Howard Gardner Theory of Intelligence
Howard Gardner Theory of Intelligence
Howard Gardner propounded a new theory known as Gardner's multiple intelligence theory
Three factors were emphasized under this theory.
- The form of intelligence is not single but multi-functioning and each intelligence is different from each other.
- Each soul or intelligence is independent of each other. Different types of intelligence have a tendency to interact with each other.
- Every person has a unique ability.
Howard Gardner described intelligence in nine ways -
- linguistic
- logical mathematical intelligence
- Spatial intelligence
- Physical motor intelligence
- Musical intelligence
- Interpersonal intelligence
- Intrapersonal intelligence
- Natural intelligence or natural
- Existential intelligence
According to Howard Gardner, The first three of the above types of intelligence are some that are easily measured by intelligence tests, and the form of the last six is something in which the traditional meaning of intelligence has been expanded and these six types of intelligence are supported. Gardner provided developmental, neuropsychological, and behavioral evidence for his theory.
Gardner made it clear that every normal person has the above nine types of intelligence but due to some special reasons like heredity or training, a person gets more.
