recent learning theory that throws out the old model that suggested all children are basically the same, but some are smarter than others. Indeed, for years, education relied on the
IQ test to put children in particular categories. They were either bright, average or slow and it seems that the IQ test was a good measurement to determine which track
a child should be on. Yet, down the road, some began to question that paradigm, particularly after the book The Bell Curve was published and caused a great deal of
controversy. The book supported the idea that not only were some people brighter than others, but that intelligence varied by race. The stereotypes that black people were not as bright,
and Asians were very bright, was supported by the authors thesis. This set off not only an attack on the traditional IQ test, but an exploration into the idea of
intelligence. Can there be one measurement of intelligence, and is it is what Binet came up with at the turn of the century? Might intelligence be something else. After all,
there are many people with high IQs and no common sense, and low IQs who appear to be very bright. Much later, Howard Gardner would emerge with his theory of
multiple intelligences. Gardner came up with the theory of multiple intelligences (Gardner, 1983 as cited in Kornhaber, 1999) in order to counter the idea that human problem solving is driven
by one solitary, general type of intelligence. Gardner (1983 as cited in Kornhaber, 1999) held that all individuals possess several autonomous "intelligences" including linguistic, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal, intrapersonal, logical-mathematical
and spatial(1999). Gardner defines an intelligence as having the ability to resolve problems or create things that are valued within a cultural setting (Gardner, 1985 as cited in Kornhaber, 1999
