Text Box: Quotable: "In my view, if we are to encompass adequately the realm of human cognition, it is necessary to include a far wider and more universal set of competences than has ordinarily been considered. And it is necessary to remain open to the possibility that many - if not most - of these competences do not lend themselves to measurement by standard verbal methods, which rely very heavily on a blend of logic and linguistic abilities."   Dr. Howard Gardner, Harvard University
