Abstract
All the sciences and technologies must be committed to serve humanity. Sciences can be divided into two broad categories as definitive (explicit) and probable (implicit) sciences. In definitive sciences the fact is given by the Lord and the human being tries to understand it and apply it in his/her life using the intelligence and wisdom bestowed to him/her. In the probable sciences, however, the fact is not given and s/he tries to discover it through the guidance of the wisdom. The human being is loaded with senses and emotions, each of which requires satisfaction. Education is a way of teaching individuals how to live in harmony with the environment and train them how to become useful citizens. Each individual has different capabilities and intelligences in various forms and levels. You can maximize the benefits of education if you can discover the type of intelligence that the person owns and accordingly adopt educational technologies to suit his/her requirements.
