Multiple

Intelligences

Jeanneth Calvache

The theory of multiple intellliences is predominantly attributed

to the work of noted psychologist Howard Gardier during the
late 1970s and early 1980s.

Gardner conceived intelligence as having multiple rather than

singular forms and developed a set of criteria for identifying
unique intelligences

Gardners theory
says that there are
at least eight
different
intelligences:
linguistic (word
smart), logicalmathematical
(numbers and
reasoning smart),
spatial (picture
smart), musical
(music smart),
bodily-kinesthetic
(body smart)),
interpersonal
(people smart),
intrapersonal (selfsmart), and
naturalist (nature
smart).

Very few of us will have been taught
the importance of developing
Intrapersonal skills for the ability to
reflect and monitor your own
progress, thoughts and feelings,
strengths and weaknesses are not
encouraged in educations. Indeed,
education has its own formal tests
that we must attend to. Those few
who do posses Intrapersonal
Intelligence have often acquired it for
themselves by taking an active
interest in their ability to control their
own destiny.
