Intelligence theory

I believe that Howard Gardener’s theory of multiple intelligence has the best explanation for intelligence. It is because Gardner explained intelligence in more than one element and gave room for new intelligence concepts as research about intelligence continues. Gardener classifies intelligence in eight ways: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, spatial, logical-mathematics, intrapersonal, naturalist, and linguistic intelligence.

Musical intelligence is the ability to acquire the skill of producing, presenting, and acknowledging music. It involves learning to play musical instruments, sing, understand music theory, and recognize music patterns, while bodily-kinesthetic intelligence involves the ability to accurately control the body and body movements. People with this ability do well in crafts, sports, and artwork. On the other hand, interpersonal intelligence is compared to social interactions. It explains the ability to interact with people quickly and make friendships, communicate fluently with others, and control emotions during interaction with other people. Emotional control includes understanding other people’s reactions and expressing and utilizing emotions during communication (Chen et al., 2022). Consistently, spatial intelligence is defined as the ability to appreciate the environment and space and use the available space within the environment that we are in. It applies primarily during dancing, sports activities, and crafts.

Subsequently, logical-mathematical intelligence mainly represents the language domain. It involves acquiring knowledge ability to read and write in all languages, including the mother language, while intrapersonal intelligence deals with personal elements. It involves being able to accept, realize, and condition one own emotions. Naturalist intelligence on the other hand is the ability to acknowledge nature. It involves realizing and planting various plants, taking care of animals, and the desire to be outside relaxing. Lastly, linguistic intelligence represents the aspect of language. It involves learning many languages, the first language, writing, learning new words, and reading independently.

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory.
