Howard Gardner argues that a single measure of intelligence of a pobal score, does not accurately reflect an individual's overall mental ability. Moreover, he maintains that intelligence must be defined within the context of a particular culture. Let's mume we are trying to understand the mental abilities of two adulto-one from the United States, the other from an uncontacted be in the Brazilian rainforest. Mernbers of
uncontacted tribes date only with one another and have no interaction with the outside world. Would standard intelligence test, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Sale (WAIS, provide us with an accurate
understanding of both overall mental abilities? Would the types of sills that we considered a reflection of Intelligent behavior in the United States apply to the adult in the uncontacted tribe! As you reflect on
these two questions, comider Gardner's position that intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or create products that we valued within one or more cultural settings

Which types of intelligence do you think best characterize your tueles?
