What does it mean when someone calls you smart or intelligent? According to developmental psychologist Howard Gardner, it could mean one of eight things. In this video interview, Dr. Gardner addresses his eight classifications for intelligence: writing, mathematics, music, spatial, kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWARD GARDNER:
Howard Gardner is a developmental psychologist and the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He holds positions as Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero.
Among numerous honors, Gardner received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981. In 1990, he was the first American to receive the University of Louisville's Grawemeyer Award in Education and in 2000 he received a Fellowship from the John S. Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. In 2005 and again in 2008 he was selected by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines as one of 100 most influential public intellectuals in the world. He has received honorary degrees from twenty-two colleges and universities, including institutions in Ireland, Italy, Israel, and Chile.
The author of over twenty books translated into twenty-seven languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences, a critique of the notion that there exists but a single human intelligence that can be assessed by standard psychometric instruments. During the past twenty five years, he and colleagues at Project Zero have been working on the design of performance-based assessments, education for understanding, and the use of multiple intelligences to achieve more personalized curriculum, instruction, and assessment. In the middle 1990s, Gardner and his colleagues launched The GoodWork Project. "GoodWork" is work that is excellent in quality, personally engaging, and exhibits a sense of responsibility with respect to implications and applications. Researchers have examined how individuals who wish to carry out good work succeed in doing so during a time when conditions are changing very quickly, market forces are very powerful, and our sense of time and space is being radically altered by technologies, such as the web. Gardner and colleagues have also studied curricula. Gardner's books have been translated into twenty-seven languages. Among his books are The Disciplined Mind: Beyond Facts and Standardized Tests, The K-12 Education that Every Child Deserves (Penguin Putnam, 2000) Intelligence Reframed (Basic Books, 2000), Good Work: When Excellence and Ethics Meet (Basic Books, 2001), Changing Minds: The Art and Science of Changing Our Own and Other People's Minds (Harvard Business School Press, 2004), and Making Good: How Young People Cope with Moral Dilemmas at Work (Harvard University Press, 2004; with Wendy Fischman, Becca Solomon, and Deborah Greenspan). These books are available through the Project Zero eBookstore.
Currently Gardner continues to direct the GoodWork project, which is concentrating on issues of ethics with secondary and college students. In addition, he co-directs the GoodPlay and Trust projects; a major current interest is the way in which ethics are being affected by the new digital media.
In 2006 Gardner published Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons, The Development and Education of the Mind, and Howard Gardner Under Fire. In Howard Gardner Under Fire, Gardner's work is examined critically; the book includes a lengthy autobiography and a complete biography. In the spring of 2007, Five Minds for the Future was published by Harvard Business School Press. Responsibility at Work, which Gardner edited, was published in the summer of 2007.

TRANSCRIPT:
Howard Gardner: Currently I think there are eight intelligences that I’m very confident about and a few more that I’ve been thinking about. I’ll share that with our audience. The first two intelligences are the ones which IQ tests and other kind of standardized tests valorize and as long as we know there are only two out of eight, it’s perfectly fine to look at them. Linguistic intelligence is how well you’re able to use language. It’s a kind of skill that poets have, other kinds of writers; journalists tend to have linguistic intelligence...

I think kids should be tested in their early years to see in which intelligence they excel and adjust their education accordingly. The current education systems are terrible.
dnplk I agree the Education system world wide is failing people. They aren't prepared to live in an ever changing complex world, emotionally or intelligently. I blame education on a lot of societies ails ☹️
dnplk minds change man. Kids have undeveloped skills that shape their type of intelligences in the future. He mentioned musical intelligence, which I did not have when I was a child. My mind wasn't big enough to develop complex feelings on music at the time. Now i'm older and my musical bone has grown tenfold. I (or any other teacher) would have never known that i'd be who I am today. To be clear, i'm not dismissing this, but I am just saying it's hard to pinpoint the future of childrens development in some cases
The downside of that is that you're put into a role when you're young and it might turn out later that it doesn't suit you. Or you get tired of it cause you've focused on it too much.
The idea behind the current system is to give everyone a general education and let them specialize later in life.
