Human Intelligence Intelligence, or IQ, is a score derived from several different standardized tests designed to assess intelligence.

Howard Gardner  Born July 11, 1943  American developmental psychologist who Is a professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard University.  Has a theory of multiple intelligences.  It states not only do human beings have several different ways of learning and processing information, but these methods are relatively different from one another.

Gardner’s 8 Intelligences  Linguistic Intelligence  Logical/Mathematical  Musical Intelligence  Bodily  Spatial Intelligence  Interpersonal Intelligence  Intrapersonal Intelligence  Naturalist

Linguistic Intelligence  The intelligence of language and communication.  The ability to speak, articulate, express, and convey thoughts and feelings to the outside world.  Able to communicate there views in a clear, strong and refined manner.  Poets are fine examples of great linguistic intelligence.

Logical / Mathematical Intelligence  Excellent problem solving skills, enjoys thinking about abstract ideas, likes conducting scientific experiments.  Potential career choices for ones with this thinking would be a scientific, mathematician, computer programmer, engineer, and accountant.

Musical Intelligence  Show sensitivity to rhythm, melody, and sound.  May tend to study with music on in the background, play an instrument, or notice non- verbal sounds in the environment.  Tend to learn more easily if sung or tapped out.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence  Enjoy movement and communicate well through body language and physical activity.  They excel at hands-on learning  Process knowledge through bodily sensations- moving, touching, manipulation, role plays, or creative movements.

Spatial Intelligence  Think in terms of physical space and thinks in images and pictures.  They learn best through drawing, designs, and imagery.  Likes jigsaw puzzles, films, diagrams, maps, and charts.

Interpersonal Intelligence  Enjoy interaction with others.  Learns best through group activities.  Have a sensitivity to facial expressions, voice and gestures.  They understand and care about people better.  Love to socialize

Intrapersonal Intelligence  In touch with ones feelings, moods, and motivations.  Have an accurate picture of personal strengths and limitations, and capacity for self discipline.  Learn best through independent study and introspection.

Naturalistic Intelligence  Understands the natural world including plants, animals, and scientific studies.  Able to recognize and classify individuals, species, and ecological relationships.  Interact effectively with living creatures and see patterns of life and natural forces.

These 8 intelligences are rarely used independently. They are used at the same time and tend to compliment each other.
