The idea
Spearman's g is one general factor, shown by positive correlations among test items; Sternberg names three intelligences, analytical, creative and practical; Gardner names eight, from linguistic to naturalistic.
In practice
A dancer's talent is bodily-kinesthetic in Gardner's scheme.
Where people slip
Critics find Gardner's intelligences correlate, partly reflecting g, and doubt practical intelligence is distinct from g.
