What’s NEW at MI Research?

Welcome to home of The MIDAS Profile!
After 35 years of building The MIDAS the time has come to let others carry on with the mission of bringing the power of Multiple Intelligences to the world. MIDAS Profiles are now available from aMI in the Netherlands (English and Dutch), Psychological Publishing Company in Taiwan and Nurture Craft in Singapore.
My thanks to all who have made this work possible over the years!

In 1983 Howard Gardner published his landmark book, FRAMES OF MIND, that changed how people think about human intelligence. It has been a been a long and fascinating 40 year journey as people around the world have engaged with the idea that there are at least eight distinct forms of intelligence. What has been the impact on you, your work, schools, students or clients? I will post a series of reflections and essays and send out the MI@40 Newsletter over the course of 2023. Your responses are invited!


MIDAS Publication and Certification in Netherlands
The Association for Multiple Intelligences (aMI) team in the Netherlands is now managing The MIDAS Profile in both Dutch and English. Contact- Frits Schoeren for information. https://www.stichtingami.nl/ aMI and Helga Hohn are also providing MIDAS certification for professional users. These workshops will ensure that The MIDAS is used and administered faithfully for the benefit of individuals and organizations. Currently, the Level 4: Master Mentor guidelines are under development.
C-MIDAS in Taiwan and Mainland China
Eric Lin And Wu-tien Wu at Psychological Publishing Company are working hard to bring the C-MIDAS simplified Chinese language version to mainland China that is valid and reliable. Stay tuned!
