Multiple Intelligences and Howard Gardner’s Theory A prominent issue striking many individuals through the world today is the use of standardized test to calculate intelligence. According to Howard Gardner, a Harvard graduate and developmental psychologist: “IQ test have generally emphasized verbal and mathematical skills, to the exclusion of other important skills.” He went on to develop a list of eight human intelligences that include a variety of talents that are not assessed on traditional