The problem is this is all subjective fuckery and has nothing to do with reality. Intelligence is the measure of processing efficiency, NOT a measure of developed skill. This entire video is telling a fat kid they are attractive in 8 different ways that are not visual or personality dependent. In other words, complete bullshit.
This is just more Lowest Common Denominator social fuckery. In the real world, most people are just plain stupid. We don't need to placate their feelings in order to measure the ways anomalous people excel. They need to accept their weakness rather than pretending they have some imaginary strength.
Great idea, test kids for their intelligence and innate skills, when their brains haven't even come close to developing fully!
8+ intelligence(s)
1 Linguistic
2 Logical mathematical
3 Musical
4 Spatial
5 Bodily kinesthetic
6 Interpersonal
7 Intrapersonal
8 Naturalist
a Pedagogical
b Existential
~Howard Gardner
The easiest way to test someone's teaching intelligence: have them explain the rules of a board game to you.
Einstein said we shouldn't judge fish by their ability to climb trees, but when we drown the entire forest just to level the playing field for the fish we are not only saying that climbing trees is the only thing that matters, we are blindly killing off the creatures who are the best at it in the name of "equality".
Very well said.
I'm very intelligent! Every HIV test I take comes back positive!
MacaroniRanger 😱😧😭😋
Dude awesome
Same with me only mine was a drug test.
Dude. You’d think you would have learned from the first one. 😉
this must be the most bizarre comment I've ever read
'Existential intelligence' I love that. I always just thought of myself as a philosopher
Lorezzo Albaniny same
I thought it was just a subject of curiosity like entomologists might have questions on cicadas.
everybody is philosopher at least once in life time
Isn't teaching intelligence just a sub category to Interpersonal/Emotional Intelligence?
The example used, understanding that you should use practical examples when explaining to kids and abstract examples when explaining to adults - that sounds like the same intelligence type used to understand people in general
BenRangel I agree, it's the same thing, teaching intelligence and interpersonal and emotional.
You don't normally expect students to emote to your lessons. Teaching intelligence requires information organization, an understanding of how minds learn (not only that individual), linguistic intelligence (presentation skills), and, yes, properly responding to the learner's cues (interpersonal intelligence). As a current event reference, compare the Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint to Mueller's report. You would expect the whistleblower to be a better teacher.
Yep, call any skill an intelligence.
are you stupid?
Midnight Neko I didn't' even watch the video because this is a reupload. The arguments he made for it were weak and he didn't seem to be making a point.
It isn't the skills themselves, it is the brains ability to perform (acquire and use the knowledge) the skill at a high level.
Kind of ironic that you're saying that his arguments are weak by simply saying _the arguments he made for "it" (what is "it") were weak and he didn't seem to be making a point._ *Why* are his arguments weak, and *why* didn't he make a point. You're doing the exact thing you claim he's doing.
Seems you lack the 8th intelligence lmao
i took every iq test and all came back positive. so...
pseudo intellectual what.
pseudo intellectual that's not how they work, they are a cumulative grading scale essentially. 90-200 or so
pseudo intellectual
I took an STD test and it too came back positive. So we have that in common. I'm blessed with the twin sisters of perpetual giving, Gonorrhea and Herpes. 😳
Nice humour intelligence
i have fapping intelligence
How about the bullshit detection intelligence?
Mauricio Maisterrena seems like it would be interpersonal intelligence
This is very interesting and thought provoking, but I'd love to know what his definition of an intelligence is. What does he consider a skill and what does he consider intelligence?
For example, traditionally, intelligence is marked by two traits - being able to learn quickly, and being able to solve problems. He didn't mention either of these two. Why would creative problem solving not be an intelligence? I.e. being able to think outside the box, and find creative solutions that others might not find? And in learning, being able to understand new concepts quickly. And being able to combine new concepts learned to form independent hypotheses that are independent of anything taught to the person. Or from a different perspective (maybe more Pavlovian), being able to derive conclusions from fewer data than other people. e.g. learning that when you push the button food comes out.
