History of Intelligence Testing (Page 8)
Also, a man named Howard Gardner created the theory of multiple intelligence. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences suggests that our culture and school systems that reflect our culture teach, test, reinforce and reward primarily two kinds of intelligence: verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical. His theory proposes that there are at least seven other kinds of intelligence that are equally important. They are "languages" that most people speak, and that cut through cultural, educational, and ability differences. They include visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligence. Dr. Gardner has just added an eighth, which he called "naturalist."
