Definition

• Wechsler defines Intelligence as the global capacity of the individual


to act purposefully, think rationally, and to deal effectively with his
environment.
• Galton studies of hereditary genius, in the later part of 19th century,
Galton studied family trees and found that success and eminence
appeared consistently in some families over generations.
• Galton (1869) concluded that success runs in families because great
intelligence is past from generation to generation through genetic
inheritance
GARDNER’S MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCES
• Gardner argues that we have at a minimum eight different forms of
intelligence.
• Each relatively independent of the others: musical, bodily kinesthetic,
logical-mathematical, Linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal,
and naturalist.
Naturalist Intelligence

• Naturalist intelligence designates the human ability to discriminate


among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other
features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations).
• This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters,
gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as
botanist or chef.
Musical Intelligence

• Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and


tone.
• This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect
on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians,
vocalist, and sensitive listeners.
• Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and
the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share
common thinking processes.
• Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or
drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others
may miss.
Logical-Mathematical
Intelligence
• Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify,
consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete
mathematical operations.
• It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use
abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive
and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well
developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives.
• Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns,
categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems,
strategy games and experiments.
Existential Intelligence

• Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human


existence, such as the meaning of life, why we die, and how did we
get here.
Interpersonal Intelligence

• Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact


effectively with others.
• It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to
note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and
temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple
perspectives.
• Teachers, social workers, actors, and politicians all exhibit interpersonal
intelligence.
• Young adults with this kind of intelligence are leaders among their peers,
are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings
and motives.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

• Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects


and use a variety of physical skills.
• This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of
skills through mind–body union.
• Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and crafts people exhibit well-developed
bodily kinesthetic intelligence.
Linguistic Intelligence

• Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use


language to express and appreciate complex meanings.
• Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning
of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of
language.
• Linguistic intelligence is the most widely shared human competence
and is evident in poets, novelists, journalists, and effective public
speakers.
• Young adults with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading,
telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.
Intra-personal Intelligence
• Intra-personal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and
one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning
and directioning one’s life.
• Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the
self, but also of the human condition.
• It is evident in psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers. These
young adults may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings
and are self-motivated.
Spatial Intelligence
• Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions.
• Core capacities include mental imagery, graphic and artistic
skills, and an active imagination.
• They understand the relationship between images and
meanings, and between space and effect.
• Sailors, pilots, sculptors, painters, and architects all exhibit
spatial intelligence.
• Young adults with this kind of intelligence may be fascinated
with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing or
daydreaming.
