 'Intelligence Reframed' by Howard Gardner - A Book Review by Scott London
Gardner maintains that his theory's primary contribution is that it "has helped break the psychometricians' century-long stranglehold on the subject of intelligence." Today there is a growing recognition among educators, neuroscientists, psychologists and others that human beings possess a range of potentials and capacities that cannot be easily quantified.
Gardner admits that there may be schools where the misapplication of his theory is proving his critics right.
Gardner makes a case for two kinds of education he feels honors the unique capacities and potentials of each student: "individually configured education" and "teaching for understanding." He documents that schools dedicated to the principles of MI theory have shown improved student performance and parent participation.

Howard Gardner (born in 1943 in Scranton, Pennsylvania) is a psychologist who is based at Harvard University.
Howard Gardner believes that we all have individual tendencies (areas that we enjoy and excel at) and that these tendencies can be placed within one of the intelligences listed above.
While Gardner based his original theory on empirically derived sources of evidence such as selective impairment of a specific intelligence following brain injury and the presence of prodigies in each intelligence domain, there is little empirical work to support more specific predictions derived from his theory, and his ideas have often been overlooked within psychology.

 Multiple Intelligences - a comment on Howard Gardner's ideas
Howard Gardner proposes that we all have seven different kinds of intelligence.
The identification of different intelligences is not particularly novel--other psychologists have "identified" up to 150--but Gardner claims (among other things) that each of his "intelligences" can be localised to a particular part of the brain, and that they are entirely separate entities.
Also fitting nicely into this philosophy are Gardner's opposition to the concept of "general" intelligence, to practice of standard intelligence testing, and to the categorisation of individuals.
