The First Seven...and the Eighth: A Conversation with Howard Gardner.
Checkley, Kathy
Educational Leadership, v55 n1 p8-13 Sep 1997
Reviews seven multiple-intelligence forms (linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal) and adds naturalist intelligence, the ability to discriminate among living things. Considers a ninth form (existential intelligence), challenges the IQ concept and common testing practices, and urges educators to distinguish multiple intelligences from learning styles. (MLH)
