If a psychologist wanted to evaluate Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, they would need to perform assessments of the modalities of intelligence posited by Gardner. These include musical/rhythmic/harmonic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, naturalistic, and existential. The answer is Correlations between performance on various intellectual or cognitively-demanding tasks.
