For him, intelligence is the ability to solve problems or to produce something in a particular setting. In this theory, he believes these innate intelligences are expressed in different sensory modalities. Based on research in physiology, anthropology, as well as cultural and personal psychology, he came up with eight distinct intelligences. He believes that these intelligences do not operate independently. They are used at the same time and complement each other as people develop skills and solve problems.
