Multiple Intelligences

 Hello everyone, and welcome again to my blog! 😎

Today's topic is "Multiple Intelligences". This theory about multiple intelligences was created by the American psychologist Howard Gardner, who proposed that people need to develop several types of intelligences. He points out that human beings have more developed and less developed abilities. He concluded that there is no such thing as "intelligence" itself, but that there are many more that are independent.

There are many types of intelligence, let's see what each one is about:  

1. Linguistic-Verbal Intelligence👀: it is the ability to master the language and be able to communicate effectively. It not only refers to the ability to communicate orally but also in writing. This intelligence may be useful for politicians, writers, journalists, etc.
2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence💀: This type of intelligence is related to the ability to reason logically and solve mathematical problems. Scientists, economists, academics, engineers, and mathematicians usually excel in this type of intelligence.
3. Visual-Spatial Intelligence💫:  Provides the ability to observe the world and objects from other perspectives. Ability to create mental images, and draw and detect details. In this intelligence, we find painters, photographers, designers, advertisers, architects, etc.
4. Musical intelligence 🎤: There are many types of music and this led Gardner to understand that there is also an associated intelligence. The brain executes functions linked to the interpretation and composition of music. Those who have this type of intelligence are, of course, musicians, those who are able to play instruments, read, and compose with ease. 
5. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence💃🕺: This refers to the bodily skills needed to use tools or express certain emotions through the body. Those who possess this intelligence are dancers, athletes, and even surgeons. 
6. Intrapersonal intelligence🙏: It is the one that helps us to understand and control our emotions. It makes us able to access our feelings and reflect on them and helps us to maintain well-being in all aspects of life.
7. Interpersonal intelligence👩‍👩‍👦‍👦: This is an intelligence that allows us to interpret words or gestures, or the objectives and goals of each conversation. It gives us the ability to detect and understand people beyond what our senses can perceive. Teachers, psychologists, therapists, lawyers, and pedagogues are profiles that usually score very high in this type of intelligence. 
8. Naturalistic intelligence🌿: Allows us to detect, differentiate and categorize aspects related to the environment, such as animal and plant species or phenomena related to the weather or things in nature. It is considered an essential intelligence for the survival of human beings.

Gardner says that all human beings possess the types of intelligence, but that some excel more in some than others and stresses that none is more valuable than the others. 

The teacher Orlando gave us a photocopy of the "Multiple Intelligence Wheel" first we had to do a little test and then color the wheel according to how many points we had in each intelligence. I will leave my results below, but as you can see I had the most points in "Visual-Spatial Intelligence"🤡, which surprised me because I did an activity on that type and I couldn't solve it. I thought I would have more in musical or intrapersonal. But well, I will also say that my lowest score was in Logical-Mathematical Intelligence which doesn't surprise me because I am very bad with numbers.😝

Well, that would be all for now, I know it's a lot of information but it's very interesting too. Until next time, bye-bye. ❤✌
