Howard Gardner’s Theory on Multiple Intelligences

September 8th, 2008 by Chandell Asuncion

Multiple Intelligences
We all possess all eight intelligences (listed below) that function together in different ways, which are unique to each person. Each of the eight areas can be strengthened and developed with exposure to different activities and exercises. Strengths may be exhibited in different ways within each category. For example a person may not be able to read, but may still be able to tell a great story. (Both rely on linguistic intelligence.)

Below you will find resources to:

  1. Take the test to see your areas of strength and development
  2. Review data to compare and analyze your results
  3. Define and develop each of the eight intelligences (Optional – Independent Study)

step 1Take the Multiple Intelligences Test and find out your current strengths. Some areas will be highly developed, some modestly developed, and other areas may be underdeveloped.

step 2Review these charts to compare and analyze results – add observations as a comment to this post.

step 3Multiple Intelligences Definitions and Activities to Develop your Child’s Gifts and Talents (Source Family Education)
Four quick tips, activities by age, and parent-approved activities, celebrity profiles, possible careers, and related articles & activities.

  1. Linguistic (all about words, speak, read, write and listen)
  2. Logical – Mathematical (look for patterns when they solve problems)
  3. Spatial (the ability to form mental images and measure space)
  4. Bodily – Kinesthetic (talk with their hands and learn by doing–hands-on activities)
  5. Musical (earliest talent to emerge, sing and match rhythmic structures)
  6. Interpersonal (understanding other people)
  7. Intrapersonal (has a strong sense of self)
  8. Naturalistic (easily classify plants, animals and other things in nature, such as dinosaurs etc.)