What you detailed seems to form part (or all) of the foundation of his 8. For example, interpersonal intelligence: observe limited cues from person to make correct inferences and respond creatively (e.g., humor) with accurate predication of response. We seem to use what you describe in particular subject areas and that's what he's trying to distinguish.
I agree these don't seem like intelligences at all. Musical intelligence and "bodily intelligence" seem a lot more like just skills. Sure, you can be naturally good at things, but do we really label every natural skill as intelligence?
Someone who is good at dancing or football we wouldn't declare intelligent for their skills. This is just a weird clash of meaning.
great video. interesting to see the way people work within their natural intelligences and strengths. it's very clear it isn't just "one" intelligence. rather many areas.
fyi the fringe idiots claiming "it's all wrong" is nonsense. everyone agrees intelligence isn't just one rigid thing. it's many which is demonstrable and this guy elaborates well
Actually, it is nonsense. In fact it is Gardner's views that are on the fringe as there is essentially no empirical evidence for his Multiple Intelligences hypothesis, while there is overwhelming evidence for the general intelligence hypothesis. It is pseudoscience that, unfortunately, has found an eager audience in some areas such as education (www.skeptic.com/insight/the-myth-of-learning-styles/).
Brian Carnell no it isn't. it's very much a great framework for learning as he explains.
www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-personality-analyst/201403/how-many-new-intelligences-are-there
Educate yourself
It's pseudoscience...did you actually read the article you linked to? In there we learn there are far more intelligences than even the 8 that Gardner has settled on...there is apparently:
-Risk intelligence
-Psychic intelligence
-Conversational intelligence
-Sexual intelligence
...even Divine intelligence
Gardner himself keeps changing the number of intelligences he thinks exists.
It's all pseudoscientific just so stories where some aspect of human psychology is declared a brand new intelligence on a whim, with no empirical evidence to back it up.
www.psychologytoday.com/blog/unique-everybody-else/201311/the-illusory-theory-multiple-intelligences
www.illinoisloop.org/mi.html
Brian Carnell yes did you read it? he explains clearly that different people have different unique abilities and strengths that others do not. thus calling it intelligence is valid even if you can't separate them all in neat little groups. It isn't pseudoscience just because you assert that
I agree with Mario. Although I understand the point that there is only "one intelligence," I believe it really only measures our capacity and ability to undertake and excel at the many other versions of intelligence. Again, like he says in the video, I don't believe it really matters how many versions we settle on, the point being that there are many. I'm sure there will be more "discovered" and even more created as we continue to advance and understand ourselves. I do think his theory of the 8 listed and even the other possibilities are well thought out and also well explained here.
this sounds like horoscope intelligence - any definition can fit anyone..
it actually doesn't really make sense to say someone is dumb because of his IQ even though he has all these great skills (social or anything mentioned in the video) that have nothing or little to do with logical thinking.
@Christopher Eric yeah but monkey also can't paint realistic portraits, create symphonies, do a certain coordinated motion at a certain time following a certain rythm (dance, martial arts), think about meaning of life, and a lot of other things which most humans can do. generly if a person is good with drawing and scores bad on iq test. does that make him stupid now let's say that same person was given the" draw a man test" the he will probably do great but a person good with maths may suck at it now does that make the person good with math stupid. also person without formal education won't do better than any monkey on the iq test and there is also no correlation with language and intelligence. language it is a rather human thing that we develop as we grow . Would you call a person with aphasia and genetic aphasia stupid or what about dyslexics if it's severity is high a person might have really low iq but it doesn't mean that they are stupid it is just that they have hard time with processing language. And monkeys are seen in wild to have a social group same with chimps so it might not be that monkeys lack hight iq but they lack language. And iq could just be a really human and neurotypical thing just like painting and dancing so it will be fucking stupid to judge monkey on iq test degined for humans. Which frankly are even unable to judge human intelligence.
@Christopher Eric also the best way to think about these Intelligence is to think about them as each intelligence has its own scale and some people are born with higher intelligence in certain areas or there brain favours certain intelligence so the bar fills faster over other bars so someone good with words might have lower brain capacity for math but through practice he can gradually develop a intuition for math if they focus on it and give it more time and effort. There bar for mathematical intelligence might fill as they work with math.
