THEORIST OF INTELLIGENCE

• “The capacity of individuals

to acquire and advance

knowledge reflects the

priorities and opportunities

that society presents in a

cultural domain.”

HOWARD GARDNER

• Intelligence is seen as a

flexible, culturally dependent

construct and as such it

reflects a social constructivist

perspective.
