1. Nine Multiple Intelligences

2. In 1983, Howard Gardner, suggested that all individuals have personal intelligence profiles that consist of combinations of seven different intelligence types: 1.verbal-linguistic, 2.mathematical-logical, 3.visual-spatial, 4.bodily-kinaesthetic, 5.musical-rhythmic, 6.Interpersonal 7.intrapersonal 8.naturalist intelligence (added in 1997) 9.existentialist intelligence (added in 1999)

3. Intelligence or Talent? Gardner established criteria to measure whether a talent was actually an intelligence. Each intelligence must have a developmental feature, be observable in special populations, provide some evidence of localization in the brain, and support a symbolic or notational system.

4. “Intelligence” in Garnder’s words The ability to solve problems that one encounters in real life. The ability to generate new problems to solve. The ability to make something or offer a service that is valued within one’s culture
