It is Howard Gardner's best-known work, according to Ellen Winner, which was a fundamental contribution to psychology, but has had an even greater impact in the field of education, where it has revolutionized educational models around the world. The Theory of multiple intelligences Appears in his work Frames of mind: The Theory of multiple intelligences , Published in the year 1983. This work criticizes the unitary concept of intelligence and instead proposes that there are different interrelated sets that form the intellectual capacity of children and adults. For this reason, Gardner is reactionary to test-based methods that attempt to quantify intelligence on the basis of a coefficient, and study this as a unitary entity. According to the American psychologist and pedagogue, intelligence is not something that can be quantified. Therefore, it rejects the tests based on the Intellectual Coefficient (IQ) that only evaluates a type of intelligence adapted to the prevailing teachings in the school and does not value the talent in other fields like art or music. In contrast, Gardner states that there are eight types of autonomous intelligences or abilities that relate to each other. People have a number of skills that make them stand out more in one field or another, although innate talent is not a guarantee of success in that skill, training is necessary.
