Multiple intelligences

Posted on Tuesday 26 February 2008

Dr. Howard Gardner theory of multiple intelligences uses linguistic intelligence (word smart), Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”), Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”), Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”), Musical intelligence (“music smart”), Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”), Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”) and Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”) to identify human potential in children and adults. I visited a playgroup to gather ideas for a poster I am working on and could see this theory already at work simply by the choice of activity that the children had made. Here are four different examples, can you pick out which intelligence they match? If your interested in knowing more about where you fit, take the test here.

    As a teacher in a former life, I really like what you’ve done here. 🙂 Very clean, bright colors, a lot of fun to look at. The clothing patterns are particularly nice. 🙂

    This is a great take on the theme. I like that the test you linked to didn’t box me into one kind of intelligence– I’m equal parts linguistically and interpersonally intelligent, with a high dose of naturalistic and visual/spatial intelligence as well. Hooray for well-roundedness 🙂 Thanks for sharing! And I love your little intelligent kids– not sure about the first one, but I think the rest are naturalist, intrapersonal, and musical intelligences, respectively.

    What a great illustration and I like the concept. The first one is Logical? The rest are Naturlist, Intrapersonal
    and Musical intelligence. I especially like the girl in the striped socks, she reminds me of me but I am not musical
    except to listen to music that is! Thanks for your comment on my handbag…La Target!
