 | You know Gardner, spending my time in the military during WWI I came to realize that intelligence is an individual's ability to adapt and constructively solve problems in the environment. Its the performance not the capability. | |
|
| Hey Wechsler glad I caught you...I heard you came up with a theory to test the mind and its intelligence... Do you really think it will truly identify the IQ better than Stanford-Binet? | |

| As I said its not their capability its their performance. See if you look here, my theory creates two test one for children, which I've titled Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and one for adults Wechsler's Adult Intelligence Scale. In both I am not looking to measure quantity I am looking to measure performance. My theory is not how much you know its what you know. All though it is one test there are several components which will measure the qualitative different types of intellectual functioning. | |

| I agree! I think that intelligence is the way an individuals produces effectively. Its a set of skills that is needed to help an individual solve life problems. However I don't think it is possible to test this intelligence the same way with each person. So is your theory to test them all the same way? | |

| You, know Gardner......Lets go on over to my office and have a scotch with this old geezer.... I think we can learn a thing or two from each other. | |
|
| Ah! I see..... I think we are on the same.path here. See my theory is that there are multiple intelligence. I believe an individual can have spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,linguistic, naturalist, and existentialist. With this in mind I truly do not believe all of these things can be captured just through a written test. But hey that just my theory... You have been doing this before I... | |
