+SirMikeys I think that's probably just your biological need for mating filtered through your intra and interpersonal intelligences, not a seperate intelligence altogether.
+William Grace The difference between interpersonal intelligence and intrapersonal intelligence is what leads to children developing an introverts or an extravert personality.
This is something I've been saying for years. We all know people who can barely read and write but can do other things that the rest of us cannot. These are just as important as any other.
As an anecdotal example, I've known quite a few "hillbillies" (I grew up in Kentucky) that couldn't make change but they could teardown and rebuild any vehicle you put in front of them, including tractors, four-wheelers, etc. lol
@@3nertia that's called knowledge. Knowledge is information obtained through experience and repetition intelligence on the other hand is the ability to break down, understand and reapply complex information meaning you won't find a hillbilly that can't make change but can create a fusion reactor
@@Spartanxxzachxx The exact same thing could litteraly be said for any city Billy, or suburban Billy, silly Billy (or any other Billy or body for that matter.)
@@Spartanxxzachxx You think auto mechanics isn't complex you should think again. Not to mention the witness stated how the billies could do this on a wide variety of machines. While there are similarities among gas engines, there are way more differences which would require a deep understanding of each of the thousands & thousands of parts including not only their individual function, but how they all interact.
Dependant on the likely various aspects, it could go either way... That's a judgement call and you can never know if you were right or wrong. Having to choose only one they'll be no comparison. All you can do is speculate, and guestimate..
@@KashishKaushal I would speculate that a genuine weakness, or area of reduced competence, requires a lot more energy/effort to merely elevate it to an average competence level. It is unlikely you’ll develop a weakness into a strength, so a weakness at best can be raised with A LOT of disproportionate effort effort to a mere average ability. The inverse is likely true that it doesn’t take as much effort/energy to develope an inherent strength to make it stronger. Don’t get me wrong it can still take a fair amount of effort to turn a strength to a higher level, but the results will be significantly higher using the same amount of energy as trying to get a weakness to an average competence level.😎✌️
It's interesting that the second line has not been repeated while the first line seems to have a negative connotation without it. The thought is "you are aimless and not focused. you aren't specialized", and I think "Not all who wander are lost." -J.R.R. Tolkien
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 Like "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." The "blood is thicker than water" is actually a claim that relationships in a brotherhood are stronger/more important than familial bonds.
I just went to a stranger's house for a group get-together, and there was a 4 year old who was constantly going around explaining everything around us, in the house or yard. Definitely falls under pedagogical intelligence in him. It seems like as he gets knowledge he loves to show it to others.
I think that casual social/interpersonal education like that is the best way to educate the public. We need to encourage people to repeat what they hear from reputable sources. Even silly stuff like 2+2 is 4, and water in Spanish is agua. At least people would have things to talk about. These days it seems like everyone is either telling jokes or awkwardly silent.
This intelligence is a curse. I feel it really hurts my resoning for the existsnce of life. Because i am aware of that im a aware of that im aware of that im a aware, and it goes forever. And it makes me tick, becsuse there is no end in sight. I am lost in infinity. And my ego is begging to rechout of 0 and become 1. Because 0 is infinate, and infinity is roothless to my soul.
I am very happy to hear your talk. When I was a school counselor, my schools use multiple intelligences and now as a therapist engage my clients in the multiple intelligences, as well. It’s wonderful. Thank you so very much for teaching us about the multiple intelligences.
Gardeners theory of multiple intelligences always appealed to me as well. While many psychologists would prefer to use the general intelligence (G), I think that gardeners model explains intelligence in a much more elaborated way.
It's not wonderful that they keep pushing pseudocsiences like this to teaching. It's dreadful actually and you being a school counselor should know better.
I am 44 and just received my diagnosis of ASD with savant syndrome just two months ago. Back in school they never knew what to do with me. I was both in gifted and talented and special education. I struggled for years constantly shamed by educators for my short comings. They could see I was highly intelligent, but thought that I just didn't put enough work into learning, which just was not true. Should you come across someone who both excels and struggles it is worth looking at a high functioning ASD diagnosis.
I have learning disabilities; I could play chess since I was in Kindergarten and by third grade, I was beating the adults in my life. However, I'm 39 years old and I still struggle with left and right. In fact, I have a tattoo on each arm and if I'm told to turn right or left, I have to think on which tattoo is on my right or left side respectively.
The whole learning disability thing, don’t get me started! My son supposedly had them. Turns out he needed more time to take tests, less distractions from kids but enjoyed music during tests. Drs said he will never be able to use blueprints or patterns. I never told him. After HS he went on to be a carpenter’s journeyman and then onto NYC 2 years later where he showed twice at NY Fashion week. Both blueprints AND patterns.. .GO FIGURE!
Dyscalculia. I’m 39 and still occasionally have to look at the L shape of my thumb and index fingers. Maps make no sense to me, neither do North, South, East and west. I take mental pictures of my surroundings as I drive. My sense of direction is a flip book of vivid images. Don’t get me started on algebra. My brain will not retain the info longer than a couple of days. We humans are such strange, oddly wired, but beautiful creatures.
What about creative intelligence? The ability to come up with ideas and solutions that didn't exist before and can't be derived by information and logic alone? This seems like a really important one to overlook.
@@911Salvage Well, the sewing machine was invented based in inspiration from a dream, for one. Of course Elias Howe used logic to develop the inspiration, I would never deny that, same as Archimedes later figured out the math to support the inspiration which struck him in the bath on how to measure volume on an irregular object. I don't deny that they go hand in hand, but logic and information alone can only process what they already have. They need that added element of creative inspiration. Creativity is the ability to mentally make the leap that one thing is like another normally not associated with it, and come up with a solution based on that. Elias Howe actually dreamed of being attacked by people rhythmically poking spears at him with a hole in the tip of each spearhead--he didn't literally dream of how a sewing-machine needle needed to differ from a hand-sewing needle, but he drew inspiration from an image that most would have dismissed as unrelated. In the same way Archimedes made a connection between his body sinking into the water and measuring gold by the volume of water displaced.
@@DoloresJNurss So basically one can't come up with new solutions and ideas without deriving from prior knowledge with logic. Thus, there's no need to add yet another one of non-sensical type of intelligence.
@@911Salvage Somehow you managed to get that backwards. Prior knowledge and logic can only make variations on what has already been discovered. You need the added spark of creative inspiration to expand into new territory. I'm not saying that creative intelligence is in competition with logic and knowledge, but it brings the discoveries possible through logic and knowledge to a whole new level. Think of knowledge and logic as bullets without primers. Yes, you can hit the target by throwing them in a sling, but until you put primers on them and put them in a gun, you can't shoot them very far. The primer is creative inspiration. Does that help?
“Should you play to strength, or should you bolster weakness?”…”Supplement or accentuate?” such a profound question when you think about it. I feel like your habits, experiences, and opportunities play a big role in shaping how you approach this as you enter adulthood. As much as, if not more so, than whatever your inherent interests are (which to an extent, are already shaped by experiences but it’s kind of nature vs nurture). For example I have a lot of free time to spend educating myself on whatever I’m in the mood for, but not a lot of people are so fortunate. So as much as it is a “value” question, it’s also up to chance whether or not it’s even a choice to begin with. That being said, in terms of parents raising children, I think if you indulge the natural curiosity in the post toddler through kindergarten years and foster that, you increase the chances of it becoming a fixture of their personality. Curiosity as a character trait is surprisingly rare in adults, at least in my experience. Most people avoid learning unless they have to and find it tedious. What I’ve noticed among my parent friends is that when they explain things to their kids there is rarely any enthusiasm and patience runs thin and the questions get shit down. I understand that it’s very taxing after a while with how incessant and sometimes obnoxious the questions can be, but I think that that annoyance and lack of enthusiasm imprints on kids in relation to curiosity. But, maybe I’m drawing too much on personal experiences here and not so much actual science so take it with a grain of salt I guess. Anyways, see what I mean about how profound the question is? Really thought provoking
lol (You can't actually be both, autistic people have emotions but they're disconnected from their natural social behavior, sociopaths just have basically no emotions whatsoever, a sociopathic autist would just be a sociopath)
20 years ago, his book on emotional intelligence has been a real eye opener in how I used to see people around me. We all have a tremendous potential, the difference is how and where it develops.
You should stop reading this bs. This is pseudoscience. Emotional intelligence doesn't exist just like any other of the intelligences don't exist either.
A wise man learns from the experiences of others. A average man learns from his own experiences. A fool has all the answers and never learns. Mark Twain
So Gardner is an average man, as he just came up with a theory which was not widely tested? And people who just hears "Theory of multiple intelligences" believes it is scientific as the Theory of gravity. I guess the latter people are wise as they learned from Gardner?
Harambe's Soul I can sort of agree with this. If memes can be expressed as genes, in that it is sharing information between organisms, then having a heightened sense of what it takes to craft the dankest of memes would probably fall into the language category rather than be one of its own.

