The theory of multiple intelligences (MI) is a pseudoscientific^[1][2][3][4] theory which proposes the differentiation of human intelligence into specific distinguishable multiple intelligences, in contrast to the prevailing theory of general intelligence, which defines it as a single general ability. Despite its lack of general acceptance by the psychological community, since 1983, the theory has been popular among educators around the world.
