Society promotes the idea that a person of color can never be at the same or higher intellectual level than a white person. The stereotype is that the white person is the most intelligent among all other races. This is to ensure that white people dominate society and hold all important positions in society. Intelligence has been one of the most exciting areas of research in education, and the human brain is still considered a black box. Women are better than men in specific areas of intelligence. Intelligence and genetics are falsely used to support the idea that race is something that gives some people power over others. In the traditional sense, intelligence has generally had the connotation of mathematical-logical intelligence. The situation changed after 1983, when after years of research the theory of multiple intelligence (MI) was proposed by a Harvard psychologist, Howard Gardner. In his MI theory, he differentiated seven types of intelligences as follows: logical-mathematical intelligence, verbal-linguistic intelligence, musical-rhythmic intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. Women are better verbal and linguistic while men are more logical. Menevis states that “it is possible to state that female students tend to use both hemispheres of the brain, with a dominance on the right side, and this pattern of use causes the significant differences that we found regarding verbal-linguistic language, body- kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic intelligences for girls in our society” (Social Behavior and Personality, 16). According to the theory of left or right hemisphere dominance, each side of the brain controls half of the paper and are more easily able to empathize with other people.
