All intelligence favored
Multiple Intelligences: More Than One Way to Shine
Howard Gardner(1983/1993b,1995,1999) developed a very influential view of intelligence, the theory of mulitple intelligences, which hold that there are eight basic forms of intelligence:
1. Linguistic intelligence-The ability to use language well, as relied on by journalists and lawyers.
2. Spatial intelligence-The ability to reason well about spatial relations, as relied on by architects and
surgeons.
3. Musical inteligence-The ability to compose and understand music, as relied on by audio engineers and musicians.
4. Logical-mathematical intelligence-The ability to manipulate abstract symbols, as used by scientists and computer programmers.
5. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence-The ability to plan and understand sequences of movements, as drawn on by dancers and athletes.
6. Intrapersonal intelligence-The ability to understand oneself, as used by clergy.
7. Interpersonal intelligence-The ability to understand other people and social interactions, as used by politicians and teachers.
8. Naturalist intelligence-The ability to observe carefully, as used by forest rangers.
Side Note: Neither is greater than the other. All intelligence is just as worthy of either type of intelligence. Although it is ideal to possess all, as for some. Most actually.
