Howard Gardner’s “Multiple Intelligences”
1. Linguistic intelligence (“word smarts”):
2. Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smarts”)
3. Spatial intelligence (“picture smarts”)
4. Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smarts”)
5. Musical intelligence (“music smarts”)
6. Interpersonal intelligence (“people smarts”)
7. Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smarts”)
8. Naturalist intelligence (“nature smarts”)
Gardner has more recently posited a ninth “intelligence” – existential intelligence (“human condition smarts”)
Classroom exercise (1/4/10): Find an example of each of these intelligences in something that someone else in the room does or knows (or a third party known by someone else). Write out what it is that exhibits the intelligence in question. Note well: each “intelligence” should be exhibited by something that could, if taken to a high level, make someone socially “successful.”
