When we talk about ____, some people have the idea that intelligence is what we need to answer general ____ questions, such as What is the capital of Venezuela? or How many legs does a spider have? And when somebody knows the answers to all those questions, we say they're really clever or that they know a lot. The idea is that you're clever if you know a lot of facts and ____. However, most ____ would say that this is only one part or type of intelligence. There are other ways that we can think of intelligence, for example the ____ that you need in order to find answers to questions that you've never seen before, or to ____ new concepts. This brings us to the American ____ Howard Gardner. Gardner says that there isn't just one type of intelligence. There are what he calls ____ intelligences'. He talks about seven different types of intelligence, shown in the table opposite. Of course, each of us may be ____ strong in more than just one of these intelligence ____. When you look at the table, you can see that Gardner's multiple intelligences ____ everything we do in our lives and is a much more ____ and realistic way of thinking about intelligence. For example, we all know people who aren't so good linguistically, but who are very strong in logic or mathematics. We would probably all ____ that this doesn't ____ one person is more intelligent than another. They're both intelligent, but in different ways, with different strengths. One important reason for it not being very easy to ____ intelligence is because it all ____ on what type of intelligence we're talking about. The good news is that most of Gardner's intelligences can be ____. With practice, you can learn to see things in a more ____ or logical way, or you can learn to ____ literature or music. It is possible for children to become great musicians if they start early, and there are many ____ or multilingual children in the world. The interesting thing here is that your life ____ can make a big difference to your intelligence. If a child lives in an ____ where they speak two languages they'll learn to understand and speak them. If somebody has ____ to a musical instrument and has lessons, we naturally ____ them to learn more than somebody who doesn't. So intelligence is not just a question of being born intelligent. The environment you live in can make a huge ____.
