This article by Mary Ann Christison discusses the theory of multiple intelligences (MI). "As Gardner (1993:15) states: It is of the utmost importance that we recognize and nurture all of the varied human intelligences, and all of the combinations of intelligences. We are all so different largely because we all have different combinations of intelligences. If we recognize this, I think we will have at least a better chance of dealing appropriately with the many problems we face in the world."
