It really helps to introduce of MI application in real life.

If you simplify it. what it says is 'some people are good at somethings and some at other things'. But obviously!!!

Because of all the silly need to provide facts to prove a theory "logical", academics cannot believe where it is not proved.

Can anyone provide even a single article from a serious journal or a juried conference paper that documents a link between the use of MI in school and improved performance? Im talking about observations of real school children & tasks.

Self-proclaimed educational consultants (mainly uninformed school-hustling, pedagogy pimps) take thousands of dollars from schools and claim that MI can help schools and children and offer no support for this claim. Can anyone cite ANY VALID evidence?

Saying there's no evidence for multiple intelligences is like saying that everyone thinks the same way... In reality, there are some brilliant mathematicians who couldn't write the first page of a novel, as well as some brilliant public speakers who couldn't understand the fundamentals of a grade school science project. The public school system just isn't designed to hone special abilities of its students. It's all about the GPA, which is kind of a stupid system in my opinion.

Three things: First, youre right, people have different abilities, but note that every good traditional IQ test (a) contain both verbal and a non-verbal tests, and (b) provide very strong support for Spearmans theory of general (not multiple) intelligence. Second, your observation could be supported by either Sternbergs or Cattells theories of intelligence. Both of these have strong scientific support. Third, if you believe there is sound, scientific evidence for Gardner, where is it?

[seanotube85]

Hmm.. good points. I looked up those other guys and they had way more to say about intelligence. Very interesting stuff. Then I looked up Gardner, and you're right, there is not enough data/evidence to support his theory. There is a definite lack of empirical evidence.
