    MI THEORY - Howard Gardner

    During my family life in bringing up a child with autism and completing my own research book, I have always applied much of the MI Theory to my learning games, family music, and life itself as follows:


    Article by verbatim:  Multiple Intelligences Theory


    Howard Gardner introduced the theory of multiple intelligences in his classic book, Frames of Mind (Basic Books) in 1983. In this scholarly work Dr. Gardner provided extensive support for his proposition that there is more to intelligence than what shows up on an IQ score. Based on a unique definition of intelligence and eight criteria, he carefully describes how a broad array of evidence supports the powerful idea that the human mind possesses at least seven distinct forms of intelligence. In 1996 he added the eighth intelligence to the list, Naturalist, in recognition that the understanding of living things (flora and fauna) is not sufficiently covered by the original seven intelligences.

    As of this writing, Dr. Gardner is reviewing the status of the proposed Existential intelligence that was introduced his in 1999 book, Intelligence Reframed. For a brief description, click here.


    The definition of intelligence used by Howard Gardner "The ability to solve a problem or create a product that is valued within one or more cultures" provides a powerful foundation for understanding the full potential of the human mind/brain.


    The eight criteria used to identify the multiple intelligences. For more information click here.
