*[[Intelligence trends in religious countries and secular countries]]
[[Howard Gardner]] at [[Harvard University]] developed the [[theory of multiple intelligences]] which has identified various distinct intelligences: interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, musical–rhythmic, bodily–kinesthetic, and naturalistic.<ref>Lane, Carla. [http://www.tecweb.org/styles/gardner.html "Multiple Intelligences"]. Excerpt from "The Distance Learning Technology Resource Guide". Retrieved from The Education Coalition website on October 26, 2014.</ref> Gardner later suggested that [[moral intelligence]] may merit being included in his multiple intelligence model.<ref>Smith, Mark K.
