This whole paragraph (Gardner, 2011, p. xix) is a train wreck of scientific logic. Basically, Gardner says because he doesn't want to be a psychometrician, he doesn't have to gather data to multiple intelligences… and the theory isn't testable anyway.#psychology pic.twitter.com/WidBCBcqqb

These are the sort of stupid things that you can only get away with saying if you're a famous Harvard professor, like Howard Gardner (2011, pp. xxi-xxii). #psychology pic.twitter.com/M6qqF9yV3k

The circular reasoning of Howard Gardner's (2011, p. xxxiv) multiple intelligences theory:
"Why does Anne perform well in chess? Because she has high spatial intelligence. How do we know Anne has high spatial intelligence? Look at how good she is at chess!" #psychology pic.twitter.com/8IKqbyTjOq

My odyssey into Gardner's (2011) book about multiple intelligences continues. I'm on the sections about genetics, and it's a train wreck. Here (p. 34) Gardner confuses the universal presence of an ability (like language) with individual differences in the ability. #psychology pic.twitter.com/cl4mXuETIl

Another paragraph (Gardner, 2011, p. 36) based on the level of information available in 1981. Unfortunately, most people reading his book will not be aware of how woefully out of date Gardner's information is. #psychology and #genetics have resolved most of these issues. pic.twitter.com/D13TQU6XX7
