IQ tests and multiple intelligences

1. Read an article that questions  IQ tests and includes a quick one you can take.

2. Watch this video. It's an excerpt taken from an interview with Howard Gardner in which he explains how his theory originated. Answer these questions (see key in 'comments').

1. Who was he working with at the time?
2. What was his intuition about the classification of people into smart, average and dumb?
3. Which 2 things did he do that were important academically speaking?
4. What is 'smart' a conjunction of?
5. What happened in 1980?
6. When did he promulgate his theory?

3. Another longer interview with Howard Gardner about his theory. You can watch it and take some notes. Then you can check them in the script you'll find here.
