All Human Beings Have All Of The Intelligences. But We Differ, For Both Genetic And Experiential Reasons, In Our Profile Of Intelligences At Any Moment.

We Should Spend Less Time Ranking Children And More Time Helping Them To Identify Their Natural Competencies And Gifts And Cultivate These. There Are Hundreds And Hundreds Of Ways To Succeed And Many, Many Different Abilities That Will Help You Get There.

Kids Go To School And College And Get Through, But They Don't Seem To Really Care About Using Their Minds. School Doesn't Have The Kind Of Long Term Positive Impact That It Should.

It May Well Be Easier To Remember A List If One Sings It (or Dances To It). However, These Uses Of The 'materials' Of An Intelligence Are Essentially Trivial. What Is Not Trivial Is The Capacity To Think Musically.

I Think That Any Important Educational Goal Can Be Realized Via Several Routes.
