Read the text and fill in the gaps (1 - 5) with the correct sentences (A - F). One sentence is extra. Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Who is the smartest person you know? The student who always gets top marks at school? Maybe it’s the man who can fix anything, the woman who is a surgeon, or the boy who can have an interesting conversation with anyone, about anything. 1 . In fact, Dr Howard Gardner from Harvard University in the USA, has developed a theory about this – the Multiple Intelligences Theory. According to Dr Gardner, there are eight types of intelligence. 2 . Which is your strongest intelligence? You can guess, but there is no official MI test. 3 . They’re combined with what you’re interested in, what you enjoy and your general personality. This has caused some people to criticize Gardner’s theory – they prefer a way of testing intelligence that can be easily measured, like IQ. But humans are complicated. 4 . So, of course, the ways we think and learn are complicated and different, too. This is the reason why Gardner’s theory is so important for teacher and students. 5 . Some students read and learn, some watch and learn, some do and learn. There is no ‘right’ way or ‘wrong’ way –it all depends on how your brain processes information. The best thing to do is find what works for you. As the Greek philosopher said, “To know yourself is the beginning of wisdom.” If you can discover which type of intelligence you have, and work with it, who knows? You could be the smartest person you know!

A All of us have several types, but usually one is stronger than the others.
B It suggests that not everybody learns in the same way.
C The theory first appeared in 1983 in the book Frames of Mind.
D We have values and hopes and dreams, and we are all different.
E It’s difficult to say who is the smartest of all, because there are many different ways of being clever.
F This is because these intelligences are hard to measure.
