INTRODUCTION HOWARD GARNER’S THEORY OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES The Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences was developed by a psychologist Howard Gardner in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. it speculates the individuals have eight or more relatively independent intelligences. The eight identified intelligences include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence (Gardner, 1999). According to Gardner’s analysis, only two intelligences—linguistic and logical mathematical—have been valued and tested for in modern secular schools; it is valuable to contemplate of that …show more content…
Linguistic intelligence basically involves the ability of using language efficiently to express oneself verbally or flowingly, and also to able to recall information by use of language. Logical-mathematical intelligence this type of intelligence entails the capability to evaluate problems logically, to perform mathematical tasks, and to investigate matters scientifically. Howard Gardner words state “it entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. Musical intelligence It includes skill in performing, composing and appreciate musical patterns. It also comprises the ability to recognize and compose musical tones, pitches and rhythms. According to Gardner musical intelligence goes along with linguistic intelligence. Bodily-kinesthetic …show more content…
Accordingly, in developing MI theory and its broader characterization of intelligence, Gardner did not focus on the creation and interpretation of psychometric instruments. Rather, he drew upon research findings from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, anthropology, psychometrics and psychological studies of prodigies and savants. Through synthesis of relevant research across these fields, Gardner established several criteria for identification of a unique intelligence (see Table
IQ while a good evaluation of a persons ability to solve logic problems is not the epitome of intelligence. If you have IQ with out practical or social intelligence in a significant quantity it wont garner you much success in the world. It needs an addition of that practical or social intelligence in order for you to become exceptionally successful within the world. The examples put forth in the book are of Chris Langan who’s IQ was in the 190 to 200’s range, Terman’s Termites (a group of students with IQ’s of 140+ that Terman followed for his Genetic Studies of Genius.), and Robert Oppenheimer. We also have two differing tests one that touches on just IQ and the other that touches on practical intelligence.
Allen Mangan Section 11 Ms. Cara Dees 10-1-14 Explanatory Synthesis What does it mean to be truly intelligent? Is intelligence simply book smarts, an understanding of facts, or the ability to graduate with honors from a prestigious university? Or is intelligence something much deeper and personal? Authors David Foster Wallace and Mike Rose both address the topic of intelligence in their writing, and they speak to this very question.
Many ideas about the requirements of personhood have been circulating throughout Earth’s history. Many relate to religion and spirituality, and many of the others either contribute to the people v. property debate of the abolition movement or the contemporary pro-life v. pro-choice debates. This paper will address a few of these proposed requirements and how they specifically relate to the Monster created by Victor Frankenstein in the popular novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley in a secular and non-endorsing manner. This character will then be juxtaposed with a character of a separate work: Lucky from Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.
Standardized intelligence testing has been one of psychology’s ultimate achievements. “Intelligence tests are psychological tests that are designed to measure a variety of mental functions, such as reasoning, comprehension, and judgment.” ("Intelligence tests," n.d.) They can help diagnose knowledgeable disabilities or measures a person’s knowledgeable potential. Alfred Binet was the first French Psychologist who created the first intelligence test in the 1900s.

1. In your own words, how would you define "intelligence" and how does it differ from "information"? Use an example to make your case. a. Information is produced when data points are combined to answer a question an example would be the biometric system, it gathers height and weight can produce a BMI score and can then be put on a chat determine in you fall within the normal range for the country of the person.
In today’s society people often correlate test scores and percentages to how intelligent a person is. Although, I believe intelligence is also a mix of experiences, I strive to control what people judge me on, which is calculated numbers.
First of all, the perception of a student’s intelligence
The following essay will approach the workplace philosophies of Howard Gardner and Mike Rose and attempt to apply them to real-world work-related problems and situations. First, before proceeding any further, it is necessary to provide a brief overview of the basic. Gardner, in his book Five Minds for the Future, identifies five mind that people can apply to their jobs and their work environments: the disciplinary mind, the synthesizing mind, the creating mind, the respectful mind, and the ethical mind (Gardner 3). For the creating mind, as Mike Rose redefines the intelligence in his book The Mind at Work, he believes the blue-collar workers are as creative as other white-collars. Besides the creative mind related to the physical workers, Mike
Disadvantages/weaknesses of Howard Gardner’s theory: 1. Doesn’t explain why some individuals are more intelligent than others. 2. Controversy over whether the seven specific types of intelligences are actually intelligences or whether they are abilities (such as musical, body-kinesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal).
The measurement of intelligence is a debate that has endured through much of man’s time on Earth. Certainly, there are a variety of opinions regarding even the most specific metrics, one of which is academically-based testing. Testing intelligence now has become multidimensional in schools, migrating from a strictly test based system to an interactive platform where students are guided through project based learning, comprehensively assessing intelligence and capability. Lately, kids have not been getting the same message that adults got in the past.
Standardized tests have been a common feature of education systems for decades. They are intended to provide an objective measure of student learning and achievement, but there is growing concern that they are not an accurate reflection of intelligence. Standardized tests do not take into account individual differences and learning styles, and as such, they may not be an effective way to measure student intelligence. In this essay, we will explore why standardized tests are not an effective way to measure student intelligence and suggest alternative solutions. Firstly, standardized tests only measure a narrow range of skills, primarily in math and reading.
A world of robots working in factories, markets, schools, companies, and limited amount of work space for humans that’s what is going on. The things we saw in movies and what we were dreaming is all becoming reality. Recently, technology has been improving in a very rapid pace. Technology, such as smart phones, tablets, and television, made our lives easier and more convenient. Now people can click a button and deliver food or items they want anywhere.
Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences (a learning style) Three categories such as instructional and multi-dimensional preferences-based, personality-based and process information-based can be defined as part of Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences (Yeap et al., 2005, pp. 35-42). According to Gardner’s multiple