Linguistic Intelligence, Musical Intelligence and Intra-personal Intelligence
As a kid, I was articulate in language. My parents and relatives called me intelligent. I sucked in math. My confidence dropped. I thought I had been decieved my whole life. Internet videos like these are not just informing but therapeutic too, they give me an understanding of what I was going through. I don't hold a grudge against anyone, because they have been misguided and misinformed themselves.
What about emotional intelligence? Or feeling intelligence such as picking up on vibes? Being an empath...
i think we should focus on how kids lean by hands on activities or by visual and go from there
Jordan Peterson's research debunks this and all can be attributed to the Big 5 personality traits: Openess; Conscientiousness; Extraversion; Neuroticism; Agreeableness
Here is how I would rate myself on a 1-10 scale for each.
Linguistic Intelligence: 8
Logical Mathematical Intelligence: 9
Musical Intelligence: 1
Spatial Intelligence: 10
Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence: 4
Interpersonal Intelligence: 5
Intrapersonal Intelligence: 8
Naturalist Intelligence: 5
Twerking intelligence?
+KuffārJuice I have a genius level twerk appreciation intelligence
heh, give it a few years and you'll see it in the books
Existencial intelligence. I have come to believe that such intelligence can mostly be developed in solitude, further than refering to temporarily meditations I refer to living a lonely life, where you are least motivated by social trends. Years have taken me to conclude that, as I am my own subject of investigation.
As a result of the way I was brought up and my adult life, I have come to ask questions like that, being the most common "what's the purpose of life?". And that, I think, it's mainly because I can't entirely identify myself with another individual, at the time that I can understand certain behaviors up to being sympathetic toward them.
The understanding of how meaningless some human trends and even customs are, gives you space to ask questions that intended to go deeper in the meaning of our existence.
Nowadays, because most humans simulate "personalities" behaviors, and the increasing connection between cultures, I will be more and more difficult for people like this to "survive", because I may understand my position most of the time, but there are lots of people who think they are just abnormal, because they won't find someone in their everyday life to discuss the tropics they think about everyday.
An inconclusive comment, maybe,...but even scientists keep trying to understand the topic. So please don't blame me lol (lol to be more human).
I truly enjoyed the intelligence of breaking down intelligence of various kinds (which might in fact have dozens or more). Agreed 100% with respect to "existential intelligence", probably the least developed in our materialistic, narrow-day-to-day perspective and conditioned society.
However, as I have been posting on various youtube commentaries about climate change, structured water, mind, politics, wars etc, there is a lack of the important consideration of some ancient East Asia philosophies/ religions, especially Zen, Taoism. What it was called here as "intra-personal" intelligence (as something special) is exactly what these ancient sages naturally did and propagated since over 2,500 years ago. One of their sayings is that we need to "turn the light around inside and constantly look/ observe your own self, thoughts, actions, emotions etc".
Therefore, on this last subject, we mostly westernized societies have been hibernated and forgotten this ancient type of "intelligence", which in fact it is one of the most important to help govern our own selves and the relationships with other beings.
Someone like this should be overseeing our education system
Dear Big Think and Dr Gardner,
Existential intelligence was amazing. Although i think the teaching and interpersonal can be in one category and we can call it "Empathy". when will we acknowledge empathy as an intelligence? by empathy i mean "thinking from another person's perspective"
How does he see
He has seeing intelligence
@@Synqronizer LMAO
I'm going to need to watch that again.
Great video
I feel like these aren't really types of intelligence as they are different applications of intelligence. Cause intelligence really is just like one central thing in your head. It's like whenever you look at 5x3 and in your head you figure out the answer almost automatically. That's your intelligence perking up and figuring it out. Same with when you're trying to figure out what to say to someone or you're figuring out a word. The difference between someone who understands language and music well and someone who understands logic and people well is they just developed their application of intelligence in certain frequently used things. Which he could mean for all I know, but I wanted to make that distinction
Also I think some people are definitely born more intelligent than some people. It seems no different than being taller or faster. I think it develops when you're fetal or a baby and cannot be changed manually. You can become more knowledgable but you can't physically change your brain without mushing the whole thing up lol
Oh I got quite a few of those intelligence markers.
as for me, these concepts are closer to words "ability" "literacy"
and the notion of intellects is more merged
Very good video. Thanks for sharing!
i got the wildest deja vu is this not a re-upload?
