88. What makes the multiple intelligence theory strong and useful in a classroom is the fact that it can
be used for any subject and at any level. Each student comes to a classroom as an individual who
has developed a different type of intelligence. This means that each student has their own
intelligence superiorities and weaknesses. Called a learning style, these intelligence domains
determine how easily or with difficulty a student can learn through a specific teaching method.
There can be more than one learning style present in a classroom. To balance learning styles and
subject matter, a teacher should show students how to understand a subject which addresses one
of the weak intelligence domains by applying their most developed intelligence domain. For
instance, a student who has highly developed musical intelligence can be ask to learn about a war
and what happened during that war by making a song about it. (Temur, 2007).
Moreover, students who apply the strong fields of intelligence in learning activities can learn a
subject that they used to hate with joy and without pressure.
As another example, mathematics is considered to be a tough subject for many
students due to the abstract concepts they have to learn. However, when such concepts are
explained through a learning activity that implement students' intelligences, students will find it
more interesting and more fun because it is given as something they love to do. Students can learn
mathematics by drawing, dancing, blogging and much more. A whole curriculum can be created
with activities based on multiple intelligence in a way that develops different fields of intelligence
for each student; such curriculum will be more student-centered. Students will then discover the
best ways by which they are able to receive the information.

89. He was the first psychologist who formalized the concept of intelligence in terms of mental
operations. He developed what most psychologists today regard as the first intelligence test,
which consisted of a wide variety of questions that included the ability to name objects, define
words, draw pictures, complete sentences, compare items and construct sentences. He believed
that the questions he asked the children or assist the basic abilities to understand, reason, and
 make judgments. It turns out that the correlations among these different types of measures were in
fact all positive; that is, students who got one item correct were more likely to also get other items
correct, even though the questions themselves were very different.
