 Theory Behind the Model

According to a traditional definition,

 Intelligence is a uniform cognitive capacity people are
born with. This capacity can be easily measured by
short-answer test.

According to Gardner, intelligence is:

 The ability to create an effective product or offer a
service that is valued in a culture.
 A set of skills that make it possible for a person to
solve problems in life.
 The potential for finding or creating solutions for
problems, which involves gathering new knowledge.
 In addition, Gardner claims that:

 All human beings possess all intelligences in varying

amounts.
 Each person has a different intellectual composition.
 We can improve education by addressing the multiple of
our students.
 These intelligences are located in different areas of the
brain and can either work independently or together.
 These intelligences may define the human species
 Multiple intelligences can be nurtured and strengthened,
or ignored and weakened.
 Each individual has nine intelligences (and maybe more
to be discovered).
