Here Be Dragons By Gardner In Jung

In this book by Clara A. Cantu and Lilia M. Ruben, the many theories of Multiple Intelligences are discussed. They focus on the idea that there are many different intelligences compared to just one. Therefore, an architect is not simply smart, but based on Gardner's theory, is Logically- mathematically, and spatially intelligent. While a diplomat would be considered interpersonally and naturalistically intelligent. Gardner is just one of the theorists discussed. Others include Guilford, Sternberg, and Renzulli. A widely notable theme found in each theory is the idea that we need a basic understanding and usage of all intelligences to be successful. Even if we focus and excel in one area, we should not discredit the others.

In her article, Gardner

It is assumed that intelligence is the measure of how well/ fast we problem solve, take tests, and follow standardized rules. This is an assumption because the true definition of intelligence is not provided, just this idea of what it is. The article also talks about basic intelligence being as old as time itself. This contradicts Jung’s first assumption because as humans were learning and evolving, they did not have set rules, in fact they had to change and adapt to survive. This also assumes that intelligence means the same thing to everyone. Not everyone may feel that intelligence is simply a measure of our problem solving and ability to take tests. Some other intelligence like survival smarts and creative intellect could have been explored.

IQ and EQ are of equal importance in having a successful life. Both intelligences aid in bettering a person's social, personal, and career life. In the article IQ or EQ by Cherry K. the importance of one over the other is explored. IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient and is widely viewed as the measurement of one’s intelligence. This is a number derived from a standardized test focusing on the ability to spatially process, memorize, have knowledge of the world and so forth. In paragraph three, Kendra Cherry

In the article by Dean Simonton titled Reverse Engineering genius: Historiometric studies of superlative talent, the difference in tests of intelligence are explored. The article tells us that the term “genius” came from Lewis M. Terman who initiated the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale. Terman believed that any child with an IQ of 140 or above would become geniuses. However, ironically, none of the children he tested for his book went on to accomplish great things.While Some of the students who were excluded from the study went on to win Nobel Prizes. Cox, another researcher came to recognize this and decided on a new approach. Cox introduced the idea of Intelligence versus Eminence. Eminence being defined as “Fame of recognized superiority, especially within a particular sphere or profession” (wikipedia pg.1). Cox decided that she would try to perform a study that connected the two. The only way to accomplish this was to test domain specifically. For example “Mozart's IQ was based on his precocity in musical intelligence, whereas Pascal's IQ was based on his precocity in mathematical intelligence. Mozart likely would have gotten a low IQ score were he judged in mathematical development, just as Pascal likely would have received a low IQ score if evaluated in musical growth. Hence, rather than assessing general intelligence, Cox was evaluating domain-specific intelligence in a manner more
