Multiple Intelligences
Multiple Intelligences
The intelligence that I relate the most in Gardner’s theory is Interpersonal. I enjoy spending time with my friends and talking about everything. I always try to understand and help others as much as I can. It has never bother me to listen to peoples issues and it makes me want to find the best solution for them. Its like a challenge that I’m always willing to accomplish.
The weakest type of intelligence that I have is Logical- Mathematical. I have never enjoy math it takes me a while to understand and solve the problems. Mathematics are very important in our lives so I’ve learned to understand the basic math to use it in my daily life. However, just to think about going back to algebra and geometry classes gives me a headache.
Most of my group members similarities are in Interpersonal. We all feel comfortable listening and we try to understanding others as well. We also seem to be aware of and expressing feelings. One of my groups members first choice was Naturalistic. Which in my case would be one the weakest to be applied, I don’t enjoy studying plants, animals, forest, or oceans. I do enjoy going to all this places and experiencing the nature of them. Another member of my group weakest choice was Bodily- Kinesthetic and I do agree with her I also have sometimes a hard time understanding things that are being explained visually. I prefer learning through doing things than just listening, practice makes me have a better understanding of everything.
Gardner argues that schools should give mores attention to the development of all eight kinds of intelligence. (pg. 87) I believe that for most schools to focus on this eight kinds of

intelligence they will have to be a private school. Unfortunately not all schools provide students with programs that will focus on the eight kinds of intelligence and that can be one of the reasons to be better at them.
Musical classes were not provided in my school because there was enough

    Logical intelligence also includes sensitivity to logical patterns, relationships, statements and similar abstractions. It extends to categorising, classifying, inferring, generalizing, testing of hypothesis and calculating. As a result, learners who are highly developed towards logic and mathematics enjoy reasoning, like organizing, classifying, interpreting information, enjoy working with numbers and they like scientific problem solving. Educators must give these learners experiments to do and present them with situation in which they have to discover patterns.…

    5. Do you think that support for nurturing newly identified types of intelligence such as bodily-kinesthetic and musical will lead to less emphasis on the more traditional types of intelligences, such as linguistic and logical-mathematical? Yes, because most people's strong points are not in the traditional school subjects such as math, history, science, and literature.…

    Chapter 12 is about individuality. 3 of the main focuses are multiple intelligences, preferences, and temperament. These three aspects are reflective strategies that can contribute to self-understanding and classifying you personality. The term multiple intelligences is used by Gardner, an education psychologist, to differentiate human talents into categories. While most education psychologist agree that intelligence is biological, Gardner claims that intelligence can also be influence by one culture or surrounding. The types of multiple intelligence includes logical-mathematical, linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential(proposed). The chapter also offers activities that enhance each of the intelligences. In example, the multiple intelligence I most relate to is interpersonal intelligence. One activity that is recommended I do to enhance my intelligence is to engage in multicultural experience, which I already do through local art projects. In my career I meet people from many different backgrounds with the most interesting stories. Through this I learn…

    The first assessment, Multiple Pathways to Learning, helps an individual determine the value of each one of eight different types of intelligences (2007). Of the eight different types of intelligences, the author scored highest on logical-mathematical and verbal-linguistic. The logical-mathematical individual will operate very directly in a logically, organized manner. The individual will collaborate well with assignments that require analytical skills and scientific reasoning (2007). The best way to communicate with this individual is through direct contact with a logically presented plan. The verbal-linguistic intelligence is great for written assignments. The individual with this intelligence will excel with explaining an assignment and understanding word meaning and syntax (2007). This individual will do best with assignments that require creative writing and persuasive arguments. The best way to communicate with this individual effectively is to speak with him or her directly. Allow this individual to share their thoughts regarding a subject, he or she will explain it very well. Another type of intelligence and one the author scored lowest is the naturalistic intelligence. The individual with a naturalistic intelligence has a deep understanding and connection with…

    In 1983 a professor of education at Harvard University, Dr. Howard Gardner, developed the theory of multiple intelligences. This theory states that there are eight different ways in which a person is intelligent. These different forms of intelligence are as follows: linguistic, or word smart; logical-mathematic, or reasoning/numbers smart; spatial, or picture smart; bodily-kinesthetic, or body smart; musical, or music smart; intrapersonal, or self-smart; and naturalist, or nature smart (“Multiple Intelligences” para. 1-2). It is not difficult to pinpoint which of these intelligences standardized testing primarily measures. For students who are not linguistically or mathematically gifted, the tests do not accurately show the students’…

    In this paper I will compare and contrast Spearman 's Model of Intelligence and Gardner 's Multiple Intelligence models. One theory of intelligence states that there is one general school of thought and the other theory believes there are multiple schools of thought. Spearman 's general ability, or a "g" factor, believe that this is the only factor that measures intelligence, whereas, Gardner 's multiple intelligence believes there are more than one factor (Wade & Tavris, 2006, pp. 322 & 328).…
