I'm assuming you know of Gardner?
Nope. Thanks. Those intelligences are all very broad - kinesthetic intelligence exists, and can make you rich; but it's not of interest to me in this context. It doesn't surprise me that someone can be a great baseball player, a great musician, a great poet, or a great painter or architect, and still say stupid things. The only ones listed by Gardner that interest me in this context are Linguistic, Mathematical, and Intrapersonal.
I don't think "naturalistic" and "musical" intelligence belong even in Gardner's list. Those are skills people practice.
Do you think Gardner's theory solves the problem Phil puts forth? If so, how? Or are you saying "maybe it solves it, maybe it doesn't, but it's related, so let's look at it for extra insight into the problem"?
Ah, right. Let me clarify. I'm just saying that it's clearly related. Lots of relevant research on this question has been done in the context of Gardner's theory.
I am skeptical of the claim that Gardner has a theory. Lots of papers cite Gardner, but I am skeptical of the claim that it is useful to label them "research."
