Joseph, a Harvard Law School student, has a straight-A average, writes for the Harvard Law Review, and will clerk for a Supreme Court justice next year. His grandmother, Judith, is very proud of him, saying that he is way more intelligent than she ever was. But Joseph is also very proud of Judith: As a young woman, she was imprisoned by the Nazis. When the war ended, she walked out of Germany, contacted an agency helping refugees, and began a new life in the United States as an assistant chef in her cousin's restaurant. According to the definition of intelligence in this module, is Joseph the only intelligent person in this story? Why or why not?
Gardner believed that there are eight intelligences: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily- kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist. Individuals with the condition of savant syndrome exemplify his theory because they may score low on traditional intel- ligence tests, but have an extraordinary skill such as musical ability. Gardner might describe Shervin as having high logical-mathematical and linguistic intelligence, and Hany as having high musical and bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Sternberg's triarchic intelligence theory describes intelligence as a combination of three independent factors: creative, academic, and practical intelligence. Sternberg might predict that Shervin would score high in academic intelligence and Hany might score high in creative intelligence. According to Spearman's general intelligence theory, each individual has a general, underlying mental abil- ity that can be measured. Spearman defined (and measured) intelligence as this general ability, which expresses itself on different mental tasks. For example, if an individual is above average academically in English, then he will most likely be at least average, if not above average academically in other subjects as well (such as math). Spearman might predict that Shervin would score high on his test of general intelligence, but Hany would not since creativity in music and dance is not included as an aspect or expression of intelligence.
