This deals with responses to novelty. Thus one's intelligence is best understood on this dimension by tests and problems that are novel and new. Further, one's responses to novelty does depend on automatic information processing - that is, the application of familiar strategies to familiar tasks. Through automatic processing one is freed cognitively to attend to other more novel and unfamiliar tasks.
Gardner's Views - Intelligence is not a single quality but made up of several autonomous intelligencies. Intelligence is more diverse and multifaceted than ordinary intelligence tests measure. Eg, in the case of brain surgery, the fact that linguistic intelligence may be spared is evidence for a separate linguistic intelligence, or in the case of Savants whose remarkable ability yet show subnormal general intelligence, suggests a distinct math ability. Gardner proposes at least seven distinct intelligences - linguistic, logical - mathematical musical, spatial, bodily - Kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences.
