Find a pen or pencil, have a seat, and take an IQ test. Even better, look one up on the internet. Hours…or even...

Howard Gardner’s ideas on multiple intelligences have had most appeal in the classroom where they confirm what teachers know from their everyday experience, namely that pupils have different skills and capabilities.
