Intelligence is conceived as 'the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting' (Gardner & Hatch, 1989).

• The theory was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner,

• Traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited.

• Eight different intelligences • Human potential in children and adults.

Gardner argues that the concept of intelligence as traditionally defined in psychometrics (IQ tests) does not sufficiently describe the wide variety of cognitive abilities humans display.

For example, the theory states that a child who learns to multiply easily is not necessarily more intelligent than a child who has stronger skills in another kind of intelligence.

The child who takes more time to master simple multiplication:

“I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place.”
