In day to day life, I am learning more information in each second I am living. Not only am I learning academics but how to be a part of the world and to use my unique mindset while interacting in society. I have weak and strong intelligence abilities that help me take in my surroundings. Since I was a child, I have adapted to use my intelligences in everything I do and everything I take part in. In school when I am taking notes or studying for a test, I have to write and organize information in a way that makes sense to me so I can fully take in the material. When I am watching a movie, my mind picks up on certain aspects of the film and personality traits of the characters because I have adapted to take in knowledge in a specific way. Out of the eight multiple intelligences, my strong points are visual spatial and interpersonal. I have a exceptional intelligence for visual images in addition to interacting with others. Visual spatial intelligence is the special ability to work well with visual images. I work strong learning with pictures or videos and can remember information more suitably if I draw a picture or watch a film on the subject. I have a hard time memorizing information directly reading it out of a textbook, but if there are many diagrams, visual representations or I draw pictures of what the text is explaining, I can memorize it very easily. Using my visual spatial intelligence, I also have the strong ability to correctly visualize how something works or
Howard Gardner introduced the theory of multiple intelligences stating that each person possesses a blend of at least eight different kinds of intelligence: verbal/linguistic, logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and environmental/naturalistic (Bruno, 2009).
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.
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
My father’s top three intelligences are Spatial intelligence, Logical intelligence and Linguistic intelligence. Spatial intelligence shows that my father likes to draw graphs, diagrams and maps. Moreover, he usually uses it every day. Logical intelligence shows that he likes math. Linguistic intelligence shows that he likes speak, tell stories, read books. Spatial intelligence gives him an opportunity to be an architect or a pilot. Perhaps, because of it, he likes yachts; he wants to be a sailor. You need to make a lot of graphs and maps to be a sailor. Logical intelligence shows that he can be an accountant or a scientist. In addition, he works as an accountant and he likes physics and went he was young he wanted to be a physicist. Linguistic intelligence shows that he can be a journalist, poet or public relations director. Actually he doesn’t like it, but he loves to tell stories and he does it
While looking over my answers on the “Multiple Intelligence Scoring Sheet”, I’ve noticed that I only have “strong abilities” in the musical category. However, I also have abilities in interpersonal and intrapersonal as well. I honestly do agree on with Howard Gardner’s Theory and his descriptions because each category is written with logical meanings. After reviewing the types of roles that I was put in; the three listed are actually perfect for me, and the others don’t quite correlate with me personally, except spatial-visual.
Gardner’s eight multiple intelligences is helpful in understanding that people have different methods of intelligence and learning styles. By learning the different types of intelligences, also helps me understand what my strengths and weaknesses are so I could work on improving that particular intelligence or by just acknowledging
“Human intelligence is the intellectual prowess of humans, which is marked by complex cognitive feats and high levels of motivation and self-awareness.” “Human intelligence is a marvelous subtle, and poorly understood phenomenon. There are no danger of duplicating it anytime soon.” The 3 types of intelligences I’m using is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence and Interpersonal Intelligence. There are different ways people can be intelligent. That’s why it will be cool to have one of those intelligences.
Intelligence by definition is “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills” (Oxford Dictionary, 2014). However, many psychologists argue that there is no standard definition of ‘intelligence’, and there have been many different theories over time as psychologists try to find better ways to define this concept (Boundless 2013). While some believe in a single, general intelligence, others believe that intelligence involves multiple abilities and skills. Another largely debated concept is whether intelligence is genetically determined and fixed, or whether is it open to change, through learning and environmental influence. This is commonly known as the nature vs. nurture debate.
Ashley, I am A visual learner who strengths are memorizing information from my INFT124 course and it allows me to quickly remember simple and complex facts that relate to my course assignments. In addition to this, these activities also help me know what topics to research for my discussions with my classmates and it helps me understand how to complete my weekly assignments in an correct way. Finally, my visual learning style helps me learn how to write organized informative notes on important educational and business issues in this
I choose to take the Multiple Intelligences Self-Assessment quiz. When I taught preschool and as the trainer for my department I have learned that there are many different methods in which people learn. I have learned to adapt how I teach and train based on what is required by the learner. Due to this I was curious to determine the variety of learning methods that work best for me. I discovered that I have a broad range of ways in which I learn best. I have always excelled at learning and find that I learn fairly quickly, so this is not surprising to me. What did surprise me was that my highest percentage was naturalistic. One question that I often ask is, “Why?” I enjoy having a knowledge of how things work and the ability to understand a variety of subjects, but did not realize how highly it impacted my learning. The few categories where I scored low were music and body kinesthetic. Neither of these surprise me much. When I work and am trying to concentrate I find that music and movement is very distracting. I have learned to eliminate them when focus and concentration is crucial. The rest of the categories I scored from 49% to 63%. I feel this explains my ability to learn a broad spectrum of things quickly no matter what the method of learning is. The two areas where I scored the highest were interpersonal and intrapersonal. This explains my drive for success, ability to gain insight into a variety of situations and people, my solid foundation in who I am and what
After taking the learning styles and study strategies quiz, I received the results of 50% tactile, 25% Auditory, and 25% visual learner. I would strongly agree with these results because I am a
On Multiple Intelligence test I learned about myself that I have quite appropriate scores with regards to intelligence types, the lowest score on bodily-kinaesthetic (22) and the highest score on linguistic (33).
For me personally the multiple intelligence is linguistic, intrapersonal and interpersonal. The reason I chose these three is because verbal you need to understand how to pronounce it and able to define the vocab words in order to study for them. Intrapersonal is the ability to solve problems on your own if there is no one available to help you. Interpersonal is to study with friends to help each other if you don't want to study alone or you don't understand the vocab.
To start off, multiple intelligences explain how a person learns, and colors explains someone’s personality. My color is gold and my intelligences include: logical/mathematical, visual/spatial, and intrapersonal. The color gold symbolizes someone who is a leader, an organized individual, and a perfectionist. Regarding this statement, I am someone who would tell others what tasks they are assigned to and how it should be done. Logical/mathematical people need reasons as to why things are the way they are. Next, people who are visual/spatial need designs to understand concepts. For example, I would not understand a verbal math lesson at all. I need to see images or see how a math equation is done. Lastly, people who are intrapersonal learn better alone. That doesn’t mean people who are intrapersonal enjoy working alone, but they can understand and work out concepts better.
I know that I am a Visual Learner, and everything I learn is through what I see. I learned that I am able to learn through different teaching styles and still learn the necessary information that is being given. Most people can relate to being a visual learner as it helps to see the information and retain it as well. Another type of common learning style is bodily kinesthetic which I feel I also learn well from as well.
