34. Howard Gardner  Howard Gardner’s ideas on Multiple Intelligences  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mult iple_intelligences

35. Howard Gardner  “At one time, it was generally believed that intelligence was a single entity that was inherited; and that human beings-initially a blank slate- could be trained to learn anything, provided that it was presented in an appropriate way.”

36. Howard Gardner  “Nowadays an increasing number of researchers believe precisely the opposite; that there exists a multitude of intelligences, quite independent of each other; that each intelligence has its own strengths and constraints; that the mind is far from unencumbered at birth”

37. Howard Gardner  Gardner viewed intelligence as “the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural settings.”

38. Multiple Intelligences Inventory  Please pull out both inventories you took

39. Multiple Intelligences 1. Linguistic/ Verbal

40. Multiple Intelligences 1. Linguistic/Verbal 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.

41. Multiple Intelligences 2. Logical/Mathematical

42. Multiple Intelligences 2. Logical/Mathematical 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.

43. Multiple Intelligences 3. Musical Rhythmic

44. Multiple Intelligences 3. Musical Rhythmic 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.

45. Multiple Intelligences 4. Bodily/Kinesthetic

46. Multiple Intelligences 4. Bodily/Kinesthetic The capacity to use your whole body or parts of your body (your hands, fingers, 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.

47. Multiple Intelligences 5. Spatial/Visual

48. Multiple Intelligences 5. Spatial/Visual 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.

49. Multiple Intelligences 6. Interpersonal

50. Multiple Intelligences 6. Interpersonal The ability to understand other people. It’s an ability we all need, but it is especially important for teachers, clinicians, salespersons, or politicians-- anybody who deals with other people.

51. Multiple Intelligences 7. Intrapersonal

52. Multiple Intelligences 7. Intrapersonal 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.

53. Multiple Intelligences 8. Naturalist

54. Multiple Intelligences 8. Naturalist The ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) and sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations).
