Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

Cognitive Mind Mapping>

Professor Howard Gardner developed the theory of "Multiple Intelligences" which says that IQ should not be measured as an absolute figure in the way that height or weight is. It is a mistake to assume that IQ is a single fixed entity which can be measured by a pencil and paper test.

It's not how smart you are but how you are smart, says Gardner. As human beings, we all have a repertoire of skills, he says, for solving different kinds of problems. And he defines intelligence this way: "An intelligence is an ability to solve a problem or fashion a product which is valued in one or more cultural settings."
