What are Gardner’s 9 types of intelligence

Linguistic
Logical-Mathematical 
Spatial 
Musical
Bodily- Kinesthetic
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
Naturalistic
Existential

What type of intelligence involves sensitivity to the meanings and sounds of words, mastery of syntax, appreciation of the ways language can be used

Linguistics

What type of intelligence involves Understanding of objects and symbols and of actions that be performed on them and of the relations between these actions, ability to identify problems and seek explanations

Logical- Mathematical

What type of intelligence involves capacity to perceive the visual world accurately, to perform transformations upon perceptions and to re-create aspects of visual experience in the absence of physical stimuli

Spatial

What type of intelligence involves Sensitivity to individual tones and phrases of music, an understanding of ways to combine tones and phrases into larger musical rhythms and structures, awareness of emotional aspects of music

Musical

What type of intelligence involves Use of one’s body in highly skilled ways for expressive or goal-directed purposes, capacity to handle objects skillfully

Bodily Kinesthetic

What type of intelligence involves the Ability to notice and make distinctions among the moods, temperaments, motivations, and intentions of other people and potentially to act on this knowledge

Interpersonal

What type of intelligence involves access to one’s own feelings, ability to draw on one’s emotions to guide and understand one’s behavior, recognition of personal strengths and weaknesses

Intrapersonal

What type of intelligence involves sensitivity and understanding of plants, animals, and other aspects of nature

Naturalistic

What type of intelligence involves sensitivity to issues related to the meaning of life, death, and other aspects of the human condition

Existential

What type of intelligence involves the ability to perceive, express, understand, and regulate emotions

Emotional

What theory is the Author of a Triarchic theory of multiple intelligences consisting of of 3 mental abilities

Robert Sternberg

What are Sternberg's types of intelligence

Analytic, Practical | Creative

What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve familiar problems by using strategies that manipulate the elements of a problem or the relationship among the elements (e.g., comparing, analyzing)

Analytical

What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve new kinds of problems that require us to think about the problem and its elements in a new way (e.g., inventing, designing)

Experimental

What type of Sternberg intelligence involves : Trying to solve problems that apply what we know to everyday contexts (e.g., applying, using)

Contextual/Practical

What is involved in the 1st battery of test according to Francis Galton

Sensory and motor measures Height, weight, hand length, head breadth, arm span, length of middle finger, strength of hand squeeze, vital capacity of lungs, highest audible tone, reaction time

What kind of Intelligence test involves: Follows a moving object with the eyes. Recognizes the difference between a square of chocolate and a square of wood. Finds and eats a square of chocolate wrapped in paper. Points to familiar named objects, e.g., “Show me the cup.” Names objects in pictures, e.g., “What is this?” Repeats three spoken digits. Defines common words by function. Repeats a sentence of 15 words. Tells how two common objects are different, e.g., “paper and cardboard.” 15. Responds to 25 abstract (comprehension) questions, e.g., “When a person has offended you, and comes to offer his apologies, what should you do?” Defines abstract words by designating the difference between, e.g., “boredom and weariness.”
