In his book ‘Frames of Mind’, he pointed out that he did not believe there was "one form of cognition which cuts across all human thinking." There are multiple intelligences with autonomous intelligence capacities. " So, intelligence cannot be viewed as a single entity.

• Gardner initially proposed eight types of intelligence, which later on he increased to nine. Thus, Gardner views each individual as a unique combination of various intelligences; hence, we cannot say that one is more intelligent and another is less intelligent.
