And Then There is Multiple Intelligences

MI or the theory of multiple intelligences was developed by psychologist Howard Gardner. He suggests there are at least eight ways that people have of perceiving and understanding the world. Gardner defines an "intelligence" as a group of abilities that:

  • Is somewhat autonomous from other human capacities
  • Has a core set of information-processing operations
  • Has a distinct history in the stages of development we each pass through
  • Has plausible roots in evolutionary history

The eight primary multiple intelligences include:

  1. Verbal-Linguistic
  2. Logical-Mathematics
  3. Visual-Spatial
  4. Body-Kinesthetic
  5. Musical-Rhythmic
  6. Interpersonal
  7. Intrapersonal
  8. Naturalist
