MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES, SYNERGOGY, AND LEARNING STYLES INVENTORY Flashcards
often defined as our intellectual potential; something we are
born with, something that can be measured, and a capacity that is difficult to change.
Intelligence
This determines our ability to solve problems, reason logically, and learn new information.
Intelligence
It’s seen as a fixed trait that we carry from birth, suggesting that this core
ability to reason and understand is largely predetermined by our genetics.
Intelligence
intelligence is often measured through standardized tests, such as IQ tests, which aim to quantify this potential and compare it across individuals.
Intelligence
this view implies that while we can learn new skills and acquire knowledge, the fundamental level of intelligence remains relatively stable and hard to significantly alter over time.
Intelligence
which represents a single, underlying cognitive ability influencing performance across a variety of intellectual tasks.
General Intelligence
This relates to the notion “If you’re skilled in one area, you’re expected to be skilled in everything, and if you struggle in one area, the assumption is that you won’t excel in anything.”
General Intelligence
Gardner’s define intelligence as:
“biopsychological potential to process
information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture”
Take Note:
intelligence involves both biological and
psychological components, reflecting an individual’s inherent capacity to process and understand information. However, the expression of this intelligence is shaped by cultural context, meaning that different cultures may activate and value different types of intelligence based on their unique needs and values.
is a cognitive model that explains how people utilize their various intelligences to solve problems. This theory challenged the conventional belief that there is one single type of intelligence, known as “g” for general intelligence, that only focuses on cognitive abilities.
Multiple Intelligences Theory
This theory proposes that traditional psychometric views of intelligence are too limited.
Multiple intelligences theory
Take Note:
Gardner argues that intelligence is multifaceted, meaning a person can excel in one area and be average in another. He took the traditional view of society’s emphasis on linguistic and mathematical intelligences and added six more intelligences and have come up with eight different intelligences.
Types of Intelligence
linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal.
Later, he expanded the list to eight and add naturalistic intelligence.
According to this theory, individuals possess different kinds of intellectual strengths, and each person has a unique combination of these intelligences that influence how they learn, think, and solve problems. Thus, a person can be strong or weak in any of the intelligences, regardless of his or her ability in the other domains.
Multiple intelligences theory
language and words come easily to a person. This involves the capacity of a person to think through words and use language to express and understand complex ideas.
Linguistic Intelligence
It’s what helps people get the meaning and structure of language and reflect on how they use it. This skill is pretty common and is especially noticeable in poets, novelists, journalists, and great speakers.
Linguistic Intelligence
If you’re someone who loves writing, reading, telling stories, or tackling crossword puzzles, they might have a strong _____
Linguistic Intelligence
a person can easily perceive quantitative relationships, particularly related to computations and scientific areas.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
is the skill to perform calculations, measure things, think through ideas and hypotheses, and complete various mathematical tasks. It helps us understand relationships, use abstract and symbolic thinking, and apply sequential reasoning as well as inductive and deductive logic.
Logical Intelligence
This type of intelligence is often strong in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. People with high logical intelligence are usually intrigued by patterns, categories, and connections, and they often enjoy working on math problems, strategy games, and experiments.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
a person has awareness of their own and others’ position in space. The knack for thinking in three dimensions. It involves skills like visualizing mental images, understanding spatial relationships, manipulating images, and having artistic and graphic abilities.
Spatial Intelligence
are often found in professions like sailing, piloting, sculpting, painting, and architecture. People with this talent might enjoy solving mazes or jigsaw puzzles, drawing, or daydreaming in their spare time.
Spatial Intelligence
a person has graceful body movements and awareness of positions in space. The ability to handle objects and perform various physical tasks with skill. It includes having a good sense of timing and refining abilities through coordination between mind and body.
Bodily Kinesthetic intelligence
Persons like athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople, are adept at using their bodies in precise and controlled ways.
Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence
a person is particularly sensitive to sound and has an ability to create and communicate through rhythmic patterns. The ability to distinguish pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. It lets us recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, a skill seen in composers, conductors, musicians, vocalists, and keen listeners.
Musical Intelligence
might frequently sing or drum to themselves and are often more attuned to sounds that others might overlook.
Musical Intelligence
