When I think back on the people I grew up with, each one of my friends had a different talent and ability. Although not everyone did well in school, each one had a talent and ability to make them successful in life. Think about the different people you know. The diversity of talents and different attributes they exhibit. How do they show their intelligence?

In this activity we are going to explore the [|Theory of Multiple Intelligences] by Dr. Howard Gardner. Although the standard for many years was the Stanford-Binet, in the early 1990’s Dr. Gardner conceived intelligence differently.
