  Human Intelligence: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Gardner is comfortable with declaring that a Naturalist intelligence meets the criteria he set forth, however he is less sure about how to define and incorporate Spiritual and Existential intelligences.
Gardner reiterates his definition of an intelligence and distinguishes it from a domain which he describes as a culturally relevant, organized set of activities characterized by a symbol system and a set of operations.
Gardner (1995) staunchly defends the empiricism of the theory by referring to the numerous laboratory and field data that contributed to its development and the ongoing re-conceptualization of the theory based on new scientific data.

 Inside WEAC
Gardner said memorizing all those facts may be useful if you plan to compete on Jeopardy but will not necessarily help you lead a productive life.
Gardner has identified at least eight types of intelligences: linguistic, logical/mathematical, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, spatial (visual), interpersonal (the ability to understand others), intrapersonal (the ability to understand oneself), and naturalist (the ability to recognize fine distinctions and patterns in the natural world).
Gardner promotes the concept of "education for understanding," which means students are able to apply knowledge to new situations, not just memorize facts.

 Human Intelligence: Howard Gardner
Gardner concludes that toward the end of early childhood, young children rely on their newly developed linguistic skills and no longer need to communicate in nonverbal ways like drawing.
Gardner's research revolved around his desire to get away from tests and correlations among tests and look instead at more naturalistic sources of information about how people around the world develop skills important to their way of life.
Gardner claimed that his MI Theory illuminated the fact that humans exist in a multitude of contexts and that these contexts both call for and nourish different arrays and assemblies of intelligence.

Gardner's view is dramatically at odds with that of many other crewmates whom the Globe interviewed, who praise Kerry's leadership and say he was one of the most aggressive skippers in the Navy at the time.
Gardner said there is no way to know which crewmate fired the shots that killed the boy, but he said Kerry was in the pilot house and did not fire.
Gardner, in his interviews with the Globe, said he was upset with Brinkley's portrayal of him and said his memory of Kerry in Vietnam has nothing to do with his political views.

 TIP: Theories
Gardner proposes seven primary forms: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, intrapersonal (e.g., insight, metacognition) and interpersonal (e.g., social skills).
According to Gardner, the implication of the theory is that learning/teaching should focus on the particular intelligences of each person.
Gardner points out that the different intelligences represent not only different content domains but also learning modalities.

 Howard Gardner, multiple intelligences and education
Howard Gardner is currently Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and adjunct professor of neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine.

To the extent that Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory has helped educators to reflect on their practice, and given them a basis to broaden their focus and to attend to what might assist people to live their lives well, then it has to be judged a useful addition.

 Llewellyn Encyclopedia: Gerald Brousseau Gardner
According to Gardner, and to Gardnerian Witches since his time, the Crotona Fellowship had an inner circle consisting of people who claimed to practice this same original Witch-cult, a Pagan religion passed down in secret through the centuries.
Gardner’s involvement was somewhat limited by the fact that, by the 1940s, the OTO itself was completely inactive in England, and the only initiation Crowley offered at the time consisted of being given copies of the rituals and other papers to read.
In 1949, Gardner published his first work on occult subjects, a novel entitled High Magic’s Aid, which was issued under the pseudonym Scire (Gardner’s magical motto).

 CIO Magazine - March 15, 1996 - INTERVIEW: Howard Gardner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Gardner doesn't limit smarts to the traditional realms of logical reasoning and the ability to manipulate words and numbers.
Besides the physical and musical varieties, Gardner has identified six other types of intelligences: spatial (visual), interpersonal (the ability to understand others), intrapersonal (the ability to understand oneself), naturalist (the ability to recognize fine distinctions and patterns in the natural world) and, finally-the ones we worked so hard on in school-logical and linguistic.
Gardner says this tendency to focus on traditional interpretations of intelligence carries over into the workplace, where employees who are excellent team players or who are adept at spatial reasoning (visualization) still risk getting fired if they can't write a decent memo.
