    Multiple intelligences
    Gardner’s theory on multiple intelligences states that every human is able to see seven relatively independent form of information. The human intelligences are widely ranged. The best ways to assess the intelligences are by an intelligence fair instrument. Examples of the seven multiple intelligences are Logical-Mathematical Intelligence which has the ability to detect patterns and are used mostly with math and science. Linguistic Intelligence which deals with the languages. Spatial Intelligence which gives one the idea to create images to solve there problems. Musical Intelligence which lets you recognize and play musical pitches, tones and rhythm. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence which helps you to control your body. Lastly the is the Personal intelligence which are feelings and intentions toward someone and this one is separate is to understand ones feelings.

  2. So, is there a relationship between intelligence types and professions? Let's say what kind of intelligence would benefit a baseball player, and which one a brain surgeon?

    Professions are related to intelligence. Gardner identifies multiple types of intelligences. Each type of intelligence has certain characteristics that are ideal to specific types of professions.


    The multiple intelligences that Gardner
    identifies are:

    1. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. For example this intelligence type is ideal for an engineer, programmer and accountants.

    2. Linguistic Intelligence is the intelligence of manipulating the language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically. It also allows one to use language as a means to remember information. This intelligence type would be ideal for a journalist, teacher and lawyer.

    3. Spatial Intelligence gives one the ability to manipulate and create mental images in order to solve problems. The person with this intelligence would be ideal for a navigator, sculptor and architect.

    4. Musical Intelligence is the capability to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms. The person with this intelligence is ideal for a musician and a composer.

    5. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one's own bodily movements. An ideal profession for a person with this intelligence would be an athlete, firefighter and actor.


    6. The Personal Intelligences includes
    Interpersonal intelligence is the ability feelings and intentions of others. An ideal profession for a person with this intelligence would be a counselor, politician and salesperson.

    7. Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to understand one's own feelings and motivations. The person with this intelligence would be an ideal researcher, novelist and entrepreneur.

    Multiple Intelligences
    According to Howard Gardner, humans are not limited to one way of learning, in fact, scientists today argue that there exist more than 6 types of intelligences in which a person may thrive. Some of those intelligences are spatial, linguistic, mathematical, musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalistic. This means that a person who succeds in understanding and reproducing music (i.e. Mozart) mis not necessarily less smart than a person who thrives on another field of intelligences like a psychologists who uses interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to better comunicate with people. This just means that theyr brains work in a different way and they both take advantage of their adaptation to learning in a specific way.

    Multiple intelegences can be learned thourout your life and can be perfected. Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. However, Dr. Gardner says that we should also place equal attention on individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences. so that means if you are better at one intelegence you should try to make it enevn better and try to be the best. schools should try to find those people that are good at one thing and they should also try to do more of the intelligences.

    The kind of intelligence that would benefit a baseball player would be Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence which is the ability to use one's mental abilities to coordinate one's own bodily movements. Which challenges the belief that mental and physical activity are unrelated. A brain surgeon might benefit from Logical-Mathematical Intelligence which consists of the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This is mostly associated with scientific and mathematical thinking.

    Although the intelligences are anatomically separated from each other, Gardner claims that the seven intelligences rarely ever operate independently. On the contrary, the intelligences are used concurrently and typically complement each other as individuals develop skills or solve problems.

    For example, a dancer can excel in his art only if he has
    • strong musical intelligence to understand the rhythm and variations of the music,
    • interpersonal intelligence to understand how he can inspire or emotionally move his
    audience through his movements, as well as
    • bodily-kinesthetic intelligence to provide him with the agility and coordination to complete
    the movements successfully.

    Multiple intelligences
    Gardner’s theory which came out in 1991 and explains why different people process information differently and therefore also perform, learn, remember and ultimately understand the world in many various ways. Gardner suggested there are seven intelligences; Visual-Spatial, Bodily-kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Linguistic, and lastly Logical -Mathematical. Visual-Spatial intelligence is all about being able to think of things terms like in physical space while Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is about knowing how to work with your body and Musical intelligence is about being sensitive to sounds. Interpersonal and Intrapersonal are about knowing people except Interpersonal is understanding others and Intrapersonal is about understanding ones self. Linguistic intelligence is about being able to use words effectively and lastly Logical -Mathematical is about reasoning and calculating. I took a quiz online that said i am more Linguistic and Bodily-kinesthetic than the other five intelligences and after a while of research I found those two intelligences very well suited to me. To answer your question about whether there is a relationship between intelligence types and professions; I do believe there is a huge relationship between them for example like you posted a surgeon would need to be very Bodily-kinesthetic intelligent to be able to successfully a major surgery in a very small place in the human body such as the heart.

