Is your future profession mentioned in the text below? If so, in which
type of intelligence? If not, where would you include it? Why?
People still maintain the incomplete sentiment that “success” depends on a high
IQ. This can really limit someone’s perspective for career possibilities if they don’t
relate to this standard definition of success. One way to expand on career possibilities
is to use the theory of multiple intelligences.
The term “multiple intelligences” was coined by developmental psychologist, Dr.
Howard Gardner in 1983, as a way to describe peoples’ natural inclination for learning
and engaging in the world.
You may be more intelligent than you think. Read on to find a career that fits your
essential intelligence.
