Assessing Intelligences: A Comment on "Testing Intelligence Without I.Q. Tests."

Gardner, Howard

Phi Delta Kappan, v65 n10 p699-700 Jun 1984

The preceding article by Robert Sternberg implicitly accepts the idea that there is a single human potential called "intelligence" that is scientifically measurable.
