What is intelligence? Is it Intelligence Quotient measures or “common sense”, “street knowledge”, even “the ability to process information properly”. Intelligence not only means being intelligent in a single way, but being intelligent in multiple ways. The works of Howard Gardner and Gerald Graff both elaborate on what it is to be intelligent and how the school system should encourage or make available different strategies for students to truly succeed in school and in life. Although Gerald…

Intelligence and Character correlate with one another tremendously. During my first years in elementary school I was placed into a special education class.

As I got older I began to notice the differences amongst my class and the “regular classes”. They were larger in the number of students they had, they didn’t…

A Rounded Version: A Theory of Multiple Intelligences Critics of Multiple Intelligence Test are saying it is just another excuse to fail at learning. In fact, they are chopping it up to being gifted in another area. However, I took the MI test and it was right on the mark saying I tested highest in Kinaesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal.

Passer and Smith (2015) described intelligence to be defined by culture. So if culture is an underlying factor of intelligence it can become a problematic issue when assessing Indigenous Australians. Gardener’s multiple intelligence theory, along with Charles Spearman’s g factor theory and Lewis Terman Standford-Binet scales are all underlying theories which all address the same issues in the accuracy of assessments. Literature suggest that language, literacy skills, education and cultural norms…
