Description
Abstract
The independence of multiple intelligences (MI) of Gardner’s theory has been debated since its
conception. This article examines whether the one- factor structure of the MI theory tested in previous
studies is invariant for low and high ability students. Two hundred ninety-four children (aged 5 to
7) participated in this study. A set of Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence assessment tasks based on the
Spectrum Project was used. To analyze the invariance of a general dimension of intelligence, the
different models of behaviours were studied in samples of participants with different performance on
the Spectrum Project tasks with Multi-Group Confi rmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA). Results suggest
an absence of structural invariance in Gardner’s tasks. Exploratory analyses suggest a three-factor
structure for individuals with higher performance levels and a two-factor structure for individuals with
lower performance levels.
