I know nothing about it other that teachers are taught that there are 8 or 9 different forms of intelligence (depending who's training you). No idea at all if it's contentious.or simplistic.
It they're taught it the way you describe, then it certainly is. It's a way of categorising children and treating them according to those categories, rather than categorising behaviours and seeing that a child might have the potential to learn others. "Hey, kids, you get to play at Myer's Briggs just like the adults."
