I reject the notion that human beings have a single intelligence, which can be drawn on for the full range of problem solving.

If I know you're very good in music, I can predict with just about zero accuracy whether you're going to be good or bad in other things.

No academic ever expects to be taken seriously by more than three other people, because really, we write for three people in our field.

A continuing conversation with other persons, with cultural products, and with oneself, is a large part of what it means to be a human being, in our time and perhaps in all time.

I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc.

What is usually called 'intelligence' refers to the linguistic and logical capacities that are valued in certain kinds of school and for certain school-like tasks. It leaves little if any room for spatial intelligence, personal intelligences, musical intelligence, etc.

To ask "Where in your brain is intelligence?" is like asking "Where is the voice in the radio?"
