"Judged in terms of the eight criteria proposed in Frames of Mind...the naturalist’s intelligence proves as firmly entrenched as the other intelligences...Just as most ordinary children readily master language at an early age, so too are most children predisposed to explore the world of nature...While certain individuals are gifted in recognizing naturalistic patterns, others are impaired in this respect." - Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century, Author        Howard E. Gardner
