Introduction Researchers and scholars have conducted a myriad of studies to make inquiries on life’s deepest questions whose answers have proved quite elusive to many inquisitive minds. Ancient philosophers and psychologists sought to tackle issues that perplexed the populace of the world’s nations. They accomplished this goal by rolling out a plethora of inventions and postulating theories and theorems that attempted to bring meaning to some of life’s fundamental questions. The perception of humans as intelligent beings isolated from other animals has elicited immense attention from different quarters. Studies have revealed that human beings possess a quality called ‘intelligence’. Gardner defines it as “the ability to solve problems or create products that are valued in one or more cultural environments” (5). With such a definition in place, Howard went ahead to propose a theory that has been generally acclaimed worldwide, viz. the theory of Multiple Intelligence. The focus of this research paper is to examine the eight forms of intelligence as proposed by Howard Gardner in his theory to see if they are existent within the domains of human existence. The concept of Human Intelligence After introducing the theory, Howard was quick to point out that an educator was in a better position to show the world how this theory worked (McKenzie 11). Intelligence is a complex concept, which many scholars attempted to explain before Howard’s theory, with little success. Psychologists were the first to attempt to define intelligence in a manner that Howard came to perceive later as a form of technical intelligence. The concept has since evolved and over the years, psychologists such as J.P. Guilford came to suggest that there existed various factors or components within the larger concept of intelligence (Gardner 6). Howard developed the idea of multiple intelligences by building on the ideas of the pioneering psychologists. The pioneers merely hinted that there were components to intelligence, but Howard went ahead to develop what came to be known as the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. He coined it to cover all the abilities that a well-developed human being will exhibit at a given age. Notably, a young child is not a prodigy at birth, but s/he develops the mastery of his or her various faculties as s/he grows. Mother’s lap “is the first school of learning… A child has got a very warm contact with her mother and due to this strong and lasting contact a mother’s behavior, her socialization, her language, and her education exercises a very deep influence on a child personality, and thus a child cognitive abilities and intelligence are directly affected” (Shahzada 373). In this statement, Shahzada propagates the idea that the development of a child’s faculties is subject to the immediate external environment. The effect of the external environment on an individual especially of tender age is what tends to bring out the full manifestation of such an individual’s intelligence. The forms of Intelligence In his theory of Multiple Intelligences, Howard examined the concept of intelligence and came up with the following eight forms of intelligences, which have largely been advocated by proponents of his theory. They include “verbal or linguistic intelligence, logical or mathematical intelligence, visual or spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence and naturalistic intelligence” (Shahzada 375).
