1. Multiple Intelligence
The research of Howard Gardner

2. Who is Howard Gardner?
Researcher, behaviorist

3. What is Multiple Intelligence
A theory that suggests that the traditional method of assessing intelligence, IQ testing, is far to limited
proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.

4. The Seven Types of Multiple Intelligence
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")

5. Linguistic Intelligence
involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals.
This intelligence includes the ability to effectively use language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically; and language as a means to remember information.
These learners have highly developed auditory skills and are generally elegant speakers.
They think in words rather than pictures.

6. Auditory Learner’s Skills
Listening, speaking, writing
Story telling, explainig, teaching
Using humor
Understanding the syntax and meaning of words, analyzing language usage
Remembering information
Convincing someone of their point of view

7. Auditory Learner’s Possible Career Interests
Poet, writer, journalist
Teacher, translator
Lawyer, politician

8. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Ability to use reason, logic and numbers
Consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.
It entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically.
This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking.
Learners like to ask lots of questions and like to do experiments.

9. Logical Learner’s Skills
Problem solving, doing controlled experiments
Classifying and categorizing information
Working with abstract concepts to figre out the relationship of each to the other
Handling long chains of reason to local progressions
Performing complex mathematical calculations, working with geometric shapes

10. Logical Learner’s Possible Career Interests
Scientists, researchers
Computer programmers
Engineers, mathematicians
Accountants

11. Musical Intelligence Ability to produce and appreciate music
Involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.
Encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms.
According to Howard Gardner musical intelligence runs in an almost structural parallel to linguistic intelligence.

12. Musical Intelligence Skills
Singing, whistling, playing musical instruments
Recognizing tonal patterns
Composing music
Remembering melodies
Understanding the structure and rhythm of music

13. Musical Intelligence Possible Career Interests
Musician
Disc Jockey
Singer
Composer

14. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
Entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.
It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements and handle objects skillfully.
Howard Gardner sees mental and physical activity as related.

15. Kinesthetic Intelligence Skills
Dancing, sports, physical co-ordination
Hands on experimentation
Using body language, acting, miming
Crafts, using their hands to create and build
Expressing emotions through the body

16. Kinesthetic Intelligence Possible Career Interests
Athletes, dancers, actors
Physical education teachers
Firefighters, artisans

17. Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.
Learner tend to think in pictures and create vivid mental images to retain information
They enjoy looking at maps charts, pictures and videos

18. Visual Learner’s Skills
Puzzle building, reading, writing, understanding charts and graphs
Good sense of direction, constructing, fixing, interpreting visual images, designing practical projects
Sketching, painting, manipulating images, creating visual metaphors and analogies (perhaps through the visual arts)

19. Visual Learner’s Possible Career Interests
Navigators
Sculptors, Visual Artists
Inventors
Architects, Interior Designers
Mechanics, Engineers

20. Interpersonal Intelligence
Is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people.
It allows people to work effectively with others.

21. Interpersonal Intelligence Skills
Seeing things from other perspectives
Listening, counseling
Understanding other people’s moods and feelings
Cooperating in groups, building trust
Communicating both verbally and non-verbally
Peaceful conflict resolution
Establishing positive relations with others

22. Interpersonal Intelligence Possible Career Interests
Educators, counselors
Salespeople, business person
religious and political leaders

23. Intrapersonal Intelligence
entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations.
In Howard Gardner's view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.

24. The Seven Types of Multiple Intelligence
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")

25. The Left Brain versus Right Brain Theory of Intelligence

26. The Right-Brain versus Left-Brain Theory
Difference in learning styles is based on the dominant side of the brain
Dominant side of the brain is the opposite of the dominant hand trait.
Right- Brain thinkers are LEFT handed
Left-Brain thinkers are RIGHT handed

27. Right Brain Thinkers Tend to be creative
Good at coming up with new ideas
Artists, poets and composers

28. Left-Brain Thinkers Orderly in their thought process
Follow rules, organize events
There are more left-brain thinkers than right brain thinkers
All professions

29. Intelligence vs. Learning Style
The idea that there are many ways to illustrate intellectual strengths is Multiple Intelligence
The idea that different people have various ways to learn new material is called Learning Styles

30. Learning Styles Learning styles can be broken into two main categories
Active
Reflective
