Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences proposes that there are at least eight separate kinds of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This is different from Spearman's g factor concept, which suggests that there is a general intelligence factor that underlies all cognitive abilities, and Sternberg's components view of intelligence, which focuses on three main components of intelligence (analytical, creative, and practical). Binet's theory of school-related intelligences is not a commonly recognized theory of intelligence.
