I learned about them when I got a teaching degree. I don't know if they are widely accepted by psychologists, but teachers learn about them because we have to understand that students are skilled in some areas and weak in others. We have to adapt our teaching to different styles of learning.

IQ measures a different type of intelligence. There is nothing wrong with using IQ as one way to measure intelligence, and a method like Gardner's to measure other intelligences. And yes, there is the equivalent of an Athletic Quotient with Gardner's Intelligences.
