies 9 categories of intelligence: 1) verbal-linguistic, 2) logical-mathematical, 3) musical, 4) visual-spatial, 5) bodily-kinesthetic, 6) interpersonal, 7) intrapersonal, 8) naturalist, and 9) existential. The theory argues that intelligence is not a single general ability but rather consists of multiple abilities that work together. Gardner's theory aims to provide a more diverse view of intelligence beyond the traditional view of focusing solely on verbal and logical-mathematical skills.
