Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences is a departure from psychometric theories of intelligence, which focus on general mental abilities measured by standardized tests. Gardner's theory asserts that there are multiple intelligences, including verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. Psychometric theories do not include all of these intelligences, and instead focus on cognitive abilities such as processing speed, working memory, and problem solving.
