Frames of Mind (book)

"Frames of Mind," written by Howard Gardner, introduces the theory of multiple intelligences, suggesting that traditional views of intelligence, often measured by IQ tests, are too narrow. Gardner identifies eight distinct types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, and interpersonal, among others. This framework highlights that individuals have varied strengths and ways of learning. Instead of a single cognitive ability, each person possesses a unique blend of intelligences that influences how they process information and interact with the world. The book encourages a broader understanding of human capabilities beyond conventional academic success.