I always thought of the intelligent quotient as a way to see how quickly someone could grasp new concepts and ideas, and how well someone can come up with solutions to problems. everything els was just a skill you put your time and knowledge into in order to become better at said skill.
Who is more intelligent of these two types of people? Person 1: A person who understands a concept taught to them extremely quickly and can accurately use said concept efficiently and effectively. Person 2) A person that takes longer to grasp the initial concept, but when they do they have seen a deeper element, have added more insight, and perhaps even created an entirely new superior concept. For me person two may take longer to portray understanding of the initial concept due to their deeper insight, raising many unanswered questions that were overlooked by the creator of the initial concept. In my example I think both people demonstate two different kinds of intelligence. Depending on what you value, some people would argue person 1 is the most intelligent and others would argue that person 2 is more intelligent.
@@lilliansmith8444 what're you basing that statement on? Ever heard of slow learners? There're a lot of reasons why someone might not grasp a concept as quickly as another: teaching methods, environmental dependencies, etc. For example, it would be more difficult for a blind and deaf person to grasp a concept via regular teaching methods. This doesn't make them less intelligent than others who aren't blind and deaf. It just makes it more difficult to learn initially given the standard methods and processes of teaching. If you imagine how complex and different humans are beyond the surface, you can see how this could play out amongst people who might appear at first glance to have similar learning capabilities.
I think it is relevant to talk about different intelligence, and make schools accordingly. So many children suffer because they are not recognised for their diverse talents. There is another system talking about these different types of intelligence: intellectual, creative, physical, emotional and more… which I don’t remember… But yes VERY interesting subject ! 😀👍🏼
Yes they keep turning precious stones into bricks in their wall and all too often they break. And the school system is about remembering information not thinking. It's like wow critical thinking class that needle of logic in the hay bale of conformity.

So when exactly should these kids be pulled into these specialty schools? Should they be assigned it at birth, or before middle school, maybe highschool? Or maybe that's already how it works.....you learn basic intelligence before highschool.... and when you show the basic problem solving skills and basic linguistics skills you then pick your electives that your interested in. Then after highschool you either pick a trade school specific to your interests or you go to college and still further your interests. When exactly should we take these kids your talking about out of school and place them into interest specific schools.
My soil science professor (or Pedologist, but people always think wrong) that 20 years ago was around 120 years old, looked during his classes to the radiators on the side of the auditorium. And every second word was "Aaaahhhhm". Horror.
My professor used to say: "every mathematician is a poet." And I tried that, wrote a poem, my first experience, and won a competition. I understood that poems are pure mathematics.
No, they aren't. Poems involve mathematics only in that they are closer to music than any other kind of wtiting in that some poems have meter. Most modern poetry doesn't; it is free verse. Of course, speech has a natural rhythm or meter. Moreover, I found it interesting that the standard base meter of most poems (iambic pentameter) is the reverse of the base meter of a piece of music. The stresses are reversed for music. So speech involves meter, but it involves language and meaning, so it can never be pure mathematics.
@@Jan96106 I'm going to say this at the risk of getting an ironic whoosh response...

Omar Ghani yeah, there are writers that rely on it more heavily. you get those kind of "so, what do you do?" type of stand-ups, or long-form writers that rely on relationship building before a certain joke can work, etc. raw/short joke writing usually leans more away from the interpersonal side, and in the case of twitter or current events joke-writing, it can be downright anti-social.
***** i mean, i'm a liguist comic, but i'd definitely say that the "joke" is logic, and language is something only the presentation of the problem. you mentioned carlin: most of his language jokes are logic jokes with words as the ingredients. getting ON the plane, etc. he sometimes used speed/rhythm/prose towards the end, but even in his ranting old guy days, he was still using logic to present the parts that were the "jokes." i adore the idea of "silly," but that's more performance, etc. the "joke" is always a logic puzzle, and the comic is an aesthetic artist with his own decisions he gets to make about how he can present them, or what he wants to use to create the puzzle.
statistical intelligence: the ability to reduce all the intelligences to a highly correlated common factor known as IQ dunning kreuger intelligence: the ability to understand why some people might not want to do that intersectional intelligence: the ability to realize that when intellectuals make up the meanings of words, they can make the meanings whatever they want structural intelligence: the idea that jet fuel can't melt steel beams
That goes with logic and spatial intelligence since you are observing and breaking down what to do and using what limited space you have to make an upset win
"Judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree and it'll live its whole life thinking it is stupid." 'Intelligence' is much too contingent on environment to fit it into any one particular box.
There are multiple intelligences, but these sound like domains of insight, and they could be multiplied indefinitely. Insight is 'information.' Intelligence is the ability to acquire information. They're different.
There aren't multiple intelligences. There is one that is divided into two: fluid and cristalized. The multiple intelligences hypothesis has been proven wrong countless times.
I don't know, many of these "intelligences" can be improved by learning and/or practice. That makes it less an intelligence but rather skill or knowledge.
+Vanalos so you are born with a set speed of intelligence? It doesn't change? I think skills are specific, while intelligence applies to all of the field. This is where having "social intelligence" works for all people, and not just the people you "trained" with.

Well you missed one, there was 10 total, but he said at the beginning 8 that he thinks he can prove, and then 2 he is considering, one of which those 2 is existential.
I put up for consideration: 1- Adaptive intel. The ability to flex. 2- Associative intel. The ability to solve by connecting unrelated info. 3- Creative intel. Without having existing data, and conceiving a result that is unique. True invention.
Amazing! Most of us learned about the 7 intelligences in school(they usually leave out existential) but hearing it from the theorizer himself is a game changer!
Non of them exist. There is only one intelligence than can be devided into two: fluid and cristalized. The multiple intelligence hypothesis has been proven false countless times. It's pseudoscience.

I would say mechanical intelligence should be its own thing. Something about being able to understand the workings of a machine (like a mechanic), being able to build from an assortment of parts (like a carpenter), or being able to construct through destruction (like a sculptor) feels different from the others listed.
@@samanthab6642 No. It has to do with visualization not bodily feeling, which by the way is the only one of our senses that feels . There is no such thing as mental feeling or visual feeling. Emotions, as well, are physical response to our other senses. Yer welcome.
I go along with the idea that calling someone 'intelligent' is just too broad and needs to be qualified. Not all people exhibit the same set of intellectual skills. An attempt to categorize them into a list may be a bit too presumptive. For example, take the set of skills required to play a sport like soccer or football. You would need spatial intelligence to understand the various positions and layout of the field, interpersonal intelligence so that you can read and anticipate other players' actions, mathematical and logical skills for developing offensive plays and field positions and which play to make for the optimal amount of points to stay ahead, and so it goes. Musical skill fuses math with art. Which intelligence predominates here? But there are likely other skill sets, some seemingly contradictory, like relying on intuition versus logic and planning that can at the same time be successful within the same situation. Overall, human intelligence in its many forms is probably too amorphous to probably divide by subcategory. There is just too much overlap. But I would agree that overall intelligence isn't just one thing.
Gary Horsman you don't need math to be a musician all you need is the feel and rhythm of it. numbers are only used to map out whatever your going to play but it's just math at its most simple level. music requires a good ear not math
just want to say: the "complicated" math was already done a couple of hundred years ago, the math is built into the instruments. The 12th root of 2 is what makes todays music possible. Music and math are as simple or as complex as you want to make them.
sebastian horta True. You don't need math to be a musician. However, if you want to grow as a musician, knowing the theory will help you increase your skills and knowledge by leaps and bounds as opposed to kind of feeling your way around, hoping to discover something new by pure accident. The musical prodigy is an incredibly rare occurrence. 99 percent of musicians get greater proficiency through careful study of mathematical theory. My piano teacher showed me how to play a C chord. My high school teacher showed me chords on the ukulele. But it wasn't till years later that a TV show on PBS described a chord as the first, third and fifth notes (1+3+5) in the major scale that I was able to play every chord in every key all on my own. That mathematical knowledge sent me on a journey of discovery that increased my playing skills a hundredfold. But I wouldn't have known that without the math.
Music is language. There is a link between verbal communication and the way we make music, and how music follows cultures and evolves, fuses, and continues to express.

