Something about Multiple Intelligences...

       The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983 in his book "Frames of Mind" . It is a theory which proposes that people might have all the eight types of intelligences which consists of: Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and the last but not the least, Naturalist. We all might say that this theory challenged the traditional way that there is one single type of intelligence known as 'g' which stands for general intelligence and this one focuses on cognitive abilities. 

      Howard says that our profile of these intelligence may differ on each of us. It may differ based on genetics or personal experience. What Gardner defines intelligence is as a "biopsychological potential to process information which can be activated to solve problems or to create products that are of value in a culture".  Below I will mention all of these types of intelligences and write something for each of them. 

     First, I will start with Linguistic Intelligence. This type deals with the sensitive part of spoken and written language. It is about the ability to learn and to use the language. I will mention Oprah Winfrey. She has an ability to analyze information and create products involving oral and written language such as speeches, books.  

     The Second one, is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence which refers to the capacity to analyze problems logically to carry out mathematical operations. Here I will mention Albert Einstein. He had an ability to develop equations and proofs to make calculations and solve abstract problems.

     Another one is the Spatial Intelligence . This type of intelligence has the potential to recognize and manipulate the patterns of wide space for instance by navigators and pilots as well as the patterns of more confined areas such as those of importance to sculptors , surgeons or architects. 

        The Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems or to fashion products. Michael Jordan for instance has the ability to use one's own body to create products, to perform skills and to solve problems through mind and body. 

     To continue, The Musical Intelligence,  which refers to the skill in performing, composing and appreciating the musical patterns. 

     Furthermore, the Interpersonal Intelligence refers to the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of the others and to work effectively with others. Mother Teresa is the best example of this type of intelligence. She had the ability to recognize and understand the others , what they wanted, their desires,  intentions. 

      Moreover, we have the Intrapersonal Intelligence. This type refers to the capacity to understand ourselves. What we desire, what we want, what we fear?! By knowing ourselves we will use such information effectively in making our life better! Aristotle had an ability to recognize and understand his own moods, desires , what motived him and his intentions. This type of intelligence might helps us to set our goals and achieve them. 

       The last but not the least, we have the Naturalist Intelligence. This kind of intelligence involves expertise in the recognition and classification of species , flora and fauna. Darwing, had an ability to identify different types of plants, animals and weather which are found in the natural world. 

 Coming to an end technology has made possible for more                  

and more each day by giving access to a 
variety of teaching depending on everybody's needs.
Also, we should not mistake the theory
of multiple intelligences with learning styles because
learning styles refer to the way an individual is most
comfortable approaching a range of tasks and materials.
