🧠 Multiple Intelligences

Unlocking Every Mind’s Unique Potential

📚 Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences

In 1983, renowned Harvard psychologist Dr. Howard Gardner challenged the traditional view of intelligence as a single, fixed IQ. He introduced the revolutionary concept of Multiple Intelligences, proposing that each person possesses a unique blend of various intelligences—not just academic or logical ability.

According to Gardner, intelligence is not one-size-fits-all. Some people are naturally inclined toward music, while others excel in communication, physical movement, nature, or interpersonal skills. Recognizing and nurturing these differences can transform learning, relationships, and career growth.

DMIT is based on this scientific principle, offering a deeper, personalized understanding of one’s natural abilities and learning styles.
