Summary/Abstract: The theory of multiple intelligences claims that each person has all the types of intelligences. These intelligences, combined into the so-called profile of intelligences, interact, merge and operate together. Individuals differ in the profile of intelligences to a lesser or greater extent and in the ways in which such intelligences are combined to carry out different tasks or solve problems. Some of the intelligences are better developed than the others which means that each individual has their strong and weak points. According to Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, it is important how the child understands the world. That is why Gardner’s theory has particularly inspired teachers and educators. Thanks to understanding of a full array of the child’s cognitive abilities, certain steps can be taken to enhance the child’s development.