Very informative and inspiring video!!
Ok +Like, that man is very intelligent in teaching new things and he was very funny at the end.
So, I am a tad bit confused as to the musical intelligence.. for, yout stated you contain it when one can appreciate and understand music correct? which I can, yet at the moment, i have no ability to reproduce music or create it.. so would I have it? although the answer seems to be no.. as an artist.. for painting and drawing, this would be spatial and kinesthetic correct? i think i have them all except for the musical one.. maybe i should focus on that now? wouls that mean I could be a true polymath?
The Texas government's response to my kind of intelligence was to make practicing law without passing the bar illegal. In 2007.
Brilliant.
the vizualisation of 3d objects or design something and see it working on your mind. and also hearing people voices by thinking and remembering them,. that another kind of intelligence.
I agree with most of this. But to be fair, no one knows what animals are really thinking so for all we know, some do think about their existence to an extent.
I wonder if you could argue that there's a Learning Intelligence. We are naturally programmed to intake and analyze information but exactly how effectively one does this can vary greatly. For example I tend to do well in school because i very quickly understand the meaning and reasoning behind information, whereas I have friends who have to spend more time reviewing to get a similar understanding. You could say that it falls under logical intelligence for things like math but learning about less direct concepts like history doesn't really use logical int.
I would see it a bit diffrent, there is also an ability to have a better perceptional intelligence. But it makes absolutely sense to try to sort things in specilisation patterns, so mainly I agree.
What about creative intelligence? Where does that fit in?
wow..this was about to be my facebook status..log in and see a vid for it
Oh my goodness, I fell in love ❤️️with this old grandpa, I wish I'll be his friend and he just talks to me until I sleep
Is this a repost?? I swear I watched this before
Musical intelligence and spacial intelligence go hand in had (as kinesthetic intelligence, of course ;-)).
All the things Howard Gardner mentioned were skills that could be learned and are usually thought to people. Can that be considered intelligence, something that is thought?
What about comedic intelligence? Is it the same as language? It seems to me that they could be significantly distinct, specially with the distinctions you make.
great video !
What about persuasive intelligence? Visualization intelligence? Empathy intelligence? Bowling intelligence? Ehhhgghh
amazing content. nuff said
He missed one. 'BSIQ' - the ability to perceive when you're being bullshitted. Mine's peaking while he talks... hmmmm.
life might be short for you old man, but we are on the verge of biological and physical immortality. 2030 is the dawn of a new era
Delusions wow
We are very much obsessed with the first two intelligences.
WHY DO YOU KEEP RE-UPLOADING OLD VIDEOS?
So, someone with a strong intrapersonal intelligence will know if they want to either work on their weak intelligence continue to pursue their strong intelligence.
Also, isn't autism is essentially just someone with a low interpersonal intelligence?
Peter kreeff's doppelganger
for people who are really not smart there is also another kind of intelligence to make them feel good about themselves. That is the ability to evacuate their bowels on a regular basis. I won't give you my best guess on what that kind of IQ is called.
Artistic intelligence? The symbol as a primary cross cultural means of communication. Does that fit with the second intelligence? Ether
Yep.
Summary:
The kinds of Intelligence mentioned are:
1. Linguistic Intelligence: Journalist
2. Logical Intelligence: Mathematician
3. Musical Intelligence:
4. Spatial intelligence: Work in space that's close by. Chess, Surgeon, Pilot, Sea Captain
5. Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence: Using whole body to do things.
Dancers, Sports and Crafts people
6. Interpersonal Intelligence: Understanding other people. Leaders and sales people
7. Intra-personal Intelligence: Understanding yourself. It is important because people lead their own lives, take their own careers, switch careers. If you don't understand yourself, you're in big trouble.