I believe that one of the most beautiful things about humans is our ability to work together has allowed for greater variation amongst individuals. Almost any problem we have just the right people or person for. Everyone should appreciate their uniqueness, as it allows for others to have their own as well, and this allows us to achieve so much more than if we were all the same.
I'd expand musical intelligence to artistic/creative intelligence. A film director, painter, photographer etc would have the same kind of "eye" for something as a musician so I'd argue that definition of intelligence should cover that broader spectrum
yeah 100%. I feel like he completely forgot to look at the entire visual landscape that shapes his and our life everyday. This obviously extends to the digital landscape - how creatives connect the their audience, how the audience navigates through an intuitive interface. I think the fact that creatives have made our lives sooooo seamless and easy to navigate through, we often forget what when into that process (like a train map for instance.) Kinda weird to me that they shoved that into the category of sports and body movement when it has absolutely nothing to do with a physical body. I would have a creative intelligence category that lists subcategories like music, food, art, design, photography, creative writing ect. Each of these play their own unique and important part to connect to our emotions and make a world worth living in as well as documenting the good, the bad and the ugly. Peace.
Sigurd Fylling Kaarstad for some maybe. I think in many ways I disagree. Values come from culture and beliefs and they don't need science to exist kr be good. Not saying they can't. Science doesn't tell you to love everyone or fight for the oppressed. It tells you to love your kind or whose who benefit you...which would be a sad life.
Its also a question either to fit in this world or not..This world we are living wants us to be logical- mathematical thinkers in order to be ready to work in their corporations..If you focus on other intelligences you are probably not going to succeed..thats what This world tells me.
I think teaching intelligence could be incorporated into interpersonal intelligence and existential intelligence could be included in intrapersonal intelligence.
how you organize your brain and see yourself changes who you are and what you focus on. What you focus on and spend time and energy on becomes what you are good at.
Obviously untrue unless you classify most of the human race as permananently "in big trouble" which would make the phrase semantically equivalent to "normal".

The third one, musical intelligence, is the one that's always fascinated me the most. Not the ability to produce music, but the ability to enjoy it. Why is it that certain notes, tones, patterns of music, can cause such uplifting joy and happiness in all humans worldwide, regardless of the language they speak, where other notes and patterns can cause sadness and depression? You can play a poppy Katy Parry song for people who have never heard music and they'll find it light and fun, and you can play some dark, depressing Brahams for anyone and they'll find it sad and moving. Why did we evolve to have that capacity where music affects is so much? Why do our brains have that function? And why does some music start off catchy but gets really boring after the tenth time hearing it while you can hear other songs for years and still not get tired of them? Never seen any research into all this and would really love to.
I'm a musician. Studied music at university. I could go on for hours on this subject. In short, you'll find that people in fact do not have the same emotional responses to the same music, even within a single culture. There's often broad agreement but it is far from guaranteed. And music from another (significantly different) culture can be downright baffling. It comes down to a mix of enculturation and idiosyncratic associations. In both cases these are learned, one via passive exposure to your own culture and one from your unique life experiences.
Why does catchy music get boring while other music doesn't? Because catchy music is vapid. There's usually very little substance to sustain your interest. Once you get tired of the hook and listen for something else, there's nothing to find. More complex but less catchy music can sustain interest longer because there is always something new to hear and discover.
@@nuynobi Dave Brubeck, the jazz legend, has an interesting take on this. While touring in Europe and Asia during the late 50s, he realized that not all audiences seemed to appreciate the melodies within his playing the same, however, when it came to the rhythm, there seemed to be universal appreciation; Joe Morello's drum solos always seemed to capture the attention and applauses of the crowd. He reasoned that it had to do with human's natural feel for "time" (in the musical sense). He put it best through this iconic quote: "One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It’s the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It’s the first thing you hear when you’re born - or before you’re born - and it’s the last thing you hear".
@@raulovalle Indeed. Reminds me of an anecdote from the forward to my orchestration textbook. A musician from Asia (can't remember where specifically) travelled to Europe and attended a symphony. His favourite part was when the orchestra was tuning up, before the 'actual music' had even started.
How is this a theory? Hasn't he only categorised intelligence into 8 parts? He doesn't go into any explanation of why these are categories of intelligence and not of something else. It even seems, at first sight, that certain thoughts would be a result of multiple intelligences. And where does that leave a clear explanation? It all seems a bit flim flam, not to mention the unknown definition of intelligence he's using.
Samuel Woods You can read about Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Which is the theory we are referencing...I haven't actually studied it in over 11 years so my attempt to explain would probably not do it justice...
This is the most important video I have watched in a while. Not only do I see more value in more people but I better understand myself and my circumstances.
I have always subscribed to the wisdom of Howard Gardner however I differ in one respect. I believe that 5 year olds do pay attention to their answers for why...I just think that because we don't traditionaly respect and appreciate their level of inquiry they come to believe that dogma is what is valued. So sad especially when we are in a time when asking why may be the most important thing we can do.
Now the key question word is not why. The devil is clearly in the marketplace. The key question word is what. What are we going to do about the current madness? Talking is over...
Well you see, if you come up with a theory, and it makes a lot of people feel good and special, you can sell books and get invited to speak to paying crowds. Then you really don´t need research or even scientists agreeing with you.
It seems as though you could apply the word "intelligence" to just about anything if you follow this model. Perceptive intelligence, audio-receptive intelligence, tea tasting intelligence... My point being, the designation seems arbitrary.
I think he would say to you that those things are senses, not intelligences which is an (very basically) what you do with the information your senses give you. for instance you wouldnt say a def person is adutorially retarded because that implies some sort of conscious thought, but rather that they have a problem with their senses. also perception would fall into a mixture of spatial and logical I would say (many of the more specific intelligences can be made by combing two of more of these 8)
Marty2012 It just FEELS good to belong. It's great to be inclusive!

Yes; this theory has no basis in phycological study. People who have researched these kinds of abilities in terms of the brain usually can explain them in terms of personality, which guides preferences; and the intelligence quotient. For IQ as it is modernly tested, we find that there is no exact reliable way of increasing it, although it does increase for people. What this guy is doing is grouping the huge variety of abilities that people have in today's world in way that generally makes sense, even though the groups are arbitrary in relation to real science. They aren't really intelligences (there is one and we've already found it), but just skills that people learn over time given their interests and their limits. The entire idea is inductive reasoning.
@@irrelevantideology9640 I think OP is saying there's a difference between intelligence and developed skill.

As you went down the list I started to think of the intelligence more as a skill rather than intelligence. How do you differentiate between skills and intelligence, or do you?
I 'm glad you mentioned this. I will also be writing a paper about this subject and I find that there are trully strong reasons for such an intelligence actually being a distinct one: it's tha abillity to know where and when something fits perfectly according to context and be able to enjoy many more alternative ways of doing art but also being able to find aesthetic appreciation everywhere. But I believe not only great artists of any kind have such abillity ,but also great mathe maticians and scientists (mainly natural scientists).
Fotis X Do you actually believe your own bullshit? Labeling ever more specific skills, personality traits or even just attitudes "intelligence" has no scientific value and serves only to stroke your ego.

