Where I think this could help is in primary education. Particularly in the design of a bespoke curriculum or self guided-study. Taking into account the multitudes and variety of intelligences that can emerge in a population.

But the real money quote from the article, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading: "The idea of cutting people up into groups is problematic."
