I need to hear to communicate. I love sound. I am a fairly good musician. I often relate a 'beat' or 'rhythm' in my head to all things. I need lots of background noise if I am working or studying. And I am so desperate to hear what most of you sound like. For those who are linguistically inclined, this online medium is fantastic. For others, whose strengths lie elsewhere, maybe it is a bit harder.
How best do you communicate, learn, live, be. What is your strongest intelligence? Teachers know their students' strongest MI (Multiple Intelligence, It helps in communication.
The theory of (MI) was proposed by Gardner in'83. Gardner claims that each individual has a kind of intelligence, and therefore may best learn through a different learning process.
The categories of intelligence are:
Bodily-kinesthetic
Bodily movement. These people usually learn better by getting up and moving around, and are generally good at physical activities such as sports or dance. In general, good at building and making things.
Interpersonal
Interaction with others. People who have a high interpersonal intelligence tend to be extroverts, characterized by their sensitivity to others' moods, feelings, temperaments and motivations, and their ability to cooperate in order to work as part of a group.
Verbal-linguistic
Words, spoken or written. Good with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words along with dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and discussion and debate. Good at public speaking. .
Logical-mathematical
Logic, abstractions, reasoning, and numbers. It correlates strongly with traditional concepts of "intelligence" or IQ.
Naturalistic
Nature, nurturing and relating information to one's natural surroundings. Those with it are said to have greater sensitivity to nature and their place within it, the ability to nurture and grow things, and greater ease in dealing with animals.
Intrapersonal
Introspective and self-reflective capacities. Usually highly self-aware and capable of understanding their own emotions, goals and motivations. They often have an affinity for thought-based pursuits such as philosophy. Often a high level of perfectionism.
.
Visual-spatial
Vision and spatial judgment. Typically very good at visualizing and mentally manipulating objects. Often proficient at solving puzzles. Generally have a very good sense of direction and may also have very good hand-eye coordination. Often artists.
Musical
Rhythm, music, and hearing. Display greater sensitivity to sounds, rhythms, tones, and music. They normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. Will often use songs or rhythms to learn and memorize information, and may work best with music playing in the background.
Which one are you?
Sorry, I know that was a long read.....
