Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner, a
psychologist and professor of neuroscience at Harvard, developed one
theory in 1983. Gardner defines “intelligence” not as an IQ but, rather,
as the skills that enable anyone to gain new knowledge and solve
problems.
Gardner proposed that there are several different types of intelligences, or learning styles.
- Verbal-Linguistic (Word Smart) – People who possess this learning style learn best through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Verbal students absorb information by engaging with reading materials and by discussing and debating ideas.
- Logical-Mathematical (Logic Smart) – Those who exhibit this type of intelligence learn by classifying, categorizing, and thinking abstractly about patterns, relationships, and numbers.
- Visual-Spatial (Picture Smart) – These people learn best by drawing or visualizing things using the mind’s eye. Visual people learn the most from pictures, diagrams, and other visual aids.
- Auditory-Musical (Music Smart) – Students who are music smart learn using rhythm or melody, especially by singing or listening to music.
- Bodily-Kinesthetic (Body Smart) – Body-smart individuals learn best through touch and movement. These people are best at processing information through the body. Sometimes kinesthetic learners work best standing up and moving rather than sitting still.
- Interpersonal (People Smart) – Those who are people smart learn through relating to others by sharing, comparing, and cooperating. Interpersonal learners can make excellent group leaders and team players.
- Intrapersonal (Self Smart) – Intrapersonal-intelligent people learn best by working alone and setting individual goals. Intrapersonal learners are not necessarily shy; they are independent and organized.
- Naturalistic (Nature Smart) – Naturalistics learn by working with nature. Naturalistic students enjoy learning about living things and natural events. They may excel in the sciences and be very passionate about environmental issues.

Verbal linguistic and Interpersonal
ReplyDeleteSir Ed, Do you believe that verbal lingustic is the most common learning styles?
ReplyDeleteI agree, since the world is a small place for someone who can't read & write and another is all people can express their feelings and emotions :) Thanks!
DeleteI am logic smart, self smart, music smart and nature smart, do normal people only have 1 learning style ?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Gardner, an individual can possess all these multiple intelligences. So I strongly disagree that normal people can only have 1 learning styles ๐ We are all born with a unique mix of all eight intelligences. Thanks!
DeleteSir Ed what is the difference between the study of Gardner and Armstrong?
ReplyDeleteHi mau! As far as I know, There is no difference between the study of Gardner and Armstrong, basically Armstrong expanded the study of Gardner and also he used the research of Gardner as a reference to his study. :)
DeleteIs there any new intelligence that is added?
ReplyDeleteThe seven primary intelligences identified by Gardner include Word Smart, Logic Smart, Picture Smart, Music Smart, Body Smart, People Smart, and Self Smart. The eighth, Naturalistic intelligence, was not part of Gardner's original framework but was added in 1996 to include those who excel in the realm of natural science.
DeleteHe has also opened the door to another possibility – especially that of existential intelligence – but the court is out on that one.
Visual Spatial ^_______^
ReplyDeleteCan interpersonal and intrapersonal can be acquire by one person?
ReplyDeleteActually an individual can possess all these multiple intelligences according to Gardner. :)
DeleteI think it is possible for a person to acquire all those intelligence's. I believe that we all have those traits, all we have to do is enhance those attributes. It's just like our talents. We all have potentials, and it's up to us what talent is to improve. .___. my grammar
ReplyDeleteHi Marlo! Always remember, there's always a room for improvement :) Thanks for commenting!
DeleteSir, is there any possibilities that an individual can improve those multiple intelligent at the same time?
ReplyDeleteYes! All things are possible! :) check this out http://examinedexistence.com/how-to-improve-all-8-types-of-intelligences/
DeleteVerbal linguistic and visual spatial :D
ReplyDeleteGood christine! as a future educator it's an advantage to be good in verbal linguistic or word smart :)
DeleteI think Verbal-Linguistic and Auditory-Musical for now.
ReplyDeleteBut I hope I have more. :)
Hi charlotte, Maybe you have more intelligences hope this form can help you determine which intelligences are strongest for you :) http://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html
DeleteSir Ed, how would you know what intelligence you possess? Is there any quiz or test regarding this?
ReplyDeleteHi Aprilyn, you can check this form and I hope it can help you determine which intelligences you possess ๐ Here's the link! http://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html
Deletefor me, I think its verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical. :)
ReplyDeleteGood angel! as a future educator it's an advantage to be good in verbal linguistic or word smart and logic smart :)
DeleteI am Picture Smart. But I guess I'm Nature Smart too 'cause, you know, I love Motha Nature! :)
ReplyDeleteThen, save the mother earth Japheth! Reuse-reduce-recycle :)
DeleteWhy do these intelligences were still classified by Gardner when in fact all people has all of these intelligences already?
ReplyDeleteI think Gardner still classified these intelligences because some people are still in the discovering process of their intelligences, so as a guide he classified it so that people can easily determine what intelligences he/she have. :)
DeleteHi sir. How does multiple intelligence affect to the performance of the student?
ReplyDeleteGardner explains that his theory empowers learners and doesn't restrict them to one modality of learning, allowing multiple ways to teach, rather than just one.
DeleteMa'am, check this to know how M.I affect the performance of the students :) Thanks!

Intrapersonal...
ReplyDeleteBecause i can do my job with myself. And i can work freely when im alone and my ideas will not be rejected.
Also, i thought i have a Logic smart because in some cases, i loved searching for an abstract problems nor pictures and try to analyzing it ...
As a COED student, being good in logic is an advantage because logic are badly needed during 3rd year days hehe :) it's not a threat it's a fact! God bless Ira and 2J! :)
DeleteMUSIC SMART
ReplyDeleteI think one of the factors that causes me to posses musical ability is heredity. Both my father and brother are musically attached. How does the environment we belong gives impact in our skill's development?
I agree that heredity and environment have an interactive influence on intelligence. The Environment has the potential to positively or negatively impact an individual skills, like for instance unrelated children raised together in the same home have some similarity in IQ. Another one is adopted children show some similarity in IQ to their adoptive parents. :)

DeleteNow I know, that my intelligence is Intrapersonal and logical-mathematical. ๐๐๐
