Description
INTRODUCTION The literature on the lay estimates of intelligence spans over more than three decades and is considerable in size. Many studies had been confined to measuring overall intelligence or 'g' (1-4) until the introduction of Gardner's multiple intelligence theory that opened new vistas for researchers. Gardner (5),(6) argued that despite the success of standard IQ in predicting ability in school subjects, it did not highlight the potential/competence of an individual in particular fields of expertise. Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences identifies eight subtypes of intelligence that every normal individual should develop to some degree (linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, musical, bodily-kinesthetic and naturalistic (5). Later, with the merger of cerebral research and cognitive psychology, specific ontological tasks were associated with intelligence. Blyth and Gardner (7) and Gardner (6) came up with two other debatable dimensions to multiple intelligences those being existential and spiritual.
