Multiple intelligences
IQ TESTING WAS INTRODUCED TO THE UNITED STATES IN 1916 WHEN LEWIS TERMAN PUBLISHED HIS REVISION OF THE STANFORD-BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE. THIS WIDELY ACCEPTED ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION PROCESSING, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND WORKING MEMORY WAS USED FOR MANY YEARS UNTIL COMPETITORS SUCH AS THE WECHSLER SCALES WERE DEVELOPED. LATER, HOWARD GARDNER SUGGESTED THAT INSTEAD OF A SINGLE CONSTRUCT OF INTELLIGENCE, PEOPLE ACTUALLY POSSESSED MULTIPLE CONSTRUCTS OF INTELLIGENCE.
According to Gardner, there are eight ways of determining a person’s dominant intelligence and a person can show great abilities in eight ways: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.