I was just telling my therapist today, that I, as an autistic student, had so many issues learning in the basic school program that I had access to, and I find it frustrating that, I was never able to know what my career path should be, because no one focused on the girl who didn’t fit the traditional educational systems. I did take an iq test once and it came out at 131 points, but I remember I actually struggled a lot, and i thought, well maybe this was a just by mistake… Because, I feel I’m really good at emotional skills, which is weird for an autistic person, but, I think that’s where my intelligence is based, and also I am quite creative, but I never got the chance to express all that part of me, and I still haven’t got any opportunity, so how will I ever know.
Your problem I think is not a matter of the arbitrary nature, but whether or not what he says is complete and covers all intelligent people. Embracing certain elements of a person can be construed as intelligence in any way and so yeah arbitrary, but I would say embracing isnt all entirely about some over happy optimistic statement on some arbitrary warm feelings of someone, but is really about seeing how such elements actually benefit the universe.
This video is comforting for those of us without impressive IQs (most people). It would be almost impossible to find somebody who doesn't excel in at least one of the intelligences mentioned in this video.
Multiple intelligences is pseudoscience. Being great at something is a combination of intelligence and practice. The nore hours of quality practice the best developed the skill.
I'm definitely the most jack-of-all-trades in these of anyone I personally know. I've often wished I could live longer just to master every aspect of human existence. I know this sounds a bit pompous, but it's absolutely true. Unfortunately, there's no place in this world for a generalist and I haven't been financially successful so no one takes me seriously.
I am a jack of all trades too. The problem with this "skill" is that people think you are good at nothing when you tell them you can do or learn anything. They are plain wrong. I am in fact very good at at least 3 things and decent at everything else but society has warped the minds of business ppl to think that there are no ppl like us that can understand and do anything in a shorter amount of time than others and so most ppl prefer to avoid us. It's a BS way of thinking for sure and i think this mentality should change.
ant Man are you saying you don't believe a true jack-of-all-trades exists? Let me make a statistical argument: suppose these 8 attributes are normally distributed, like almost every attribute of humans. Define a master to be two standard deviations above the norm. One standard deviation is still better than 84% of the population, but not a master, so lets use that as a criterion. Assuming a world population of 7.4 billion people, there are 2,970 people in this world who are jack-of-all-trades and really good at it. I only claimed that I was the most jack of all trade that I know personally. But let us say that I claim to be better than average in all 8 categories. There are over 28 million people in the world who fit this description. There is a very slight error in my calculation if anyone can catch it ;)
my name is andy and i can do anything, this is so backed up by the fact that im writing this on a youtube video. you are not super man antman damn. get good at something not everything
GoldenAfroZZ This is very specific to this particular video. I've never claimed that I'm a jack-of-all-trades in any other place except this video.

I wonder if intraintelligence, one's awareness of themselves, includes the individuals' moving around between intelligences. I know when I was in high school I was very capable in Chemistry, and often scored higher in science than in any other subject. But then I went on to college to get a degree in English, which was a subject I had tested with low scores in high school. I also graduated with a degree in Philosophy; thus, I have moved from a more scientific mind to a more linguistic mind. Not to mention, with life happening between all of this, ageing, people dying, people coming into my life, I became more self aware, and more mindful of how my interactions with others may influence their interactions with others through out the day, which means I also became more aware of my interpersonal awareness. Would the combination of all these intelligences just be called living, or does this become merely a combination of intelligences in concert with each other? What do we call this concert then? Does the combining of multiple intelligences become a different kind of intelligence? I find myself wary of these divisions of intelligence, much as I am wary of the way we divide the way we educate the masses. We might find that things blend into each other to the point where we cannot actually distinguish where one ends and the other begins.
Karma Kecleon I believe that there are 4 main types of intelligence. 1) Verbal 2) Visual spatial 3) Working memory 4) Speed of absorbing new information. This is how we measure intelligence on the IQ scale.. Everything he talks about are just subcategories of these 4 main types of intelligence. So you may be strong in certain main types of intelligence, and they could be expressed differently over time. So they don't change as a whole, but the way you express them can change.
Thomas Klamirian logical?? Art is logical? Colors, image manipulation, graphic designing... Not logical. Art is NOT logical, and is part of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, which is the standard for IQ tests nowadays. It is under the subtest of "Perceptual reasoning/visual spatial intelligence". I personally score in the 98th percentile in this subtest, and no one has EVER called me smart in a "logical" manner. Yea sure, logic is part of intelligence, but there are many many studies that show that visual/spatial perceptual reasoning is actually much more important in regards to math and science than you would think.
@@Anika9691 a neuromyth of education is basically a misunderstanding or the misapplication of "brain science" in educational - a popular example is the false belief that there are different learning styles, or that people only use 10% of their brains.
After reading Moonwalking with Einstein, I believe Memory is the most important "intelligence", which involves an aspect of creativity. Remembering names and faces, anniversary/birthday dates Consolidating kinesthetic movements in sleep Learning characters and symbols Pawn to D4, Map of South African Coastline It could be a curse, but you could literally memorise psychological courses, making it easier to spontaneously retrieve to fight against PTSD The most beautiful thing is that books like Moonwalking with Einstein and memory training apps/videos show you simple techniques to improve with practice.
Memory is important yes. When you suddenly remember something that is inherently usefum for the situation, it feels good and it feels like you mind is all the more clear for it. Now what however determines whether or not you are able to retrieve the perfect memory in any given situation? I suppose that is what you were talking about right? Because I am dead certain there are no coincidences as to why you suddenly remember something important and other times your mind is completely blank.
I don't think the human brain can be divided into these 'intelligences'. The brain is far too complex and maliabal. Ever heard of neuro plasticity? The brain changes on a regular basis to solve new problems every day. New neuronic pathways are created everyone you learn something new. So really, these intelligences really can't be separated. They all fall under the same category of intelligence as a whole.
+I am Superman The human brain absolutely can be divided into intelligences. It's actually shocking how much like a machine it is, a very complex one, but still. You can see really clear evidence of this in victims of brain damage, absolute proof that certain parts of the brain are responsible for specific "types" of tasks can be seen in these people, or in healthy people who you monitor with advanced equipment. For example you can have your linguistic intelligence broken and suddenly become really bad at forming sentences, or completely lose your ability to associate objects with words, even if you can say the word and define it easily outside of the task of associating it with the object in front of you. If the human brain was really just one bundle of singular intelligence with such grand malleability and plasticity, then we wouldn't see such specific loss of function, we'd just see an overall drop in intelligence after brain damage is sustained.
Give these a thought people: •Military (crucially necessary within a group, or society) •Creativity / Artistic •Practicality (very under rated!) •Empath, or intra-personal intuition --- ability to read people •Memorization (rote, or otherwise)
There are many more and their applications can be far more broad and intertwined than this man had time or is capable of covering. It's trully fascinating. And as computers become more intelligent we are going to ha e to think very seriously about them. Same goes for when we begin to enhance our self's.
I've always had a question that stuck to me ever since I was 12 and that question was "if you were never born into what ever environment you were born in, would your conscious/the way you think still be the same if born into a different environment?"
That's the whole nature/nurture debate. I'm sure you would still have some of the same characteristics but it think we would fundamentally be different. For example it's easy for me a white American now to say if I was born in the 1700s I wouldn't be racist. Truthly though I can't know for sure it I was raised in an environment where since he beginning of my development I was taught to hate there's a much better likelihood I would become racist than me being raised recently with parents making sure I never pre judged any race or religion or sex etc. I grew up pretty privileged not even realizing that stuff existed till from what I remember was around the third grade.
I believe this should be rephrased as 8 TYPES of intelligence...or more accurately 8 EXPRESSIONS of intelligence. People are generally intelligent. The more pronounced ones are those that are expressed in a certain aspect more than others.
Amy Lorenzo its probably due to the regimental implications that have been applied to your liking. for example, if you like music and you're put into a class of music but without the right teacher or poor environment, you may loose the love for the art. or maybe even making the love for music so regimental by making you memorize a heap load of things that are probably irrelevant. these are just my thought, think it through if you like it ;)
I would also like to add decisive intelligence. This is the ability to think quickly and decisively. Think like a quarterback going through his reads or a soldier clearing a room or a fireman assessing the situation in a fire. Certain people can think more quickly than the traditional academic. A mathematician for example has time to reason about their answer whereas a quarterback has maybe a few seconds to arrive at theirs.
I guess I would have to look further into the theory but I've been noticing bodily intelligence and think more research has to be done on it. If you look at people like Michael Jackson, he had the same level of mind to body coordination/dexterity as most of us have hand to mind coordination (if we're lucky), you'll know something unique is going on. Michael Jordan as well and his ability to make multiple complex body manuevers in a single jump to simulate flight or out maneuver a defensive crowd. Gymnasts, boxers, yogis, martial artists, dancers, actors all show this.
ReichspepesKonzentrationsLager they worked really hard to expand the neural connections between their brain and their bodies... which is increased brain activity... which is more intelligent.
***** People train to be brilliant as well. If you don't think Einstein put time and effort into his craft, expanding his capacity to understand and reason, and training himself to actualize his ideas then you may only have half of the story. Intelligence isn't static in any form and can be lost with time if not used and. Painters authors and mathematicians will all tell you the same thing.
The concept behind intelegence or the original IQ is that it can't be altered and can be tested continually with consistent results (there might be a bias towards mathematics since that is the way we quantify and measure stuff). If you can't alter it there is no use on trying to better it even further, just like the color of your eyes won't change naturally no matter what you do. All the intelegences presented overlap on the same aspect, abstract thinking, openness and ability to make use of it

