Howard Gardner related Theory of Multiple Intelligences years ago, and while some may question the soundness of his framework, the fact is that intelligence is far more complex than a single general (g) factor. Some may advance the notion that Emotional Intelligence trumps cognitive or other intelligences, and we simply need to be cautious about overly simplified or narrowed views.
Thank you for reading, and let me know what you think!
