I agree with this view because I have a high intelligence in linguistic, but I do not have a very high intelligence in mathematical. I like the way that Gardner split up the intelligences because I do not think that everyone could have a high intelligence in all of the areas. Every person has an intelligence that they are good at and also a weakness that needs worked on(M. Mclean, DQ 2 week 3, February 16th 2013). People can take IQ tests to discover their intelligence but they have to be aware that it could be biased. Logical-Mathematical is where a person will detect patterns, reason, and think logically and your thoughts will have scientific and mathematical reasoning.
The researcher conducting this study believes that employees are more productive when they have higher levels of self-esteem. To what extent does the data in Figure 1 support the researcher’s belief? Explain. The data in Figure 1 supports the researcher's belief, that employees are more productive when they have higher levels of self-esteem. It does so, by showing that the higher the employee's self-esteem the more profit is made for the company which can also show that employees are more productive.
The experiment is related closely to the Stanford Prison and Milgram Experiments, in that it tries to show how perfectly normal human beings can be pressured into unusual behavior by authority figures, or by the consensus of opinion around them. For the experiment, eight subjects were seated around a table, with the seating plan carefully constructed to prevent any suspicion. Only one participant was actually a genuine subject for the experiment, the rest being confederates, carefully tutored to give certain pre-selected responses. Careful experimental construction placed a varying amount of peer pressure on the individual test subject. Asch Experiment - Figure 1 The experiment was simple in its construction; each participant, in turn,
In many cases people’s lives may depend on instructions made in very difficult circumstances when everyone is under pressure. In situations like these it is important that the person giving out the instructions has the confidence and suitable skills to do the job effectively and efficiently these are some of the qualities of a good instructor. Confidence Being a confident instructor means that you understand what you are talking about and you can talk in a clear and effective way. This means that talking clearly and properly. It also includes standing and facing the group, making eye contact, using body language, moving around the room and dressing smartly is also important, for e.g.
With this theory in mind each of the eight intelligences would have to be tested. Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence conflicts with the traditional IQ test because a person can have high intelligence in area and still display great skill at something despite having low intelligence in another area. For example, a person with high logical/mathematical may be a great accountant despite only having only average interpersonal intelligence. The traditional measures of IQ is bias leaning toward skills valued in technologically advanced societies, leaving the human history of musical, spatial, and bodily intelligences to more highly valued. Gardner’s view is that people have multiple intelligences because they have multiple neural modules (Kowalski & Westen, 2009, Chapter eight).
The Theory of Multiple Intelligences “The theory of multiple intelligences identifies eight intelligences: musical, bodily/kinesthetic (Such as the control over the body and movement that distinguishes great athletes and dancers), spatial (the use of mental maps), linguistic or verbal, logical/mathematical, naturalist, intraper- sonal (self-understanding), and interpersonal (social skills)” (Kowalski & Weston, 2009, p.279). Examination of Garners Multiple Intelligence Theories When examining Gardner’s theories of multiple intelligences, one must take a closer look at these theories. The 8 theories of Gardeners Multiple Intelligence are as follows: Musical Intelligence- An individual possessing musical intelligence is considered to be
This means that the child will be getting a full learning experience and understand the lesson because it is easier for them. Communication between the multi-agency team will help practitioners understand the child’s needs which will help the practitioner to plan
Nevertheless I was surprised to stumble upon a Facebook meme suggesting that people who wreck their brains worrying everyday have a higher IQ than the others. Intrigued by this little discovery of mine I did some research. Firstly, there is an evolutionary link discovered by scientists between our tendency to worry and our intelligence, meaning that our capacity to worry has evolved with our ability to think. Prove for this is our history itself. By the passing of centuries people have become more concerned about society and the way we conduct life.
This category of thinkers like to help people, solve social problems and sees self as friendly, and trustworthy. Enterprising people tend to lead and persuade others and is good at selling things or ideas, values politics, business or leadership. Finally,
(Checkley 1997, p9) Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intellegences was proposed in 1983. It suggests that all people possess at least eight different intelligences that operate in varying degrees depending upon each individual. The seven primary intelligences identified by Gardner include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. (Checkley 1997, p12) The eighth, naturalistic intelligence, was not part of Gardner's original framework but was added in 1996 to include those who excel in the realm of natural science. Gardner states that 'we can all get better at each of the intelligences, although some people will improve in an intelligence area more readily than others, either because biology gave them a better brain for that intelligence or because their culture gave them a better teacher' (Checkley 1997, p10).
