    The document discusses Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences which proposes that there are eight distinct types of intelligence rather than a single general intelligence. The theory identifies eight intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Critics argue that Gardner's definition of intelligence is too broad and that his categories represent talents rather than distinct intelligences. However, the theory remains popular among educators seeking to incorporate different learning styles in the classroom.

    MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE AND CRITICISM

    Multiple Intelligence

    The Theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests that “traditional” psychometric views of


    intelligence are too “limited”.

    Gardner first outlined his theory in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of
    Multiple Intelligences.

    Gardner proposed that there are eight intelligences, and has suggested the possible
    addition of a ninth known as "existentialist intelligence."

    He has since identified and described eight different kinds of intelligence:

     Interpersonal intelligence
     Intrapersonal intelligence
     Kinesthetic intelligence
     Linguistic-verbal intelligence
     Mathematical intelligence
     Musical intelligence
     Naturalistic intelligence
     Visual-spatial intelligence

    Gardner theorizes that people do not have just an intellectual capacity, but have many
    kinds of intelligence, including musical, interpersonal, spatial-visual, and
    linguistic intelligences.

    Conclusion
    According to this theory, people have many different ways of learning. Unlike traditional
    theories of intelligence that focus on one single General intelligence , Gardner believed
    that people instead have multiple different ways of thinking and learning.

    Criticism

    These critics argue that Gardner’s definition of intelligence is too broad and that his eight
    different "intelligences" simply represent talents, personality traits, and abilities.
    Moreover, Despite this, the theory of multiple intelligences enjoys considerable
    popularity with educators. Many teachers utilize multiple intelligences in their teaching
    philosophies and work to integrate Gardner’s theory into the classroom.
