Can We Gauge Smartness?

Smartness Depends on Nine Variables

One’s smartness depends on at least nine variables. These nine variables are also called multiple intelligences, developed by Dr. Gardner in 1983. This theory of multiple intelligences suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, which ordinarily is based on the intelligence quotient test is really limited. Dr. Gardner, therefore proposes nine types of intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential. He feels that everyone of us is endowed with these smartnesses and depending on the availability of opportunities and ambiance, we tend to grow one or the other smartness in a more prominent way than the rest. It is also widely accepted by Educational Psychologists throughout the world.

Although each one of us have all the nine, no two individuals have them in the same exact amounts – almost like our fingerprints. Let us deal with each of these intelligences in greater detail.
