Frames Of Mind by Howard Gardner

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Presents the idea that intelligence is not a single, unitary faculty but a set of distinct cognitive capacities—originally described as linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal—that are supported by evidence from psychology and neuropsychology; it argues that recognizing these multiple intelligences has major implications for assessment and education, urging schools and teachers to broaden methods of instruction and evaluation to cultivate and value diverse talents.
