[edit] Merge

I suggest Naturalist Intelligence be merged into this article, anyone object Aspensti 01:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There is no corresponding discussion on Gardner's page concerning the other intelligences. Merging this into the page would create an imbalance of content. I suggest keeping it separate, but labelled as a stub, or creating a larger page with similar detail on all of his suggested intelligences. --Aaronp808 18:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree that adding Naturalist Intelligence creates an imbalance. Especially now that it has been officially added to the "list" (see Intelligence Reframed). Detail concerning the suggested intelligences would add appopriate depth. I further suggest that his work within the realms of creativity, arts, and leadership be expounded. It could also be noted the tremendous influence of Lev Vygotsky, Jerome Bruner, and Nelson Goodman on his work.74.193.1.242 21:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Matthew A. Foster

No, let it stay. I am sure this will grow as other scientists add their two cents. Dane Sorensen

No merge, it will be too confusing. futurebird 04:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I've merged Naturalist Intelligence into Theory of multiple intelligences, where there was already a subcategory of that classification. I think that made the most sense, it certainly didn't belong here. --Jackson 15:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
