From Wikinfo
Howard Gardner (born 1943 in Scranton, Pennsylvania)is a cognitive and educational psychologist based at Harvard University best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. In 1981 he was awarded a MacArthur Prize Fellowship.
His most famous book is probably Frames of Mind which outlines seven dimensions of intelligence (Visual / Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Verbal Intelligence, Logical/Mathematical Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, and Bodily / Kinesthetic Intelligence). Traditional intelligence tests only consider verbal and logical/mathematical intelligence.
He recently has written a book, Changing Minds: The Art and Science of Changing Our Own and Other People's Minds.
