"Multiple Intelligences" is an educational theory developed by Haward Gardner, it is about the cognititve profile and the relation that it has with the learning process, Multiple Intelligences states that each person has different abilities to understand the world and to learnd about it.

There are eight diferent kinds: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal and intrapersonal and Naturalistic

Multiple Intelligences main goal is to help the teachers to understand that every person has different ways to learn and those ways are related with expecific abilities that each one can have, it is necesary to understand that those abilities are developed in different levels for each person.

Using Multiple Intelligences theory in the classroom has many benefits:
As a teacher and learner you realize that there are many ways to be "smart"
All forms of intelligence are equally celebrated.
By having students create work that is displayed to parents and other members of the community, your school could see more parent and community involvement.
A sense of increased self-worth may be seen as students build on their strengths and work towards becoming an expert in certain areas
Students may develop strong problem solving skills that they can use real life situations

I like this definition of "Multiple intelligences."
Taking this theory as a way to "eliminate" the sterotypes of the traditional intelligence's conception, it's a great way to give learners self-confidence and motivation.