8. Naturalist Intelligence: The intelligence of Charles Darwin
9. Existential Intelligence: Only Humans are capable of this. Questions like:
Why does it mean to love? Why do we have to die? What's gonna happen in the future?
10. Teaching Intelligence:
This one is funnier than the Michio Kaku free will promo.
Why is everyone so inclined to denounce IQ and IQ tests? It literally just seems like all these people either scored low or are too afraid to take a test themselves from fear of the result.
Like seriously it's the most objective and reliable from of an intelligence test we have right now, why can't people respect it as that? Obviously it's not an absolute in terms of intelligence measurments, but that's no reason to disregard it because 'I believe that this sort of intelligence doesn't matter' or 'as long as you understand it's only two of the 200 forms of intelligence'.
Why not just say fucking well done to people who get high scores and stop trying to patronise people who have higher merits of intellect.
Well, so is there a test app on Facebook for these intelligences already, that would tell me which type of street sign are my intelligence most similar to?
IMO he's totally missing the interactions between these "intelligences" and corresponding underlying intelligence factor(s)--these are merely surface types. At best, these are emergent surface intelligence types, at worst, arbitrary dividing lines in the human intellect--which can't be characterized in this fashion. The g factor is far more appealing--especially considering personality, nurture, and the possibility of multiple dimensions of g interconnecting and underlying these surface designations.
Play to strength.
I'm fairly high on about 4 of those. I'm pretty fucking smart.
Humor could be emergent of logic and interpersonal. I expect (provided one buys into the scheme) that most qualities and abilities are combinations of 2 or more.
Humor intelligence would be logical and lingual intelligence coupled with inter-personal intelligence.
NOTHING BEATS GRONINGEN
Very important to know this and share it (as a teacher) so kids all know they are gifted...often in more than one way. Dyslexic students struggle with those that shine in class, but absolutely thrive in intelligences that the world needs!
dyselxics can still figure out their way. average people can't
the 4 Jungian Cognitive functions in their 2 attitudes: Ti Te Ni Ne Si Se Fi Fe.
Key words: Carl Jung, Socionics, Model A, MBTI
Thanks Howard Gardner and Big Think, this really did inspire me to dwell on this topic, and my questions are: What is the difference between being clever and being intelligent, is it a matter of ethics, and what is the mechanism that causes our society to promote and reward one over the other?
For instance, if I zoom out a little from the sub-groupings it seems that intelligence is singular ie 'the quest for understanding' not involving ethics but cleverness can go two ways, hurtful or non-hurtful to others.
Why call the things that are mentioned in this video intelligence? In the video, he refers to the lack of difference between to musical talent and logical intelligence. It's also possible to still have an overall intelligence, but this intelligence is supported by the many talents someone might have. For example logical and musical talent.
Think of it like in a game. Most games have an overall "IQ", your current level, which is supported by the many talents one might have. In games like skyrim most talents are very practical one, like one-handed combat or blacksmithing, but you can probably change those for more broad terms, like musical or logical talent.
I know a couple of people who have no existential intelligence, one is too much into nutzy videos that explain life and has no ability to chose what to think or believe in certain situations or why and virtually believes anything on youtube, another one has an extremely hedonistic view of life and when he is depressed by something like a divorce etc he never has anything even close to an epifany or any kind of self reflection, he just wallows and drinks.
I think most of us have a combination of many of these.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand I am neither of the 8 😖
Zane He actually came up with these theories over thirty years ago.
I Am A Man .... neither?
Jack of no trades :D
Rather odd that you're saying its pseudoscience, when you're not giving any arguments *why* it is pseudoscience (are you a psuedoscientist?).
Should be 'I am none of the 8.' Neither only applies when you have 2 items. Like I am neither dumb nor dumber!! :)
Can't the 10th actually be called or related to the word and meaning of metaphysical?
so everybody can fit on the system, no problemo
I find that some people, including myself, have multiple intelligences. Also, Google spell check doesn't recognize the spelling of that word, "intelligences."
They're all talents not intelligence. Intelligence implies a fixed, innate ability while the behaviors you mentioned are learned.
