Reply to Kara on Intelligence.
Hi Kara! Yes!! I agree that there are multiple forms of intelligence. Howard Gardner describes seven dimensions: Spatial, Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences ). Also, Perkins speaks of neural, experiential, and reflective intelligence (http://otec.uoregon.edu/intelligence.htm ). Both these pages are quick reads. So, IDI scores should include a social/historical/current events component in addition to critical thinking and things like that. Thanks! Todd
