information in different ways. We tend to process information

Multiple Intelligences
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by
Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University.
It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based
on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes
eight different intelligences to account for a broader range
of human potential in children and adults.
