A Word on Alfred Binet’s IQ Test

Content: While one type of intelligence is suitable for problem solving in one sphere of life, it may not be that effective in problem solving in another sphere of life. Let’s say a person has a high academic knowledge but poor practical knowledge. So while he is capable of solving problems that are thrown at him from the academic realm, problems that have been created by other academicians and have a structure to them, he however, may not be capable of solving problems from the practical realm which are not exactly ‘well-defined’. In the latter case he may very well fail because such problems not only require a solution but also needs identification of the problem in the first place. Additionally, such problems may require him to find additional information before he can seek out to solve it. Howard Gardner and Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences is an alternate theory of an individual’s intelligence. This is completely different to what Charles Spearman deduced. Howard Gardner suggested that individuals have all kinds of intelligences, there being nine different kinds of it as he concluded, including one that was “existentialist intelligence”. This theory of multiple intelligences was first expressed in his book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
