The Multiple Intelligence Approach to Giftedness.

Hoerr, Thomas R.

Contemporary Education, v66 n1 p32-35 Fall 1994

Performance on one test captures neither the nuances of intellect nor the criteria for giftedness. The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) greatly enhances discourse on the nature of giftedness. The paper explains MI beyond the linguistic and logical-mathematical traditionally esteemed in schools, highlighting MI theory at one Missouri school. (SM)
