Gardners theory explains that intelligence is general, one person that is smart is smart in everything.
Thurtsone's theory is called the multiple intelligence theory, it claims that intelligence is not general, but it has 7 distinct abilities instead of just one general intelligence.

Thurston's theory of intelligence incorporated 7 distinct abilities:
spacial, perceptual, numerical, verbal, memory, word fluency, and reasoning while Gardner believed human intelligence also included multiple, but innumerable intelligences.
