Multiple Intel l igence

What to make of all of this? I say, pay one's respect to school and to

I Q tests, but do not let them dictate one's judgment about an

individual's worth or potential. I n the end, what is important is an

individual's actual achievements in the realms of work and personal lif e.

~ Howard Gardner, Extraordinary Minds, p. 42
