Multiple Intelligence

The best way to learn new things is to make mistakes and learn from your mistakes and the best way to understand others is to put your legs in their shoes. Cliff

In “A Rounded Version: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, Howard Gardner illustrates how there are a variety of intelligences. Gardner starts off with an example how IQ tests may predict achievement in school but may not predict achievement in life. After finding out certain parts of the brain are responsible for certain functions, such as “Broca’s Area” which is responsible for sentence production, Gardner proposes the existence of multiple intelligences. Multiple studies later led him to propose seven distinct intelligences; Musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Each intelligence has certain classifications. According to Gardner’s classifications, I realized my intelligences are bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, and intrapersonal.

Interpersonal intelligence: People with Interpersonal intelligence are good with people and thrive in social interactions. They are good at reading, empathize and understanding others. They are good at working with others and have many friends. They learn best through interaction and dialogue. The greatest strength of Rodriguez is his interpersonal skill, due to the special education services that were provided for Rodriguez as a child with a behavioral challenges, he has been able to

Three more intelligences are bodily/kinesthetic, naturalistic, and musical. Bodily/kinesthetic intelligences are bodily that process information through what they feel and sensations in their body (Lane). In order to help them learn, they have to interact with others, and they also need to act out what they are doing. Teachers help students embrace this through hands on activities or acting out their lessons (2004). Naturalistic intelligences can easily identify plants, animals, and anything out in nature. They can easily tell you what blooms this time of year and what is in hibernation. Teachers will typically do classification activities with these children to help them learn (Lane). Musical learners can compose music, determine notes, and read the music. They learn best through song and rhythm which is why teachers sometimes make up songs with lyrics in order to get the lesson taught.

McKensey Matlock Cognitive Science 2/12/16 The Controversy of Multiple Intelligence After reading multiple articles about multiple intelligence it seems that there has been major controversy’s over this is issue. There are three theories that go into this debate. The Mozart effect theory, the multiple intelligence theory and the emotional intelligence theory. These theories are widely known in education but do they have the support needed to become valid? This is the debate that we need to look into if we are going to be using these theories as principles in education. Some researchers believe that the none of the following theories have enough empirical evidence to validate these theories. From the research found

Interpersonal intelligence has many of characteristics, with the main one being “understanding and relating to other people.” Interpersonal people are very good with other people. They can mingle with just about anyone and can make many friends. People who are described as interpersonal are “good at communicating verbally, see situations from different perspectives, and are good at resolving conflict in groups” (“Which type”). Interpersonal people learn so much just by being around people. They can pick up information and find out a person’s feelings just by talking to the person. Interpersonal people are very supportive and caring towards others. People with interpersonal intelligence “are a member of numerous clubs, enjoy playing team games, and enjoy mixing with a lot of friends” (“Multiple Intelligence”). Interpersonal learners are there to help others resolve quarrels and to “communicate and interact with other people” (“What Are”). Body language is a big part of how interpersonal people engage. They can read people through the way they talk and they do not even have to be told how the person is feeling to understand what is going on. Interpersonal people have some

Learning as a whole can be quite different, ranging from memorisation of classroom information, all the way to being able to connect idea’s together, perform complex activities. As well as interacting with others. While it is important to know that learning is important to the core of the system, it can be very hard to come up with a simple clear cut understanding of what learning is. Learning can include a variety of methods. It can look at meaning different things to individuals, and can be viewed differently by students, teachers as well as at times by cultures. Although this can make it hard to come up with an understanding of what learning is factors that may be used to assist this include, a change in any individual’s knowledge, the ability to perform set skills, as well

Workplace motivation can be influenced by individual differences. Using Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Test my personal intelligence is classed as Interpersonal. People with Interpersonal characteristics have the ability to relate to others, they understand the relationship between people and their situation and have excellent communication skills. The preferred learning style is human contact, communications, cooperation and team work. Gardener identified six other types of intelligence:

You’re a genius! As this compliment rings in your head imagine that someone is referring to your ability to understand yourself, or even your ability to interact with other people. Under Gardner’s Theory of multiple intelligences each and every one of us have different intelligence strengths, our individual strengths are important in how we develop. Possibly making more unconventional geniuses. Knowing and acknowledging our strengths can help us to excel in life at different levels. Most of us are a combination of many different intelligences. Normally with one or two that are stronger than the others. Like many others you might be thinking intelligence only in reference to a high IQ, and knowledge these other so called “intelligences” are too broad, but I believe you couldn’t be more incorrect. These are possible new ideas for you but consider the fact that we all learn differently if we all had the same type of intelligence than we would all learn the exact same way. As we know this clearly not true. After deep reflection and some research I believe my strongest intelligence is Interpersonal intelligence. Strong interpersonal intelligence are people who are good at understanding and interacting with others nonverbally and verbally. Usually more talented in assessing the emotions and desires of those around them. My second strongest intelligence is intrapersonal intelligences describe as one’s ability to know and understand them self. It is believed that these

Individualization is most successful when they are on their own yet are able to see and utilize the unique talents in others (Rath, 2007). This person believes

A lot of the way you learn has to do with your attitude the way you motivate yourself and the belief that you can achieve anything they put their mind to. Knowledge also determines how situations are handled. Social interactions are also very important in context learning.

When speaking of interpersonal intelligence, one concerns him or herself with how an individual handles his or her

People can be intelligent in different ways some of these ways are being naturalist intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence, and interpersonal intelligence. Naturalist is an intelligent by understanding living things and reading or being a part of nature. Next is bodily kinesthetic is an intelligent by coordinating your mind with your body. Finally, interpersonal is an intelligent by sensing or feeling someone’s emotions or feelings by looking at them.

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed by Dr. Howard Gardner in 1983. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences is a critique of the standard psychological view of intellect: there is a single intelligence, adequately measured by IQ or other short answer tests. Instead, on the basis of evidence from disparate sources, the theory claims that human beings have a number of relatively discrete intellectual capacities. IQ tests assess linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence, and sometimes spatial intelligence; they are a reasonably good predictor of who will do well in school. This is because humans have several other significant intellectual capacities (Harvard University).
