y The term intelligence is not defined easily. It is defined

in various ways. It is used in attempts to evaluate and measure actual or potential ability to perform selected tasks by complex learning and thinking. In the popular usage, the concept refers to variation in the ability to learn, to get along in society, and to behave according to social expectations.
y It is the capacity to understand the world, think

rationally, and use resources effectively when faced with challenges.

Howard Gardner (1993) developed his theory of multiple intelligences as a direct challenge to what he calls the classical view of intelligence as a capacity for logical reasoning. Gardner was struck by the variety of adult roles in different cultures, roles that depend on a variety of skill and abilities yet are equally important to successful functioning in those cultures. His observations led him to conclude that there is no just one underlying mental capacity, or g , but a variety of intelligences that work in combination.
