Today’s episode is just me.  I’ll be discussing Dr. Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences - what it is, and why it’s useful.

We discuss:

• Why this theory isn't quite a theory
• The eight types of intelligence according to Gardner
• The types that Gardner dismissed
• The new type that's been discussed recently
• Why Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences is useful, even if it's not quite valid
