Compare and contrast Gardner's and Sternberg's theories of intelligence
What will be an ideal response?
Both theorists propose that intelligence is more than a general factor. Both theorists suggest an expansion of how we view and measure intelligence. Gardner suggests that there are eight (possibly more) distinct types of intelligence: linguistic, logical- mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. People are thought to possess varying amounts of these intelligences to varying degrees. Gardner's theory, while not supported by much research evidence, has been widely embraced in the educational community. Sternberg suggests that intelligence has three aspects that can be brought together in different ways to meet the demands of the environment. Analytic intelligence involves analyzing, comparing, and evaluating; it is the type of intelligence measured in traditional IQ tests. Creative
intelligence involves creating, inventing, and designing. Practical intelligence, or "street smarts" involves applying, using, and doing—applying what one knows to everyday life.