@@KashishKaushal I would speculate that a genuine weakness, or area of reduced competence, requires a lot more energy/effort to merely elevate it to an average competence level. It is unlikely you’ll develop a weakness into a strength, so a weakness at best can be raised with A LOT of disproportionate effort effort to a mere average ability. The inverse is likely true that it doesn’t take as much effort/energy to develope an inherent strength to make it stronger. Don’t get me wrong it can still take a fair amount of effort to turn a strength to a higher level, but the results will be significantly higher using the same amount of energy as trying to get a weakness to an average competence level.😎✌️

I am 44 and just received my diagnosis of ASD with savant syndrome just two months ago. Back in school they never knew what to do with me. I was both in gifted and talented and special education. I struggled for years constantly shamed by educators for my short comings.

Should you come across someone who both excels and struggles it is worth looking at a high functioning ASD diagnosis.
I have learning disabilities; I could play chess since I was in Kindergarten and by third grade, I was beating the adults in my life. However, I'm 39 years old and I still struggle with left and right.

Dude.
What about creative intelligence? The ability to come up with ideas and solutions that didn't exist before and can't be derived by information and logic alone? This seems like a really important one to overlook.
Can you give us some examples of documented ideas and solutions that have existed and were not derived by information and logic alone?
I agree!
@@911Salvage Well, the sewing machine was invented based in inspiration from a dream, for one. Of course Elias Howe used logic to develop the inspiration, I would never deny that, same as Archimedes later figured out the math to support the inspiration which struck him in the bath on how to measure volume on an irregular object. I don't deny that they go hand in hand, but logic and information alone can only process what they already have. They need that added element of creative inspiration.
Creativity is the ability to mentally make the leap that one thing is like another normally not associated with it, and come up with a solution based on that. Elias Howe actually dreamed of being attacked by people rhythmically poking spears at him with a hole in the tip of each spearhead--he didn't literally dream of how a sewing-machine needle needed to differ from a hand-sewing needle, but he drew inspiration from an image that most would have dismissed as unrelated. In the same way Archimedes made a connection between his body sinking into the water and measuring gold by the volume of water displaced.
@@DoloresJNurss So basically one can't come up with new solutions and ideas without deriving from prior knowledge with logic. Thus, there's no need to add yet another one of non-sensical type of intelligence.
@@911Salvage Somehow you managed to get that backwards. Prior knowledge and logic can only make variations on what has already been discovered. You need the added spark of creative inspiration to expand into new territory. I'm not saying that creative intelligence is in competition with logic and knowledge, but it brings the discoveries possible through logic and knowledge to a whole new level.
Think of knowledge and logic as bullets without primers. Yes, you can hit the target by throwing them in a sling, but until you put primers on them and put them in a gun, you can't shoot them very far. The primer is creative inspiration. Does that help?
“Should you play to strength, or should you bolster weakness?”…”Supplement or accentuate?” such a profound question when you think about it. I feel like your habits, experiences, and opportunities play a big role in shaping how you approach this as you enter adulthood. As much as, if not more so, than whatever your inherent interests are (which to an extent, are already shaped by experiences but it’s kind of nature vs nurture). For example I have a lot of free time to spend educating myself on whatever I’m in the mood for, but not a lot of people are so fortunate. So as much as it is a “value” question, it’s also up to chance whether or not it’s even a choice to begin with. That being said, in terms of parents raising children, I think if you indulge the natural curiosity in the post toddler through kindergarten years and foster that, you increase the chances of it becoming a fixture of their personality. Curiosity as a character trait is surprisingly rare in adults, at least in my experience. Most people avoid learning unless they have to and find it tedious. What I’ve noticed among my parent friends is that when they explain things to their kids there is rarely any enthusiasm and patience runs thin and the questions get shit down. I understand that it’s very taxing after a while with how incessant and sometimes obnoxious the questions can be, but I think that that annoyance and lack of enthusiasm imprints on kids in relation to curiosity. But, maybe I’m drawing too much on personal experiences here and not so much actual science so take it with a grain of salt I guess. Anyways, see what I mean about how profound the question is? Really thought provoking

Who is more intelligent of these two types of people?
Person 1: A person who understands a concept taught to them extremely quickly and can accurately use said concept efficiently and effectively.
Person 2) A person that takes longer to grasp the initial concept, but when they do they have seen a deeper element, have added more insight, and perhaps even created an entirely new superior concept.
For me person two may take longer to portray understanding of the initial concept due to their deeper insight, raising many unanswered questions that were overlooked by the creator of the initial concept.
In my example I think both people demonstate two different kinds of intelligence.
Depending on what you value, some people would argue person 1 is the most intelligent and others would argue that person 2 is more intelligent.
@@rhodrimorice7746 That is not likely to happen if he took so long to grasp the first one.
@@lilliansmith8444 what're you basing that statement on? Ever heard of slow learners? There're a lot of reasons why someone might not grasp a concept as quickly as another: teaching methods, environmental dependencies, etc. For example, it would be more difficult for a blind and deaf person to grasp a concept via regular teaching methods. This doesn't make them less intelligent than others who aren't blind and deaf. It just makes it more difficult to learn initially given the standard methods and processes of teaching. If you imagine how complex and different humans are beyond the surface, you can see how this could play out amongst people who might appear at first glance to have similar learning capabilities.

I am interested in learning maths maybe, because I think I need some of their symbols as punctuation, perhaps, for a poem.
No, they aren't. Poems involve mathematics only in that they are closer to music than any other kind of wtiting in that some poems have meter. Most modern poetry doesn't; it is free verse. Of course, speech has a natural rhythm or meter. Moreover, I found it interesting that the standard base meter of most poems (iambic pentameter) is the reverse of the base meter of a piece of music.

Thanks a bunch
These are *categories* of intelligence, *types* of intelligence. They are independent and distinct *top-level* categories. The "intelligence of a rock" is disingenuous.
humor is definitely rooted in logic. especially creative output in humor. joke writing is just logic puzzles with word games thrown in for fun.
Also it overlaps with interpersonal intelligence
+Omar Ghani lmao we share the same name and i freaked out when i saw because i thought i wrote what you did lmao
Omar Ghani yeah, there are writers that rely on it more heavily. you get those kind of "so, what do you do?" type of stand-ups, or long-form writers that rely on relationship building before a certain joke can work, etc. raw/short joke writing usually leans more away from the interpersonal side, and in the case of twitter or current events joke-writing, it can be downright anti-social.
***** oh, i wasn't quantifying better or worse, i was just agreeing and expanding.
***** i mean, i'm a liguist comic, but i'd definitely say that the "joke" is logic, and language is something only the presentation of the problem.
you mentioned carlin: most of his language jokes are logic jokes with words as the ingredients. getting ON the plane, etc. he sometimes used speed/rhythm/prose towards the end, but even in his ranting old guy days, he was still using logic to present the parts that were the "jokes."
i adore the idea of "silly," but that's more performance, etc. the "joke" is always a logic puzzle, and the comic is an aesthetic artist with his own decisions he gets to make about how he can present them, or what he wants to use to create the puzzle.

