Multiple Intelligence Theory
explanatory Essay
702 words
Is intelligence a single skill set or a multitude of strengths and abilities? According to Gardner (2008), "An intelligence must also be susceptible to encoding in a symbol system- a culturally contrived system of meaning that captures and conveys important forms of information" (p. 8). The way we as human beings become so successful in our daily lives can be determined in many different ways. People differ in the way their mind works . Many factors influence our capabilities of learning. Howard Gardner is a man who created a theory to help break down the human minds ability to learn. He has become a very successful American developmental psychologist. After graduating in social relations with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965, he received a PHD in social and developmental psychology from Harvard University. In 1983 Howard Gardner authored a book called "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Howard is currently a professor at the Harvard University. Communication is essentially important in our daily lives. Some people are born with the ability to use verbal-linguist intelligence. No matter how people are able to communicate they find a way to address an issue and are successful to get their point across. This can be expressed in many different ways. The ability to take a word and use in the correct context takes great comprehension of its definition and meaning. As a student in any grade level in school, math is an essential part of education that is utilized quite frequently. It could be connected to managing time or counting dollars and cents. The kinds of people who find math to be fascinating and challeging can be classified as someone who possesses mathematical-logical intelligence.

Multiple intelligences can give educators a variety of different ways to instruct. Thus, helping to provide students an opportunity to meet their own special needs and increase their proficiency and development. According to Thomas Armstrong "MI theory essentially encompasses what good teachers have always done in their teaching: reaching beyond the text and the blackboard to awaken students' minds" (p. 56). When Howard Gardner developed these theories, he did so in hoping to broaden the word "intelligence". Many professors have been able to use this information to help exceed in their own studies. The mind gives us the ability to exceed beyond expectations. Some people are lucky to be born with one or more of these intelligences, but for others they tend to perfect these traits over time.

- Intelligence: Definition and Theoriesexplanatory essay...ists approach in defining human intelligence. I believe that intelligence is the ability to utilize our entire brain, which will most definitely include Gardner's theory but more. Since we only use a small percentage of our brain, I imagine our brains have a lot more forms of intelligence than the ones Gardner proposes as well as more stages of child development than the ones Piaget proposes. As I mentioned before, intelligence is an open-ended word that may never have an agreed upon definition, but we all have our own definition.
In this essay, the author
- Explains that intelligence can be defined in many different ways since there are a variety of individual differences. anyone can define intelligence because it is an open-ended word that has much room for interpretation.
- Explains that jean piaget, a swiss child psychologist, is well known for his four stages of mental growth theory.
- Explains piaget's theory provides a basis for human intelligence by categorizing the major stages in child development and how they contribute to intelligence. each of these invariant stages has major cognitive skills that must be learned.

- Explains piaget's theory provides a basis for human intelligence by categorizing the major stages in child development and how they contribute to intelligence. each of these invariant stages has major cognitive skills that must be learned.
- Explains that intellectual growth involves assimilation of new events into preexisting cognitive structures, change of structures to accommodate new information, and equilibrium between the first two processes.
- Compares jean piaget's theory to that of howard gardener, who arranged human intelligence into seven sections. gardner believes that everyone has a mixture of all the categories varying at different levels.
- Explains that gardner characterizes logistical-mathematical intelligence as people who think logically and are able to transfer abstract concepts to reality. they enjoy solving puzzles and can visualize an invention even before making a prototype.
- Explains that the linguistic type are natural born writers and poets. they have excellent storytelling skills, spelling skills and love to play with words.
- Explains musical intelligence has been scientifically traced in certain areas of the brain. impaired or autistic children who can't talk or interact with others have exemplified exceptional musical talent.
- Explains that interpersonal intelligence is for people who are very well aware of their environment, are sensitive to people around them, and are sociable. damage to the frontal lobe has shown damage to person's personality and the ability to interact with others.
- Explains that intrapersonal intelligence is almost the opposite of interpersonal intelligence. it deals with how well you know yourself and is hard to measure since it is often difficult to recognize externally.
- Explains that spatial intelligence is the ability to perceive and interpret images or pictures in three-dimensional space. the right hemisphere of the brain has been proven to control this form of intelligence.
- Opines gardner classifies people who are athletically inclined into the body-kinesthetic intelligence. dancers and athletics are good examples of this form of intellect.
- Opines that piaget's theory shares his idea of when intelligence is formed and how childhood development affects our adulthood intelligence.

This description is very broad; but the measurement of intelligence has been very narrow before which didn’t allow for others to be included as intelligent. It is important to take the definition of intelligences and to give that meaning back to the learner and those that work closely with the learner for learning success. Intelligence is a word that has been used by scientists and other thinkers to describe one’s ability to understand concepts and process them quickly to solve problems that come up in our daily lives that we lead. The narrow measurement of intelligences is being challenged by theorist and researchers who have evidence that there are many forms of intelligence that are being overlooked and deserve to be given scholastic attention.
In this essay, the author
- Opines that it is important to take the definition of intelligence and give that meaning back to the learner and those that work closely with them for learning success.

The modern day human being would most likely include the words “smart” and “dumb” in their definition of intelligence. Gardner questioned the belief of only one intelligence so he created his own theory that involved seven different discoveries. He didn’t want to call these discoveries “skills” or “talents” or gifts” because those all suggested a drawback so he decided on the word “intelligence,” creating his theory of multiple intelligences (Gardner 33). Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences including, linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, intrapersonal and interpersonal, has many implications for modern education and culture.

This relatively new theory, developed by the highly esteemed professor and researcher Howard Gardner, apposes traditional views of learners using just two distinct intelligences. Rather, Gardner's theory offers an additional five intelligences that all contribute to the various learning styles preferred by students. The theory also brings into question the teaching styles and assessments used in our education system. If Gardner's theory stands true, then standardized testing puts students with certain intelligences at a disadvantage in the educational system. If students lack linguistic or mathematical intelligence, but excel in other intelligences, such as musical intelligence, there is no possible way to discern that through a mainstream standard test fit for everyone.

He includes and describes eight intelligences that are based on skills and abilities that are valued within different cultures. The eight intelligences include visual-spatial (e.g. sailor navigating with no navigational systems), verbal-linguistic (e.g. poets, writers, orators, and communicators), bodily-kinesthetic (e.g. dancers, athletes, surgeons, craftspeople), logical-mathematical (e.g. mathematicians and logicians), interpersonal(e.g. salespeople, teachers, clinicians, politicians, and religious leaders), musical (e.g. musicians and

Gardner proposed that there are seven forms of intelligence: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinaesthetic, intrapersonal and interpersonal. This theory proposes that teaching and learning should be based on an individual’s different and unique form of intelligence, (Armstrong, 2009). The traditional teaching method encompasses and focuses on verbal linguistic and mathematical logical intelligence. However, the theory by Gardner suggests that there are five other forms of

Furham (2009) sums up Gardner’s definition as “the ability to solve problems or to create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings”. This definition suggests that human intelligence is comprised of more than the predictable success in a western school system. Gardner argues that traditional definitions of intelligence and intelligence testing are too narrow and marginalize people who do not fit traditional education system that focuses on visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, and logical–mathematical intelligences. He supports this with unique cases of idiots savant, who are people with low IQs but excel in skills in areas not measured through tradition IQ tests (Arnett, 2013). MI theory proposes that individual’s intelligence can be differentiated on eight different modalities:
