Types of Intelligence
There’s an interesting 9 minute video over at BigThink.com. It’s titled, “There are 8 classes of intelligence. Which are you?“
The Description:
Although the title says there are 8 classes of intelligence, as you’ll hear, developmental psychologist Dr. Howard Gardner, actually discusses the whys and wherefores of 10 of them:
- linguistic intelligence – our capacity to use language
- logical/mathematical intelligence – our capacity to use logic and analysis
- musical intelligence – our capacity to create or enjoy music
- spatial intelligence – our capacity to handle and work in space that’s close by
- bodily/kinesthetic intelligence – our capacity to engage our bodies to solve problems or do or make things
- interpersonal intelligence – our capacity to engage with, and understand, other people
- intrapersonal intelligence – our capacity to to engage with, and understand, ourselves
- naturalist intelligence – our capacity to make important distinctions in the world around us
- pedagogical intelligence – our capacity to to teach others
- existential intelligence – our capacity to ask (and try to answer) the bigger philosophical questions
The Link:
I was going to embed the video into this post, but apparently BigThink frowns upon such things and considers that a violation of its Intellectual Property Rights – which I acknowledge and respect.
So, instead, here’s a link – https://bigthink.com/the-well/classes-of-intelligence/ – which I encourage you to follow.
Enjoy!
