  4. What do the critics say? • It’s not new. Critics of multiple intelligences theory maintain that Gardner’s work isn’t groundbreaking – that what he calls “intelligences” are primary abilities that educators and cognitive psychologists have always acknowledge.

  5. It isn’t well defined. Some critics wonder if the number of “intelligences” will continue to increase. These opposing theorists believe that notions such as bodily-kinesthetic or musical ability represent individual aptitude or talent rather than intelligence. Critics also believe that MI theory lacks the rigor and precision of a real science.
