Howard Gardners theory

Howard Gardner defines intelligence as "thecapacity to solve problems or to fashion products

that are valued in one or more cultural setting"

(Gardner & Hatch, 1989). Using biological as well

as cultural research, he formulated a list of seven

intelligences. This new outlook on intelligence

differs greatly from the traditional view that

usually recognizes only two intelligences, verbaland mathematical.

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one'sown bodily movements. This intelligence challenges the popularbelief that mental and physical activity are unrelated.

The ability to use your body skillfully to solve problems, createproducts or present ideas and emotions.

An ability obviously displayed for athletic pursuits, dancing,acting, artistically, or in building and construction.

You can include surgeons in this category but many people whoare physically talented"good with their hands"don't recognizethat this form of intelligence is of equal value to the other

intelligences.

Famous examples: Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jordan.

nterpersonal ntelligence The ability to work effectively with others to relate to other people display empathyand understanding notice their motivations and goals. This is a vital human intelligence displayed by goodteachers facilitators therapists politicians religiousleaders and sales people. Famous examples: Gandhi Ronald Reagan Mother Teresa Oprah Winfrey.

Naturalist intelligencedesignates the human ability to discriminate among living things

(plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of thenatural world (clouds, rock configurations).

to make distinctions in the natural world and to use thisability productivelyfor example in hunting, farming, or

biological science.

Farmers, botanists, conservationists, biologists, environmentalistswould all display aspects of the intelligence. Famous examples: Charles Darwin, Rachel Carson.

Can we be more than one?

Yes!

Although the intelligences are anatomically separated from each other,Gardner claims that the eight intelligences very rarely operateindependently.

Rather, the intelligences are used concurrentlyand typically complement e chotheras individuals develop skills or solve problems.For example, a dancer can excel in his art only if he/she has

strong musical intelligenceto understand the rhythm and variations of the music bodily kinesthetic intelligenceto provide him with the agility and coordination to

complete the movements successfully

interpersonal intelligenceto understand how he can inspire or emotionally move hisaudience through his movements
