What are Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences?

Gardner proposed seven or eight types of intelligences, including linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal.

Why does the speaker criticize multiple intelligences?

The speaker believes that the broad application of the term 'intelligence' confuses its meaning and suggests that talents should be distinguished from intelligence.

What is the importance of construct validity?

Construct validity is essential to demonstrate whether different abilities correlate highly enough to be considered the same intelligence.

What is the unique quality of IQ as a construct?

IQ is noted for having the highest predictive validity in social sciences compared to other constructs.

Zusammenfassung

TLDRThe content discusses the controversial nature of intelligence in psychology, referencing the theories of Bob Sternberg and Howard Gardner. It critiques the broad and often inappropriate use of the term 'intelligence,' particularly in educational psychology, arguing it leads to a diluted understanding. The distinction between talent and intelligence is emphasized, with a call for rigorous construct validity to affirm that different types of intelligence correlate significantly. The speaker concludes with a note on the unique predictive validity of IQ in social sciences.

00:00:00 - 00:04:06
The concept of intelligence is controversial, with psychologists continuously discovering new types. Prominent figures like Bob Sternberg and Howard Gardner proposed practical intelligence and multiple intelligences theory, respectively, impacting educational psychology. Gardner identified various intelligences, leading to debates about their validity. The speaker argues against broadening the definition of intelligence, claiming it dilutes its meaning and confuses it with talents. They emphasize the need for clear distinctions, suggesting construct validity tests and correlations to differentiate intelligence from talent, leading to the assertion that IQ has unparalleled predictive validity in social science.

00:00:00
intelligence is an interesting concept
00:00:02
it's very controversial in fact if
00:00:08
you one of the things that continually
00:00:10
happens over and over again in
00:00:11
Psychology is that psychologists
00:00:13
discover all sorts of new kinds of
00:00:15
intelligence and you know the biggest
00:00:17
two proponents of that sort of thing I
00:00:20
suppose were Bob Sternberg who came up
00:00:22
with this thingy called practical
00:00:23
intelligence and then Howard Gardner who
00:00:25
came up with the theory of multiple
00:00:26
intelligences which had a very large
00:00:29
effect on educational
00:00:31
psychology um when the theory was first
00:00:33
proposed and that's not saying much
00:00:35
because generally speaking it's very
00:00:37
difficult to find a discipline that's
00:00:40
more susceptible to Fabs than
00:00:41
educational psychology and as far as I
00:00:44
can tell generally speaking each fat is
00:00:46
worse than the previous one so you know
00:00:50
Gardner posited that I think there were
00:00:53
seven oh there they are seven or eight
00:00:56
different intelligences linguistic
00:00:58
musical logical mathem ma matical
00:01:00
spatial body kinesthetic intrapersonal
00:01:04
and interpersonal and people talk about
00:01:06
emotional intelligence and they talk
00:01:08
about practical intelligence and as far
00:01:10
as I'm concerned all of that's complete
00:01:12
rubbish and there's technical reasons
00:01:15
for that I mean there's Technical and
00:01:17
philosophical reasons for that the first
00:01:19
thing is you can't just mess up a word
00:01:23
you know the whole point of having a
00:01:24
word is so that it defines some things
00:01:26
it describes some things and doesn't
00:01:28
describe other things right and so you
00:01:30
can you can make the word intelligence
00:01:34
account for whatever you want so you can
00:01:36
say that the ability you dance is a form
00:01:39
of
00:01:40
intelligence but the problem with that
00:01:42
is you blur out the word so badly you
00:01:44
can't tell what it means anymore and so
00:01:46
and I would also point out we had
00:01:48
perfectly good words for those major
00:01:50
intelligences we called them talents and
00:01:53
so it's perfectly reasonable to make a
00:01:55
distinction between a talent and
00:01:57
intelligence now you might say well how
00:01:59
the hell do you know the difference like
00:02:01
if if things look similar to some degree
00:02:04
then how do you know if they're the same
00:02:06
or different well that's exactly what
00:02:08
you do when you do the construct
00:02:09
validity process so let's say you rated
00:02:13
a number of people on their dancing
00:02:15
ability and then you rated the number of
00:02:17
people on their ability to multiply two
00:02:19
digit two two-digit numbers in their
00:02:21
head quickly well then you see
00:02:25
technically if both of those were
00:02:27
intelligences then the people who could
00:02:29
dance Better Could multiply two-digit
00:02:31
numbers faster in their head and that
00:02:34
they would be
00:02:36
slightly positive
00:02:40
sorry see that's what happens when I
00:02:42
don't have any Diet
00:02:43
[Music]
00:02:45
Coke so anyways if intelligence was the
00:02:49
right word to subsume both of those then
00:02:53
what you'd see is there would be a high
00:02:55
correlation the people who were good
00:02:56
dancers would also be the ones who could
00:02:58
multiply most rapidly
00:03:00
and I mean multiply in their head
00:03:05
um but that but you're not going to be
00:03:08
able to extract out a single Factor like
00:03:10
that it's just not it's just not the
00:03:12
case that those things associate like
00:03:14
that so for something to be one
00:03:21
phenomena the things that
00:03:27
it obviously I've talked too much this
00:03:31
semester all the things that are
00:03:34
subsumed under that definition have to
00:03:37
be correlated and highly correlated
00:03:39
because otherwise they're not the same
00:03:41
thing it's the definition of the same
00:03:43
thing now IQ is a very
00:03:47
peculiar
00:03:49
construct a very unique construct from a
00:03:52
psychological perspective but also more
00:03:55
generally from a social science
00:03:56
perspective because
00:03:58
IQ has the most predictive validity of
00:04:01
anything ever discovered in the social
00:04:03
sciences period