When you can change the definition of intelligence, any man can be a genius.
There isn't an agreement for what intelligence means across different fields of study and across different cultures.
"Judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree and it'll live its whole life thinking it is stupid." 'Intelligence' is much too contingent on environment to fit it into any one particular box.

Jack of All Trades master of none. Is pretty much an all rounder genius term. That means he has great learning
There are multiple intelligences, but these sound like domains of insight, and they could be multiplied indefinitely. Insight is 'information.' Intelligence is the ability to acquire information. They're different.

There aren't multiple intelligences. There is one that is divided into two: fluid and cristalized. The multiple intelligences hypothesis has been proven wrong countless times.
I don't know, many of these "intelligences" can be improved by learning and/or practice. That makes it less an intelligence but rather skill or knowledge.

Rursus - He mentions that the last two intelligences were "in the works" and not confirmed in his view.
Well you missed one, there was 10 total, but he said at the beginning 8 that he thinks he can prove, and then 2 he is considering, one of which those 2 is existential.
only the first 8 are acceptable, the other two need more research (proof)
After reviewing the 8 intelligences and 2 other possible intelligences, I've come to the conclusion that imma fucken idiot.
Connor McGaughey so get smarter dude you have time.
I put up for consideration:
1- Adaptive intel. The ability to flex.
2- Associative intel. The ability to solve by connecting unrelated info.
3- Creative intel. Without having existing data, and conceiving a result that is unique. True invention.
Amazing! Most of us learned about the 7 intelligences in school(they usually leave out existential) but hearing it from the theorizer himself is a game changer!
This is the first time I'm hearing it. If I ever learned about them, I completely forgot.
Non of them exist. There is only one intelligence than can be devided into two: fluid and cristalized. The multiple intelligence hypothesis has been proven false countless times. It's pseudoscience.
Knowledge isn’t intelligence, and wisdom isn’t equitable. Intelligent people have several of these qualities, never just one.

Once i heard that intelligence is not only knowing something but aply this knowledge to solve problems, sounds like a perfect discription.
I would say mechanical intelligence should be its own thing. Something about being able to understand the workings of a machine (like a mechanic), being able to build from an assortment of parts (like a carpenter), or being able to construct through destruction (like a sculptor) feels different from the others listed.
I think that is kinesthetic?
@@samanthab6642 No. It has to do with visualization not bodily feeling, which by the way is the only one of our senses that feels . There is no such thing as mental feeling or visual feeling. Emotions, as well, are physical response to our other senses. Yer welcome.
Visuospatial intelligence
I think these are a mixture of listed intelligences.
It's not that you have one and not the others. We all some all of these intelligences at varying degrees.
I go along with the idea that calling someone 'intelligent' is just too broad and needs to be qualified. Not all people exhibit the same set of intellectual skills. An attempt to categorize them into a list may be a bit too presumptive.
For example, take the set of skills required to play a sport like soccer or football. You would need spatial intelligence to understand the various positions and layout of the field, interpersonal intelligence so that you can read and anticipate other players' actions, mathematical and logical skills for developing offensive plays and field positions and which play to make for the optimal amount of points to stay ahead, and so it goes.
Musical skill fuses math with art. Which intelligence predominates here?
But there are likely other skill sets, some seemingly contradictory, like relying on intuition versus logic and planning that can at the same time be successful within the same situation.
Overall, human intelligence in its many forms is probably too amorphous to probably divide by subcategory. There is just too much overlap. But I would agree that overall intelligence isn't just one thing.
Gary Horsman Your making alot of sense😀
Gary Horsman you don't need math to be a musician all you need is the feel and rhythm of it. numbers are only used to map out whatever your going to play but it's just math at its most simple level. music requires a good ear not math
He was reading through the lines. I think that sounds more analytical than existential.
just want to say: the "complicated" math was already done a couple of hundred years ago, the math is built into the instruments. The 12th root of 2 is what makes todays music possible. Music and math are as simple or as complex as you want to make them.
sebastian horta True. You don't need math to be a musician. However, if you want to grow as a musician, knowing the theory will help you increase your skills and knowledge by leaps and bounds as opposed to kind of feeling your way around, hoping to discover something new by pure accident. The musical prodigy is an incredibly rare occurrence. 99 percent of musicians get greater proficiency through careful study of mathematical theory.
My piano teacher showed me how to play a C chord. My high school teacher showed me chords on the ukulele. But it wasn't till years later that a TV show on PBS described a chord as the first, third and fifth notes (1+3+5) in the major scale that I was able to play every chord in every key all on my own. That mathematical knowledge sent me on a journey of discovery that increased my playing skills a hundredfold. But I wouldn't have known that without the math.
Music is language. There is a link between verbal communication and the way we make music, and how music follows cultures and evolves, fuses, and continues to express.
I love how the states that developing any one type of intelligence is a matter of what you value.
I'm glad you found love.

I'd expand musical intelligence to artistic/creative intelligence. A film director, painter, photographer etc would have the same kind of "eye" for something as a musician so I'd argue that definition of intelligence should cover that broader spectrum
I think he would completely agree with you.
for some reason they shoved that in the same category as the sports and body movement intelligences
yeah 100%. I feel like he completely forgot to look at the entire visual landscape that shapes his and our life everyday. This obviously extends to the digital landscape - how creatives connect the their audience, how the audience navigates through an intuitive interface.
I think the fact that creatives have made our lives sooooo seamless and easy to navigate through, we often forget what when into that process (like a train map for instance.)
Kinda weird to me that they shoved that into the category of sports and body movement when it has absolutely nothing to do with a physical body.
I would have a creative intelligence category that lists subcategories like music, food, art, design, photography, creative writing ect. Each of these play their own unique and important part to connect to our emotions and make a world worth living in as well as documenting the good, the bad and the ugly.

“So how to spend your time? Should you invest in your strengths? Or bolster your weaknesses? Everyone must choose” How simple and yet profound
I loved that. It's a question of values, not science.
Felicia Follum
But values can be boiled down to science. And in many cases it should be! ;)
Sigurd Fylling Kaarstad for some maybe. I think in many ways I disagree. Values come from culture and beliefs and they don't need science to exist kr be good. Not saying they can't. Science doesn't tell you to love everyone or fight for the oppressed. It tells you to love your kind or whose who benefit you...which would be a sad life.
Its also a question either to fit in this world or not..This world we are living wants us to be logical- mathematical thinkers in order to be ready to work in their corporations..If you focus on other intelligences you are probably not going to succeed..thats what This world tells me.

I think teaching intelligence could be incorporated into interpersonal intelligence and existential intelligence could be included in intrapersonal intelligence.
how you organize your brain and see yourself changes who you are and what you focus on. What you focus on and spend time and energy on becomes what you are good at.
"If you don't have a good understanding of yourself, you are in big trouble."
I'M DOOMED.
Obviously untrue unless you classify most of the human race as permananently "in big trouble" which would make the phrase semantically equivalent to "normal".

They dunno why they are so triggered.. I guess u can still live normal life if u don't fully understand yourself... But to optimise life u need to understand urself better
I'm a little skeptical to these ideas because of the lack of distinction between skill, knowledge and intelligence.

