MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCE
HOWARD GARDNER
Howard Gardner is an American developmental psychologist
and professor of cognition and education at the Harvard
graduate school at Harvard University. He studied under Erik
Ericson (Below) and Jerome Bruner (above).
He published “Frames of Mind” in 1983, in it, he laid out his
theory of “multiple intelligences”.
Gardner perceived intelligence as the ability to solve problems
or make products that are useful in one or more cultural
settings.
He developed a list of criteria he would use to judge possible
contenders for the title “intelligence”. Candidates had to satisfy
a range of the conditions on his list and also be able to solve
genuine problems of difficulties. Initially, Gardner named seven
intelligences.
Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”) Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)

ERIKSON’S 8 STAGES
• Identity Vs. Role Confusion (Age 12 – 18). Students in this stage
are asking themselves “Who am I” and “What do I want to do in my
life”. They will try out multiple roles during this time to find what one
“fits” best. A strong sense of identity and an ability to defend their core
beliefs in the face of other opinions would be considered success at
this stage.
• Intimacy Vs. Isolation (Age 18 – 40). As students progress into early
adulthood their focus shifts to making and maintaining strong, intimate
relationships with others.
• Generativity Vs. Stagnation (Age 40 – 65). In middle adulthood,
Continpeople are concerned with contributing to society either through
their work or parenthood. ued self-improvement for the benefit of
other people figures strongly here.
• Integrity Vs. Despair (Age 65+). Those in late adulthood reflect on
their lives, feeling a sense of satisfaction or failure. Those who feel
failure will often obsess with ideas of what they “should have” or
“could have” done.
