Multiple Intelligence and Criticism • 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. Multiple Intelligence and Criticism 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. Multiple Intelligence and Criticism 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.
