** Contextualized Multiple Intelligences: They refer to Technological Intelligence, Economic Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Political Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, and Learning Intelligence. Please see Cheng (2000) for the detail. This conceptualization or classification is different from that proposed by Howard Gardner (1993). He suggested that there are seven human intelligences, including musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence.
