Ashlyn HickeyFCS 101-0110/11/19Assignment #41.) Describe the theory of multiple intelligences.Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of cognition and education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, developed his theory of multiple intelligences twenty years ago. Simply put, Dr. Gardner posits that people employ several different types of intelligence, rather than one general type. Gardner proposed that there are eight intelligences and has suggested the possible addition of a ninth known as "existentialist intelligence." a.) Visual-Spatial Intelligence strengths are visual and spatial judgment. People who are strong in visual-spatial intelligence are good at visualizing things. These individuals are often good with directions as well as maps, charts, videos, and pictures. Characteristics ofvisual-spatial intelligence include: enjoys reading and writing, good at putting puzzles together, good at interpreting pictures, graphs, and charts, enjoys drawing, painting, and the visual arts, and recognizes patterns easily. If you're strong in visual-spatial intelligence, good career choices for you are: Architect, Artist, and Engineer.b.) Linguistic-Verbal Intelligence strengths are words, language, and writing. People who arestrong in linguistic-verbal intelligence are able to use words well, both when writing and speaking. These individuals are typically very good at writing stories, memorizing information, and reading.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence Strengths: Analyzing problems and mathematical operations. People who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at reasoning, recognizing patterns, and logically analyzing problems. These individuals tendto think conceptually about numbers, relationships, and patterns. Characteristics of logical-mathematical intelligence include: Excellent problem-solving skills, enjoys thinking about abstract ideas, likes conducting scientific experiments, good at solving complex computations. If you're strong in logical-mathematical intelligence, good career choices for you are: Scientist, Mathematician, Computer programmer, Engineer, and Accountant.d.) Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence Strengths: Physical movement, motor control. Those whohave high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are said to be good at body movement, performing actions, and physical control. People who are strong in this area tend to have excellent hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Characteristics of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence include: good at dancing and sports, enjoys creating things with his or herhands, excellent physical coordination, tends to remember by doing, rather than hearing or seeing.

Philosophers.) Writert.) Theoristu.) Scientistv.) 8 w.) Naturalistic Intelligence x.) Strengths: Finding patterns and relationships to naturey.) Naturalistic is the most recent addition to Gardner’s theory and has been met with more resistance than his original seven intelligences. According to Gardner, individuals who are high in this type of intelligence are more in tune with nature and are often interested in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about other species. These individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.1z.) Characteristics aa.)Characteristics of naturalistic intelligence include:bb.) Interested in subjects such as botany, biology, and zoologycc.)Good at categorizing and cataloging information easilydd.) May enjoy camping, gardening, hiking, and exploring the outdoorsee.)Doesn’t enjoy learning unfamiliar topics that have no connection to natureff.) Potential Career Choices gg.) If you're strong in naturalistic intelligence, good career choices for you are:hh.) Biologistii.) Conservationistjj.) Gardenerkk.)
