Multiple Intelligences

Multiple Intelligences

1. Interactive

   • Verbal (Linguistic… to do with words)
     • Children who demonstrate strength in the language arts: speaking, writing, reading, listening.
   • Kinesthetic (Bodily)
     • Children who experience learning best through activity: games, movement, hands-on tasks, building.
   • Interpersonal
     • Children who are noticeably people oriented and outgoing, and do their learning cooperatively in groups or with a partner.

2. Analytical

   • Naturalist
     • Children who love the outdoors, animals, field trips. More than this, though, these students love to pick up on subtle differences in meanings
   • Logical (Mathematical)
     • Children who display an aptitude for numbers, reasoning and problem solving.
   • Musical (Rhythmic)
     • Children who learn well through songs, patterns, rhythms, instruments and musical expression.

3. Introspective

   • Intrapersonal
     • Children who are especially in touch with their own feelings, values and ideas.
   • Existentialist
     • Children who learn in the context of where humankind stands in the "big picture" of existence
   • Visual (Spatial)
     • Children who learn best visually and organizing things spatially. They like to see what you are talking about in order to understand.

4. The theory of multiple intelligences is a model of conception of the mind proposed in 1983 by the American psychologist Howard Gardner, professor at Harvard University, for which intelligence is not a unitary set that groups different capacities specific, but that intelligence is like a network of autonomous sets related between them.
