Howard Gardner. 1943- What to make of all of this? I say, pay one's respect to school and to IQ tests, but do not let them dictate one's judgment about an individual's worth or potential.

‘My mind was really opened when I went Harvard College and had the opportunity to study under individuals…who were creating knowledge about human beings. That helped set me on the course of investigating human nature, particularly how humans think.’

‘Until 1983, I wrote primarily for other psychologists and expected that they would be the principal audience for my book.’

This means students and society as a whole could benefit from learning and being assessed in a variety of ways.
