is wrongheaded in that gardner is simply using the word 'intelligence' where other people have traditionally used words like 'ability' and 'aptitude'.

One major criticism of the theory is that it is ad hoc: that Gardner is not expanding the definition of the word 'intelligence', but rather denies the existence of intelligence as traditionally understood, and instead uses the word 'intelligence' where other people have traditionally used words like 'ability' and 'aptitude'. This practice has been criticized by Robert J. Sternberg,[22][23] Eysenck,[24] and Scare.[25]