The third one, musical intelligence, is the one that's always fascinated me the most. Not the ability to produce music, but the ability to enjoy it.
Why is it that certain notes, tones, patterns of music, can cause such uplifting joy and happiness in all humans worldwide, regardless of the language they speak, where other notes and patterns can cause sadness and depression? You can play a poppy Katy Parry song for people who have never heard music and they'll find it light and fun, and you can play some dark, depressing Brahams for anyone and they'll find it sad and moving.
Why did we evolve to have that capacity where music affects is so much? Why do our brains have that function? And why does some music start off catchy but gets really boring after the tenth time hearing it while you can hear other songs for years and still not get tired of them?
Never seen any research into all this and would really love to.
I'm a musician. Studied music at university. I could go on for hours on this subject. In short, you'll find that people in fact do not have the same emotional responses to the same music, even within a single culture. There's often broad agreement but it is far from guaranteed. And music from another (significantly different) culture can be downright baffling. It comes down to a mix of enculturation and idiosyncratic associations. In both cases these are learned, one via passive exposure to your own culture and one from your unique life experiences.
Why does catchy music get boring while other music doesn't? Because catchy music is vapid. There's usually very little substance to sustain your interest. Once you get tired of the hook and listen for something else, there's nothing to find. More complex but less catchy music can sustain interest longer because there is always something new to hear and discover.
@@nuynobi Dave Brubeck, the jazz legend, has an interesting take on this. While touring in Europe and Asia during the late 50s, he realized that not all audiences seemed to appreciate the melodies within his playing the same, however, when it came to the rhythm, there seemed to be universal appreciation; Joe Morello's drum solos always seemed to capture the attention and applauses of the crowd. He reasoned that it had to do with human's natural feel for "time" (in the musical sense). He put it best through this iconic quote: "One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It’s the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It’s the first thing you hear when you’re born - or before you’re born - and it’s the last thing you hear".
@@raulovalle Indeed. Reminds me of an anecdote from the forward to my orchestration textbook. A musician from Asia (can't remember where specifically) travelled to Europe and attended a symphony. His favourite part was when the orchestra was tuning up, before the 'actual music' had even started.
@@nuynobi that's because a lot of Folk Asian music sounds like people tuning up their instruments. No offense!
The 8 intelligence theory was one of my favorite in my AP psych class...Thanks for bringing this back for me!
How is this a theory? Hasn't he only categorised intelligence into 8 parts? He doesn't go into any explanation of why these are categories of intelligence and not of something else. It even seems, at first sight, that certain thoughts would be a result of multiple intelligences. And where does that leave a clear explanation? It all seems a bit flim flam, not to mention the unknown definition of intelligence he's using.
Samuel Woods You can read about Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Which is the theory we are referencing...I haven't actually studied it in over 11 years so my attempt to explain would probably not do it justice...
This is the most important video I have watched in a while. Not only do I see more value in more people but I better understand myself and my circumstances.
I have always subscribed to the wisdom of Howard Gardner however I differ in one respect. I believe that 5 year olds do pay attention to their answers for why...I just think that because we don't traditionaly respect and appreciate their level of inquiry they come to believe that dogma is what is valued. So sad especially when we are in a time when asking why may be the most important thing we can do.
Now the key question word is not why. The devil is clearly in the marketplace. The key question word is what. What are we going to do about the current madness? Talking is over...
The "teaching" one is about people's ability to understand how another person's mind works.
Lots of love and respect from India Sir
This is one of the most important things I’ve ever watched in my entire life
Lol why
Nice talk and would you link the quantitative research that led to those conclusions?
Well you see, if you come up with a theory, and it makes a lot of people feel good and special, you can sell books and get invited to speak to paying crowds. Then you really don´t need research or even scientists agreeing with you.
It seems as though you could apply the word "intelligence" to just about anything if you follow this model.
Perceptive intelligence, audio-receptive intelligence, tea tasting intelligence... My point being, the designation seems arbitrary.
I think he would say to you that those things are senses, not intelligences which is an (very basically) what you do with the information your senses give you. for instance you wouldnt say a def person is adutorially retarded because that implies some sort of conscious thought, but rather that they have a problem with their senses. also perception would fall into a mixture of spatial and logical I would say (many of the more specific intelligences can be made by combing two of more of these 8)
Marty2012 It just FEELS good to belong. It's great to be inclusive!

Some of these "intelligences" he's describing sound like developed skills.
Yes; this theory has no basis in phycological study. People who have researched these kinds of abilities in terms of the brain usually can explain them in terms of personality, which guides preferences; and the intelligence quotient. For IQ as it is modernly tested, we find that there is no exact reliable way of increasing it, although it does increase for people.
What this guy is doing is grouping the huge variety of abilities that people have in today's world in way that generally makes sense, even though the groups are arbitrary in relation to real science. They aren't really intelligences (there is one and we've already found it), but just skills that people learn over time given their interests and their limits. The entire idea is inductive reasoning.

As you went down the list I started to think of the intelligence more as a skill rather than intelligence. How do you differentiate between skills and intelligence, or do you?
I think aesthetic intelligence should be added...separate from spatial.
I 'm glad you mentioned this. I will also be writing a paper about this subject and I find that there are trully strong reasons for such an intelligence actually being a distinct one: it's tha abillity to know where and when something fits perfectly according to context and be able to enjoy many more alternative ways of doing art but also being able to find aesthetic appreciation everywhere. But I believe not only great artists of any kind have such abillity ,but also great mathe maticians and scientists (mainly natural scientists).

Your problem I think is not a matter of the arbitrary nature, but whether or not what he says is complete and covers all intelligent people. Embracing certain elements of a person can be construed as intelligence in any way and so yeah arbitrary, but I would say embracing isnt all entirely about some over happy optimistic statement on some arbitrary warm feelings of someone, but is really about seeing how such elements actually benefit the universe.
Intelligence number Zero:
Common sense intelligence - Finding which intelligence is needed and how to apply it in a particular situation.
This video is comforting for those of us without impressive IQs (most people). It would be almost impossible to find somebody who doesn't excel in at least one of the intelligences mentioned in this video.
Multiple intelligences is pseudoscience. Being great at something is a combination of intelligence and practice. The nore hours of quality practice the best developed the skill.
I'm definitely the most jack-of-all-trades in these of anyone I personally know. I've often wished I could live longer just to master every aspect of human existence. I know this sounds a bit pompous, but it's absolutely true.
Unfortunately, there's no place in this world for a generalist and I haven't been financially successful so no one takes me seriously.
I am a jack of all trades too. The problem with this "skill" is that people think you are good at nothing when you tell them you can do or learn anything. They are plain wrong. I am in fact very good at at least 3 things and decent at everything else but society has warped the minds of business ppl to think that there are no ppl like us that can understand and do anything in a shorter amount of time than others and so most ppl prefer to avoid us. It's a BS way of thinking for sure and i think this mentality should change.
Andy B youre not a jack of all trade if ur suffering in aspects of your life some of these intelligences must be lagging
ant Man are you saying you don't believe a true jack-of-all-trades exists? Let me make a statistical argument: suppose these 8 attributes are normally distributed, like almost every attribute of humans. Define a master to be two standard deviations above the norm. One standard deviation is still better than 84% of the population, but not a master, so lets use that as a criterion. Assuming a world population of 7.4 billion people, there are 2,970 people in this world who are jack-of-all-trades and really good at it. I only claimed that I was the most jack of all trade that I know personally. But let us say that I claim to be better than average in all 8 categories. There are over 28 million people in the world who fit this description.

