What is the theory of multiple intelligences?
The theory of multiple intelligences is
Howard Gardners theory that proposes that people
are not born with all of the intelligence they
will ever have. It says that intelligence can be
learned throughout life. Also, it claims that
everyone is intelligent in at least seven
different ways and can develop each aspect of
intelligence to an average level of competency.
Intelligence, as defined by Gardner, is the
ability to solve problems or fashion products
that are valuable in one or more cultural
settings.
4
The 7 intelligences included in Gardners theory
are
Verbal/ Linguistic Visual/ Spatial Interpersona
l Musical/ Rhythmic Logical/ Mathematical Intra
personal Bodily/ Kinesthetic
5
There are 8 Criteria for Defining Multiple
Intelligences
Each of the intelligences can potentially be
isolated by brain damage. Each of the
intelligences exists in exceptional people
(savants or prodigies). Each of the
intelligences has a process of developing during
normal child development and has a peak end-state
performance. Each of the intelligences is
evidenced in species other than human
beings. Each of the intelligences has been
tested using various measures not necessarily
associated with intelligence. Each of the
intelligences can work without the others being
present. Each of the intelligences has a set of
identifiable operations. Each of the
intelligences can be symbolized or has its own
unique symbol or set of symbols.
6
The theory of multiple intelligences has
encouraged the idea that a person is not born
with all the intelligence they will ever possess.
In the rest this slide show, each of the
intelligences will be explained to give you a
better understanding of Howard Gardners theory.

  logical puzzles, and calculating.

Spatial Intelligence
19
What is spatial intelligence?

• Spatial intelligence is the brains ability to
  perceive and interpret visual stimuli. In other
  words, its how our minds process what we see.
  Although not very recognized, spatial
  intelligence is very important in the arts and in
  everyday life.

20
Why is spatial intelligence important?

• The way that we visually perceive and interpret
  the world around us is an important quality to
  have. In the arts, the ability to transfer a
  vision to a painting, sculpture, or film is a key
  quality. Careers such as architecture, require a
  person to transfer a vision of a structure into a
  blueprint. Spatial intelligence is even used by
  average people to remember small, but important
  facts like how to travel from your school to
  your house. Everyone uses spatial intelligence in
  everyday life.