    I believe that when one chooses a profession they choose one that suits them depending on their talents and special abilities. This is also something they would typically enjoy doing. According to the type of intelligence you possess, whether it be musical, linguistic, logical mathematical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal or spatial; one tends to choose a profession in which they can use their intelligence. This way they enjoy their jobs and therefore, are able to succeed at what they do. A baseball player will need to have kinesthetic intelligence to be able to do well. If not, he will not be a good baseball player. In the same way, someone with kinesthetic intelligence will enjoy doing sports since they excel when they do. A brain surgeon will need to have some spatial intelligence to visualize what he is going to do and logical mathematical intelligence to determine if a surgery is needed. Even some kinesthetic intelligence to control his body movements for they must be very exact, steady and precise when performing a surgery. All in all, according to your intelligence you choose a profession in the field to which it applies.

    When people get jobs they usually get job that they are skilled in like math or art. Gardner"s theory of multiple intelligences says there are 8 intelligences you can excel in. 1) Linguistic intelligence is when you are good with you're words. Jobs that may have this type of intelligence are lawyers, writers, or speakers. 2) Logical math intelligences is when you are good with numbers or find patterns. Jobs that have this intelligence are people whose job is in the mathematical or scientific community. 3) Musical intelligence is when you can preform, compose, and interpret musical patterns. Jobs that have this intelligence are musicians, composers, or others involved with music. 4)Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is when you use your body for expression. Jobs with this intelligence are professional athletes or dancers. 5) Spatial intelligence is when you can interpret image or ideas in you mind to make something out of it. Jobs with this intelligence are architects, sculptors or designers. 6) Interpersonal intelligence is when you understand other peoples intentions,motivations and desires. Jobs with this intelligence are therapy, teaching, or sales. 7) Intrapersonal is when you understand your self and to interpret and appreciate your own feelings or motivations. Jobs with this intelligence are therapy, actors, caregivers or writers. 8) Naturalist intelligence is when you recognize and appreciate our relationship with the natural world. Jobs with this intelligence are astronomers or biologists, zoologists.

    Multiple Intelligence

    In Howard Grangers book, "Multiple Intelligences: The Theory in Practice.' Granger speaks about seven different "intelligences" that define people:Logical-Mathimatical, Linguistic, Spatial, Musical, Bodily-Kenisthetic, Personal, Intra-Personal.
    Usually, and in my opinion, most people pick the profession that is most related with their intelligence. Often a person is said to be "gifted" in one of the above subjects and that is their intelligence. For example, the smartest kid in your math class probably has the Logical-Mathematical intelligence.

  12. Gardner's Theory of Multiple intelligences basically states that each person's mind functions differently and that we as people and students have greater strengths in certain intelligences as opposed to others. Due to the fact that people have different mind types, they are therefore able to learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways. For example some people are more strong in the visual spacial intelligence. These people are very conscious of the space around them, these such people would be good architects and artists. Others are bodily kinesthetic and are good with their body, they could be talented dancers or surgeons, for these people are very aware of the movements they make. Some are strong in the musical intelligence field are would learn better through rhythm and song. Others are more intelligent in the interpersonal field, meaning they are good communicators. Furthermore, people can also be intelligent in the interpersonal aspect meaning they can connect with themselves. Then being linguistically intelligent means that people are good with their words, they could be authors and are often good orators. Finally, there are those who are logically and mathematically intelligent, they can make good mathematicians, and can clearly make out patters and relationships.

    Multiple Intelligences:

    This theory says that there are different types of intelligences in a person that consist of different things. Gardner formed seven basic intelligences (linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinesthetic, intra-personal and interpersonal). The linguistic intelligence focuses on speaking, reading, and writing. This would be a good intelligence for an English teacher or a business person. The musical intelligence focuses on whether you could read, write or play musical notations, and also includes singing. The logical-mathematical intelligence focuses on math, logical problems, being able to see patterns and being able to work with numbers. This intelligence would most probably be found in a math teacher or an account. The spatial intelligence focuses on things that you need to have a metal picture of. For example, architecture and the visual arts. Gardner has said that this intelligence is found a lot in blind people. The body-kinesthetic intelligence focuses on movement of any sorts. For example, exercising or playing a sport like basketball or swimming. This intelligence is most likely found in anyone that is active, exercises or is a professional athlete. The intra-personal intelligence focuses on being able to understand someone's own feelings and motivations in life. This intelligence would probably be found in someone that knows how to express themselves. The last intelligence, the interpersonal intelligence, focuses on being able to recognize the feelings and intents of others. This intelligence could possibly be found in therapists.

