Brain research as forever shattered the myth of fixed intelligence. We are NOT born with a single fixed “intelligence quotient” or IQ. Each of us has the potential to develop at least eight different intelligences.

Prof. Howard Gardner of Harvard university is responsible for developing the concept of "Multiple Intelligences". The implications for education are far reaching. We should no longer ask "How smart are you?" but "How are you smart?". Every individual has a different intelligence profile so we all learn differently. Therefore we have to provide a learning environment to suit all the learning styles.
