 pokkets says: People think in different ways, have different talents, learn differently,and understand things in different ways. The education system is biased towards linguistic, thinking, and logical thinking to a lesser degree. People with strengths in other fields, could be taught in a way more suited to their talents I think I'm a combo of Interpersonal and Logical-Mathematical. Multiple intelligence and souless souless? or did you mean soulness? or soulless? I wouldn't call them intelligences but just the different ability's of our minds (some are just learning styles). I remember asking a fresh out of uni psychology grad what intelligence is and she just couldn't give me a straight answer because there are so many different ability's, not just Memory, Communication and Mathematics. I do like how the ability to control your body is at least recognized as a cognitive ability in the clip, not just a physical one. True intelligence is the abilty to live on a planet without destroying it. Where does that leave us in the grand scheme of things? Knew about this many years ago, we had to do this in school. What we find in the real world, I think, is that as individuals we experience some mix of several or all of these, not just one to the exclusion of the others. It's not actually either/or, though it may seem that way because we may lean heavily toward one way more than others. I did this in school, too. Haven't seen it referenced in years, though. vk2yoc- Humanity claims to be intelligent, but I've never heard a second opinion. Gardner's theory has been around for some time and is quoted in many educational mission statements, often as a rhetorical device to bring value to the potentials for growth of students who do not succeed in the narrowly defined paradigms of academic development which even today dominate perceptions of worth. "Intelligence' is a human construct and has long been the subject of heated controversy. In particular, the Sapir-Whorf take on the social construction of reality argues at the end of the day 'intelligence is what intelligence tests measure'. Thomas Armstrong (http://www.thomasarmstrong.com/) did more work based on Howard Gardner's theory. I see he has a statement on his homepage about "the myth of ADD/ADHD". He calls the multiple intelligences "natural genius" in the title of one of his books. Maybe that is a better descriptor, since the word "intelligence" seems to be so negatively-weighted from a linguistic standpoint. Many claim there is not one kind of intelligence, but at least eight different types, including verbal, spatial and emotional intelligence Argument rages as to whether intelligence is biologically or socially determined The brain weighs less than 2.5% of our total bodyweight, but accounts 20% of our energy consumption when we're at rest. It burns oxygen and glucose at ten times the rate of other body organs Each year 10,000 people take the MENSA IQ test - 2,500 pass to become members. Over the last century, the UK's average IQ has risen about 3 points every decade IQ depends on your culture, class and gender because of the way tests are written. Controversially, in the 1920s IQ tests... does anyone know what subject that guy teaches? in abnormal psych i've learned there are 3 types of intelligences, Intellectual, Secular, and Practical. all those above seem to be sub-sections of one of those three. That makes sense Classification of anything will differ depending where you are coming from. There is no 'right' one. You look around and make your choice, maybe come up with your own if you have got that sort of intelligence. What sort? Maybe the sort you sort out for yourself after looking round. And part of me wishes I hadn't written that. its all semantics, but i wonder in what context this guy is referring? is it sociological, or in fact- redefinition of practical psychology's definition (that i'm sure many have already learned) or just something else or something more theological. I know it is presumptuous to think we can categorize brain function so arbitrarily. I don't think we have a particular 'strength to the exclusion of others, but that acknowledgment of different perception and memory storage mechanism can help shed light on education difficulties, and talents that can be unique. Like most psychological principles with regard to implied thinking principles, and chemical relationships, the principles are relatively subjective, and speculative. One physical example, is the way blindness can render optic function obsolete. Other means of perception are strengthened to compensate. The seven categories main function seems to be an attempt to understand the princip... * Type 1 - The Reformer * Type 2 - The Helper * Type 3 - The Achiever * Type 4 - The Individualist * Type 5 - The Investigator * Type 6 - The Loyalist * Type 7 - The Enthusiast * Type 8 - The Challenger * Type 9 - The Peacemaker AMEN to this. |
