measuring the multiple intelligences

I realized instantly once we dispersed into groups to begin working on presenting a certain intelligence, upon instruction and natural inclination, we began to interpret and express the intelligences tangibly. It is understandable that when something is made tangible, it is easier to understand but if we speak of intelligence as an abstract concept then we cannot measure it tangibly but must look at it from an abstract view. Likewise, if we believe intelligence to be accurately measurable, such activities like drawing a picture to represent picture/spatial intelligence or performing a skit to represent body/kinesthetic intelligence would be adequate. To mix-n-match the two, would run us directly into the issue we attempt to tackle in the first place, whether intelligence is measurable. That being said, intelligence itself must be tackled as a concept and through comprehension and definition the question as to whether it can be measured will have it's answer. Or will it haha?