He missed one. The ability to comprehend how the world interacts with you through senses and the levels at which each being can understand it and applies it in their everyday life. Example is the alarm clock in your head. Some people don't even use alarm clocks.
truck driver, auto mechanics, chess player, football very good athletic good at inspireing people and teaching could be better at math deep thinker very curious mind
I think theres at least 2 more
would there be a culinary intelligence via the tongue and nose
isn't pedagogical intelligence covered in interpersonal intelligence?
multiple intelligences are a good thought but they have not empirically established. and there are hoards of people who have different types of intelligences. what about someone like betrand russel
I have the elevententh intelligance!
I'm excellent at all of these
"Multiple intelligence theory" has been debunked plenty of times at this point.
Andy Sebastian no it hasn't. it is used in numerous studies for intelligence and cognition. these are well established strengths. stop peddling nonsense
Mario Pendic Then show me measurements of these "kinds" of intelligence from which the general intelligence factor cannot be statistically extracted. Every single attempt to formulate tests of these alleged aptitudes give results that are positively correlated to one another and that reduce to g. Oh, and some explanation for how these "kinds" of intelligence were chosen seemingly arbitrarily would help too.
Do you actually know what you're talking about?
Andy Sebastian
www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-personality-analyst/201403/how-many-new-intelligences-are-there
I already explained to you that it isn't how many or the labels. rather which are practical and measurable.
Read up on it first
Mario Pendic So what position are you supporting? If you're supporting Gardener's original claims in his papers, you're flat out wrong. If you're supporting his specific "types" of intelligence but not claiming that they're independent, you need to explain how you came to create them. But now you seem to dismiss the importance of the specific labels and instead just say that "some people are better at some things than other things". This is technically true. It is also so trivial as to be worthless, and certainly not worth a video and academic lecture.
Andy Sebastian he claims there are many different intelligences to be measured which is accurate. Have you not heard of spacial intelligence? Or visual? these are all used in tests. he never said they can't be correlated, simply that they are all not in one box that you can fit. telling a child " well you can't do math therefore your writing skills are going to suck" is not remotely helpful or accurate because that's not how intelligence works
He forgot "street smarts". I've got a 3rd grade education, but have managed to create my own business making butt-loads of money. If I was educated I'd be dangerous (I have a 150 IQ)...
If you did not figure out that education and intelligence are really unrelated, and that the IQ does not prove a point here... You might not be as intelligent as you think you are. Btw IQ measures the first two that he mentioned, so no need for your "category".
PS If you were educated, it might even be a disadvantage, robbing you of curiosity and other traits. Just sayin.
isn't this video from 2015 or so?
This does seem like pseudoscience. But that's only because we understand so little of intelligence that it's hard to make any conclusions on it. It's true we need these different "intelligences", which I prefer to describe as ways of thinking or skills, for the maintenance and growth of society. But what correlates with overall intelligence is the mass of the brain. Though, we definitely need to fully understand the functions of the brain before we rush to any conclusions
I think maybe this guy might have played some Dungeons & Dragons in the 1970s. His theory of multiple intelligences, which he came out with in 1983, shares very similar traits to skills and abilities thought up by D&D creator Gary Gygax.
1 - 2: Linguistic and Numerical intelligences - These are represented through the character ability stat 'Intelligence' where a character shows the ability to read and write and solve riddles and puzzles.
3 : Musical Intelligence - The character class 'Bard' utilizes their musical intelligence to create spells.
4 : Spatial Intelligence - This is characterized in the game as 'Direction Sense', the ability of characters to tell what direction they are going in reference to natural cues. This is emphasized in dwarves while underground.
5 : Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence - The ability stat 'Dexterity' covers this through the use of hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, and fine motor skills.
6 : Interpersonal Intelligence - This is the ability stat 'Charisma', the ability of a character to persuade others.
7 : Intrapersonal Intelligence - 'Wisdom', another ability stat, covers a character's self-awareness through their willpower, common sense, perception, and intuition.
8 : Naturalistic Intelligence - The character class 'Druid' is the epitome of this form of intelligence.
