I think what makes human intelligence so confusing is that we have two distinct mental faculties, intuition and... reason, for the lack of better word (the Greek word was logos, but we've long forgotten its original meaning). The two combine in different proportions, and the development of both is highly influenced by the individual's experience.

The net result is what looks like multiple kinds of intelligence -- even though under the hood, again, it's just System 1 and System 2.

Isn't it the case that his hypothesis has been shown to not really hold up?

Atleast everything I have read and heard from intelligence researchers (the public ones) seems to suggest so.
