Klein, Perry D. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1997
This criticism of H. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences argues that a weak version of multiple intelligences theory would not be interesting, but that evidence does not support a strong version. Although multiple intelligences theory has inspired pedagogy, it is too broad to be useful for planning curriculum. (SLD)

Gardner, Howard – International Schools Journal, 1996
Debunks several myths that have arisen in schools' misapplication of the author's multiple intelligences (MI) theory. Argues that seven intelligences do not require seven different intelligence tests. An intelligence is a construct, not a domain, discipline, or learning style. MI theory is empirical and compatible with general intelligence theory.…

Hatch, Thomas – Educational Leadership, 1997
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences ignores certain assumptions about the nature, display, and development of intelligence.

Teachers should organize curricula around the child,…
