BODILY KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE Howard Gardner and his theory
Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence "Expertise in using one's whole body to express ideas and feelings and facility in using one's hands to produce or transform things. This intelligence includes specific physical skills such as coordination, balance, dexterity, strength, flexibility, and speed, as well as proprioceptive, tactile, and haptic capacities."
Qualities of the Bodily Kinesthetically Blessed Control of one’s own bodily motions Capacity to handle objects skillfully Sense of timing A clear sense of the goal of physical action Ability to train responses so they seem like reflexes High degree of fine-motor control Gift for using whole body motions