    Multiple Intelligences

    Gardner defines intelligence as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting". Gardner and Hatch in 1989 formulated a list of seven intelligences which are, Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, Linguistic Intelligence, Spatial Intelligence, Musical Intelligence, Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence, and Personal Intelligences. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is the ability to detect patterns, think logically, and other things along the lines of mathematical thinking. Linguistic Intelligence involves knowing many languages deeply. This Intelligence includes the ability to make your message very clear when speaking that language. Spatial Intelligence consists of creating a mental imagery to solve problems. Gardner notes that spatial intelligence is also formed in blind children. Musical Intelligence is the ability to create and recognize pitches, tones, and rhythms. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is the ability to use one’s mind to control and coordinate their body accurately. Personal Intelligences includes interpersonal feelings and intentions of others and interpersonal feelings and intentions of oneself. These two intelligences are separate from each other. Nevertheless, because of their close association in most cultures they are often linked together.

    Multiple Intelligences
    In school today a new view of intelligence is fastly being used. In Howard Gardner's theory he expanded the idea of intelligence so that it would also include 3 different topics. Interpersonal knowledge, music, and spacial relations. Doing much research on biological and cultural aspects he created a list of seven intelligences.
    They are:
    *Linguistic Intelligence contains having a mystery of language, it is also used as a way of remembering information. It can be used to change the language to express yourself through poerty or rhetorically. An ideal lifestyle for musicians, poets, and a translator.

    *Logical Mathematical Intelligence is most often related to math and scientific thinking. It contains the ability to reason deductively, detect patterns, and think logically. This intelligence type is practical for a doctor, a scientist, and a marine biologist.

    *Musical Intelligence encorporates the ability to compose and recognize musical rythms, tones, pitches. An ideal lifestyle for a pianist, musician, and a songwriter.

    *Spacial Intelligence gives the ability to create and change mental images to solve problems. An ideal lifestlye for psychologists and an artist.

    *Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence is the intelligence which challenges the belief that mental and physical activity are not related. It is the intelligence with the ability to coordinate a persons own body movements using their mental abilities. An ideal job would be a surgeon. Surgeons need to be exact by controlling their body movements with there mind.

    *The Personal Intelligence has intrapersonal intelligence. Intrapersonal intelligence is one that can understand a persons motivation and feelings. An ideal job for a person with this intelligence would be a psychologist, or a therapist.

    And last but not least

    *Interpersonal feelings is to be able to feel the intentions of others. An ideal job for this would be a psychiatrist and conselor.

    Howard Granger developed a theory called "Multiple Intelligences" that basiclly states that there are seven different intelligences which are Logical-Mathimatical intelligence, Linguistic intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Musical intelligence, Bodily-Kenisthetic intelligence, and the Personal intelligences. In my oppinion if the theory of "Multiple Intelligences" is true then there has to be a relationship between the intelligences and job professions. For example a baseball player would probably possess Bodily-Kenisthetic intelligence, becuase they have to mentally coordinate thier body to be able to catch the ball with thier glove, or hit the ball with a bat.

    Theory of Multiple Intelligences

    Proposed by Howard Gardner, the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI theory) states that you cannot measure a person's intelligence in one number, but must record several, 9 as he has recently stated, numbers in order to measure their different intelligence levels. A person who can speak or write fluently and in a sophisticated way most likely has a high linguistic intelligence, for example. Others include mathematic skill: logical-mathematical, ability to determine and interpret space: Spatial, and musical understanding and ability to create music: Musical.

