Who dismissed the idea of general intelligence and defined intelligence in terms of several distinct set of processing operations? Correct Answer Howard Gardner

Intelligence refers to the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. It is the ability to solve problems, learn from experiences, and apply knowledge to deal with new situations.

  • Howard Gardener believed intelligence comes in a package of multiple abilities. He stated eight bits of intelligence – linguistic, musical, logical-mathematics, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist.

Key Points The theory of multiple intelligences proposes the differentiation of human intelligence into specific modalities of intelligence, rather than defining intelligence as a single, general ability.

  • The theory has been criticized by mainstream psychology for its lack of empirical evidence, and its dependence on subjective judgment

The following table will provide a complete idea of Howard Gardener's 8 types of Intelligence.

Type of Intelligence Description Examples

1. Bodily-Kinesthetic 

Control their body movements

Playing kickball, jumping rope.

2. Musical-Rhythmic

Recognize the varieties of music pattern

Composers and Musicians

3. Logical-Mathematical 

Solve mathematical problems

Math experts, Scientists, Lawyers

4. Verbal-Linguistic

Use language for expression

Poets, Lawyers, Public speakers, and Language translators.

5. Interpersonal

Have good communication and social skills

Teachers, Politicians, Sales-people

6. Intra-personal

Work independently

Psychologists, Social workers, Religious leaders

7. Visual-Spatial

Learn by what they are seeing and observing

Photographers, Artists, Architects, Engineers, Surgeons

8. Naturalistic

Satisfy their need naturally

Sailors, Gardeners, Chefs, and Farmers

 

Hence, we can conclude that Howard Gardener is the one who dismissed the idea of general intelligence and defined intelligence in terms of several distinct sets of processing operations
