ABSTRACT

Four colleagues agreed to respond to the original article entitled “Les intelligences multiples de Gardner. Découverte du siècle ou simple rectitude politique?” [“Gardner’s multiple intelligences. Discovery of the century or simple political rectitude?”]. The wisdom of their comments helps shed light on the many features of the model. In response to their comments, we will initially present two examples of the model’s exaggerated claims: one related to bodily-kinesthetic intelligence and one with regard to musical intelligence. We will then demonstrate that strong intellectual skills such as those measured by IQ tests give individuals access to a certain power. Finally, the fact that educators have been won over by the Gardner model is entirely understandable given that it can be perceived as a message of hope for children experiencing difficulties at school. However, educators fail to realize two things. The first is that logical-mathematical intelligence and linguistic intelligence are crucial for acquiring the vast majority of academic knowledge. The second fact that educators tend to forget is that the teaching applications of the Gardner model are more often based on anecdotal evidence and personal accounts than on systematic empirical research.
