This made me feel quite happy like I don't know its just science
is making me feel so dumb and this just makes me feel better haha like you can
still be intelligent even though school is raping the living daylight
out of you. I hope you can find some sort of peace in this as well.
1. Linguistic Intelligence: the capacity to use language to
express what’s on your mind and to understand other people. Any kind of writer,
orator, speaker, lawyer, or other person for whom language is an important
stock in trade has great linguistic intelligence.
2. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: the capacity to understand
the underlying principles of some kind of causal system, the way a scientist or
a logician does; or to manipulate numbers, quantities, and operations, the way
a mathematician does.
3. Musical Rhythmic Intelligence: the capacity to think in music;
to be able to hear patterns, recognize them, and perhaps manipulate them.
People who have strong musical intelligence don’t just remember music easily,
they can’t get it out of their minds, it’s so omnipresent.
4. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: the capacity to use your whole
body or parts of your body (your hands, your fingers, your arms) to solve a
problem, make something, or put on some kind of production. The most evident
examples are people in athletics or the performing arts, particularly dancing
or acting.
5. Spatial Intelligence: the ability to represent the spatial
world internally in your mind — the way a sailor or airplane pilot navigates
the large spatial world, or the way a chess player or sculptor represents a
more circumscribed spatial world. Spatial intelligence can be used in the arts
or in the sciences.
6. Naturalist Intelligence: the ability to discriminate among
living things (plants, animals) and sensitivity to other features of the
natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value
in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be
central in such roles as botanist or chef.
7. Intrapersonal Intelligence: having an understanding of
yourself; knowing who you are, what you can do, what you want to do, how you
react to things, which things to avoid, and which things to gravitate toward.
We are drawn to people who have a good understanding of themselves. They tend
to know what they can and can’t do, and to know where to go if they need help.
8. Interpersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand other
people. It’s an ability we all need, but is especially important for teachers,
clinicians, salespersons, or politicians — anybody who deals with other people.
9. Existential Intelligence: the ability and proclivity to pose
(and ponder) questions about life, death, and ultimate realities.
written by Howard Gardner’s seminal Theory
of Multiple Intelligences, originally published in 1983, which
revolutionized psychology and education by offering a more dimensional
conception of intelligence than the narrow measures traditional standardized
tests had long applied.
