Single Intelligence vs Multiple Intelligences

The attempt to understand different learning and thinking styles is based on different arguments with respect to the nature of intelligence. Such arguments traditionally fall into two camps of thought, those who argue in favor of a single intelligence and those who argue in favor of multiple intelligences. At the turn of the 20th century, Charles Spearman conducted tests that resulted in his general intelligence factor, or ôgö theory of single intelligence (Paik 2003, 2). Near the end of the 20th century, Howard Gardner proposed a new theory of intelligence, including a model of multiple intelligences in which he theorized there are actually seven types of intelligence: linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and logico-mathematical (Paik 2003).

SpearmanÆs single intelligence model was based on the result of studies he conducted on intelligence that demonstrated a correlation between different tests of cognitive ability.
