intelligences/test.php "Developmental psychologist at Harvard University Howard Gardner developed the theory of Multiple Intelligences. According to Gardner, people have different kinds of intelligences, and the Multiple Intelligences framework is fairer than IQ tests, which only measure one type of aptitude." There are seven recognized intelligence types thus far, but an eighth is being considered. Keep in mind that you are not one of these, but all of them, with a varying degree of strength and weakness in each.