    Drawing from biological and cultural research, Gardner developed a list of seven intelligences. He also argued that the seven intelligences rarely operate independently. In addition, Gardner supports the idea that different cultures solve problems and/or create products with varying degrees of value on the seven intelligences. Professions related to the seven intelligences with a degree of overlap include:
    1. Logical - mathematical
    Professions: Physician, surgeon, banker, stock broker, architect
    2. Linguistic

    Multiple Intelligences

    There is a theory that states that there are different types of intelligences that can be found in a person. Gardner said that there are seven intelligences: Spatial, Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, and Intra-personal. The Spatial intelligence focuses on imagery. This intelligence could be found in architects. The Linguistic intelligence focuses on the use of words and speaking. This intelligence could be found in language translators. The Logical-mathematical intelligence focuses on problem solving, calculating and being good with numbers. This intelligence could be found in bankers and architects too. The Kinesthetic intelligence focuses on movement of the body in any way. This intelligence could be found in a dancer. The Musical intelligence focuses on whether you could read, write, and play musical notations. this intelligence could be in a music teacher or a musician. The Interpersonal intelligence focuses on being able to understand someone else's feelings. This intelligence could be found in counselors. Finally, the Intra-personal intelligence focuses on being able to understand one's feelings and goals. This could be found in writers. Gardner stated that even though these intelligences are separated into different things they are kind of all similar in a way.

    According to Howard Gardner, there are seven different intelligences. Those include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily kinesthetic intelligence, spatial intelligence, and 2 different but similar personal intelligences. Linguistic intelligence is being able to remember spoken languages simply and express yourself with words or it could also be that you can take a pen and paper and express yourself through written work such as poems or stories. Logical-mathematical intelligence is, as it says in the title, a logical way of thinking. For example, say a person takes a picture of something through a window and then claims to see a face in the picture, the person who says that it’s probably just a smudge is most likely thinking with a logical mathematical mind. It also includes being good with patterns, problems, and operations. Musical Intelligence often emerges early in life. For example, my brother started playing guitar at the age of six and was a natural from the beginning. Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence has to do with the mind helping the body to move in the right ways. Spatial Intelligence is using different ranges of space and noticing the differences of the two. Therapists are one example of people who have a personal intelligence because they are able to see where people are coming from and interpret them in ways others cannot. Another personal intelligence includes the ability to live ones life according to how they see themselves. Every person is intelligent in different ways.

    Professions are related to intelligence. Gardner identifies different types of intelligences. In this way, many people can find better jobs that will suit their character. Some of the intelligences are listed below:

    1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)



    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. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.



    2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)



    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.





    3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)



    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.



    4. Existential Intelligence


    Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.



    5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”)



    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.



    6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)



    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 craftspeople exhibit well-developed bodily kinesthetic intelligence.

    7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart)



    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.

    Howard Gardener is best known for his theory Multiple Intelligence. Multiple intelligence is an idea that various intelligences are ascribed to human beings.There are various multiple intelligence which are:
    1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”); This means that you are in touch with your surroundings and have a natural sensitivity towards the natural world.
    2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”):This is the aility to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, like composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners.
    3.Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart):is the ability to calulate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations.
    4. Existential Intelligence: Sensitivity and to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here. Basically you want answers about the history our past, th epresent 7 the future.
    5.Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”):ability to understand interact & be social with others.It involves almost all forms of communication.
    6.Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart"):is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills or basically to be at one with the body.
    7.Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart):is the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings
    8.Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”):is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings& knows the direction of their life.
    9.Spatial intelligence: is the ability to think in three dimensions

    Howard Gardner's theory states that there are seven different types of intelligences. You should always do what you are most experienced at. If you do what you excel at then you will make an enormous contribution in how the world and community act together.



    1. Linguistic intelligence-

    Involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals. This intelligence includes the ability to effectively use language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically; and language as a means to remember information. Writers, poets, lawyers and speakers are among those that Howard Gardner sees as having high linguistic intelligence.

    2. Logical-

    Mathematical intelligence consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically. In Howard Gardner's words, it entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking.

    3. Musical intelligence-

    Involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. It encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms. According to Howard Gardner musical intelligence runs in an almost structural parallel to linguistic intelligence.

    4. Bodily-

    Kinesthetic intelligence entails the potential of using one's whole body or parts of the body to solve problems. It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Howard Gardner sees mental and physical activity as related.

    5. Spatial intelligence-

    Involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.

    6. Interpersonal intelligence-

    Is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people. It allows people to work effectively with others. Educators, salespeople, religious and political leaders and counsellors all need a well-developed interpersonal intelligence.

    7. Intrapersonal intelligence-

    Entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations. In Howard Gardner's view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.
