Multiple Intelligences Theory was suggested by Howard Gardner, professor of education and, cognition at Harvard University in his famous book Frames of Mind (1983), He challenged the notion of the (g) concept as a general intelligence that was defined based on considering linguistic and mathematical intelligence as an individual's measure of intelligence and he suggested that every person has eight or nine intelligences consist of
Musical, Linguistic, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Logical/Mathematical Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Naturalistic intelligence
These intelligences are quite independent of each other and each of the intelligences has its own strengths and constraints. Individuals will differ in their intelligence profiles, but they can be fostered under appropriate training and encouragement
