The theory of multiple intelligences spearheaded by the celebrated cognitive scientist Howard Gardner has received so much acclaim within the educational circles since its inception some decades ago. Gardner defines intelligence as the ability to solve problems in a given context. He argues that there are at least 9 kinds of intelligences :
- Musical–rhythmic and harmonic
- Visual–spatial
- Verbal–linguistic
- Logical–mathematical
- Bodily–kinesthetic
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalistic
- Existential