I wonder if intraintelligence, one's awareness of themselves, includes the individuals' moving around between intelligences. I know when I was in high school I was very capable in Chemistry, and often scored higher in science than in any other subject. But then I went on to college to get a degree in English, which was a subject I had tested with low scores in high school. I also graduated with a degree in Philosophy; thus, I have moved from a more scientific mind to a more linguistic mind. Not to mention, with life happening between all of this, ageing, people dying, people coming into my life, I became more self aware, and more mindful of how my interactions with others may influence their interactions with others through out the day, which means I also became more aware of my interpersonal awareness. Would the combination of all these intelligences just be called living, or does this become merely a combination of intelligences in concert with each other? What do we call this concert then? Does the combining of multiple intelligences become a different kind of intelligence? I find myself wary of these divisions of intelligence, much as I am wary of the way we divide the way we educate the masses. We might find that things blend into each other to the point where we cannot actually distinguish where one ends and the other begins.
Karma Kecleon I believe that there are 4 main types of intelligence.
1) Verbal
2) Visual spatial
3) Working memory
4) Speed of absorbing new information.
This is how we measure intelligence on the IQ scale..
Everything he talks about are just subcategories of these 4 main types of intelligence. So you may be strong in certain main types of intelligence, and they could be expressed differently over time. So they don't change as a whole, but the way you express them can change.
Eli Pesso All of those are a combination of logical and what u said makes no sense brother
Thomas Klamirian logical??
Art is logical? Colors, image manipulation, graphic designing... Not logical.
Art is NOT logical, and is part of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale, which is the standard for IQ tests nowadays. It is under the subtest of "Perceptual reasoning/visual spatial intelligence".
I personally score in the 98th percentile in this subtest, and no one has EVER called me smart in a "logical" manner.
Yea sure, logic is part of intelligence, but there are many many studies that show that visual/spatial perceptual reasoning is actually much more important in regards to math and science than you would think.
Our schools need to focus equallly on all intelligences, not just linguistic and logical intelligence.
All these intelligences and Im still stupid....
Nolan Brock Just like the rest of us s😸
upvoted, because that statement is stupid and creates a nice paradox...
Don't worry, wait 4 more years, you will have STUPIDITY intelligence.
This, dear people, is the principal neuromyth of education. Thanks Howard
Elaborate on neuromyth
@@Anika9691 a neuromyth of education is basically a misunderstanding or the misapplication of "brain science" in educational - a popular example is the false belief that there are different learning styles, or that people only use 10% of their brains.
@@james-mz3cf thanks. You are right.
After reading Moonwalking with Einstein, I believe Memory is the most important "intelligence", which involves an aspect of creativity.
Remembering names and faces, anniversary/birthday dates
Consolidating kinesthetic movements in sleep
Learning characters and symbols
Pawn to D4, Map of South African Coastline
It could be a curse, but you could literally memorise psychological courses, making it easier to spontaneously retrieve to fight against PTSD
The most beautiful thing is that books like Moonwalking with Einstein and memory training apps/videos show you simple techniques to improve with practice.
Memory is important yes. When you suddenly remember something that is inherently usefum for the situation, it feels good and it feels like you mind is all the more clear for it. Now what however determines whether or not you are able to retrieve the perfect memory in any given situation?
I suppose that is what you were talking about right? Because I am dead certain there are no coincidences as to why you suddenly remember something important and other times your mind is completely blank.
Number 9: Sexual Intelligence.
+Robert's Art Studio might be a mixture of interpersonal and existential intelligence, but I would love to hear what he thinks on the subject!
Thats interpersonal intelligence
Morpheus
thanks for that, took me a second to type existential to, must not have much of that literary intelligence HA!
+Robert's Art Studio Ah yes. The *vagina*....
+Robert's Art Studio or just 02:35 x))
I don't think the human brain can be divided into these 'intelligences'. The brain is far too complex and maliabal. Ever heard of neuro plasticity? The brain changes on a regular basis to solve new problems every day. New neuronic pathways are created everyone you learn something new. So really, these intelligences really can't be separated. They all fall under the same category of intelligence as a whole.
+I am Superman "hear"
Dunning Kruger Eh?
***** Same
***** Ok. Thanks
+I am Superman The human brain absolutely can be divided into intelligences. It's actually shocking how much like a machine it is, a very complex one, but still. You can see really clear evidence of this in victims of brain damage, absolute proof that certain parts of the brain are responsible for specific "types" of tasks can be seen in these people, or in healthy people who you monitor with advanced equipment. For example you can have your linguistic intelligence broken and suddenly become really bad at forming sentences, or completely lose your ability to associate objects with words, even if you can say the word and define it easily outside of the task of associating it with the object in front of you. If the human brain was really just one bundle of singular intelligence with such grand malleability and plasticity, then we wouldn't see such specific loss of function, we'd just see an overall drop in intelligence after brain damage is sustained.
Give these a thought people:
•Military (crucially necessary within a group, or society)
•Creativity / Artistic
•Practicality (very under rated!)
•Empath, or intra-personal intuition --- ability to read people
•Memorization (rote, or otherwise)
There are many more and their applications can be far more broad and intertwined than this man had time or is capable of covering. It's trully fascinating. And as computers become more intelligent we are going to ha e to think very seriously about them. Same goes for when we begin to enhance our self's.
Ross Catto I suddenly find the field of intelligence comprehension very interesting
I've always had a question that stuck to me ever since I was 12 and that question was "if you were never born into what ever environment you were born in, would your conscious/the way you think still be the same if born into a different environment?"
That's the whole nature/nurture debate. I'm sure you would still have some of the same characteristics but it think we would fundamentally be different. For example it's easy for me a white American now to say if I was born in the 1700s I wouldn't be racist. Truthly though I can't know for sure it I was raised in an environment where since he beginning of my development I was taught to hate there's a much better likelihood I would become racist than me being raised recently with parents making sure I never pre judged any race or religion or sex etc. I grew up pretty privileged not even realizing that stuff existed till from what I remember was around the third grade.
I would be interested in his thoughts about the notion of Wisdom and if/where it fits into his framework.
I believe this should be rephrased as 8 TYPES of intelligence...or more accurately 8 EXPRESSIONS of intelligence. People are generally intelligent. The more pronounced ones are those that are expressed in a certain aspect more than others.
In school I was good at maths and music when I applied myself, but lost interest over time.
Amy Lorenzo same
Amy Lorenzo its probably due to the regimental implications that have been applied to your liking. for example, if you like music and you're put into a class of music but without the right teacher or poor environment, you may loose the love for the art. or maybe even making the love for music so regimental by making you memorize a heap load of things that are probably irrelevant. these are just my thought, think it through if you like it ;)
I would also like to add decisive intelligence. This is the ability to think quickly and decisively. Think like a quarterback going through his reads or a soldier clearing a room or a fireman assessing the situation in a fire. Certain people can think more quickly than the traditional academic. A mathematician for example has time to reason about their answer whereas a quarterback has maybe a few seconds to arrive at theirs.
I guess I would have to look further into the theory but I've been noticing bodily intelligence and think more research has to be done on it. If you look at people like Michael Jackson, he had the same level of mind to body coordination/dexterity as most of us have hand to mind coordination (if we're lucky), you'll know something unique is going on. Michael Jordan as well and his ability to make multiple complex body manuevers in a single jump to simulate flight or out maneuver a defensive crowd. Gymnasts, boxers, yogis, martial artists, dancers, actors all show this.
ReichspepesKonzentrationsLager they worked really hard to expand the neural connections between their brain and their bodies... which is increased brain activity... which is more intelligent.
***** People train to be brilliant as well. If you don't think Einstein put time and effort into his craft, expanding his capacity to understand and reason, and training himself to actualize his ideas then you may only have half of the story. Intelligence isn't static in any form and can be lost with time if not used and. Painters authors and mathematicians will all tell you the same thing.
I think he talks about cognitive functions ! but books / articles with INTELLIGENCE on its title sell more ;)
Dimitry Linnik makes sense
Dimitry Linnik >> Implying cognitive functions doesn't equal intelligence
The concept behind intelegence or the original IQ is that it can't be altered and can be tested continually with consistent results (there might be a bias towards mathematics since that is the way we quantify and measure stuff). If you can't alter it there is no use on trying to better it even further, just like the color of your eyes won't change naturally no matter what you do. All the intelegences presented overlap on the same aspect, abstract thinking, openness and ability to make use of it
I would combine spatial and body kinesthetics as one, teaching and interpersonal together. Wouldn't categorise nature as one imo
i think humour is a combination of linguistic and interpersonal Intelligence.
Sexual intelligence i.e. one who is good at having sex is someone who has body kinetic and intrapersonal intelligence.
1. linguistic intelligence
2. logical mathematical intelligence
3. Musical intelligence
4. Spatial intelligence
5. Kinaesthetic intelligence
6. Interpersonal intelligence
7. Intrapersonal intelligence
8. Naturalist intelligence
9. Teaching
10. Existential intelligence
For myself
He did not include "Artificial Intelligence"
The surprise ending
Which is 'the faking of intelligence'
I think These Are Just Skills you can Learn and Master over Time
0815Snickersboy that's what any skill is. No one is born talented
TheCanadianKeyboard Jacob Barnett was born talented. 4 months old, using cheerios to calculate the area/volume of the cheerios box. People can be born OR made talented.
Adrian Avalos made talented? you mean hard working. you either are talented or not :)
Deejay Daiel I'm not sure how you're statement somehow falsifies mine? People can be made talented (obviously through hard work). Or Born
Yes, this guy is full of shit. What he says has zero scientific value and serves only to stroke people's egos.
People are generally very high in "please call something I can do intelligence" - intelligence.
