Academic excellence isn’t everything
Gardner defines intelligence as “the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings.” First of all, he widens the playing field for what intelligence is and recognizes what people have always known intuitively. And that is that some kinds of intelligence are related to academic success, but there are other ones, just as important, that aren’t.
