Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences posits that there are at least eight independent intelligences (including linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic) and that each must be defined within a particular cultural context. It does not support the idea of a single factor or three types of intelligence.
