A reworking of the concept of intelligence to place less emphasis on mathematics and English language knowledge by Howard Gardner (1983). Includes separate intelligences in eight general areas such as arts, physical ability, and personal skills. Initially, a valid recognition that there may be more ways to be intelligent than just mathematics and English prowess, but has been misapplied and commercialized by faddish educational schools to assuage parental concern about children's meager performance in math and Languages and discredit standard IQ testing.
