Howard Gardner (1993)
Intelligence: “the ability to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural or community setting”
–> recognizes many different discrete facets of intelligence
**Redefined the marker of intelligence as success
Research on Multiple Intelligences
To date, no published studies offer any evidence of the validity of Gardner theories
Emotional Intelligence
Daniel Goleman
Lacks any evidence as a unitary empirically supported construct
–> not successfully differentiated from personality constructs (self esteem) and general constructs
**The facts support a much more complex and varied array of human social-emotional skills than emotional intelligence
Mozart Effect
