Intelligence testing has been a topic of considerable debate among psychologists. A key issue in this debate is the distinction between different types of intelligence measurements and how they relate to overall cognitive ability. Among the various models that aim to define and measure intelligence, one particular approach emphasizes the role of multiple distinct abilities rather than a single overarching intelligence factor. This theory contradicts the traditional perspective advocated by early intelligence test developers.

Which of the following theories primarily focuses on the idea of multiple intelligences and suggests that individuals possess varying levels of different types of intelligences?
