Linguistic Intelligence (“word smart”)
The “word smart” people learn best through language
including speaking, writing, reading, and listening. They use language to express what is on their minds and to understand other people. They are able to explain, convince, and express themselves verbally or in writing. They enjoy writing and creating with words. Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”) The “number smart” people learn best through numbers, reasoning, and problem solving. They are able to create and manipulate visuals and mental pictures from various perspectives. They like to weight, measure, calculate, and organise data. They are good at making an analogy or debating an issue. Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”) The “picture smart” people have the ability to represent the spatial world in their minds. So, they learn best visually and tend to organise their thinking spatially. They like to think and create pictures. They are also drawn to information that is presented in a visual form. Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“music smart”) The “body smart” people use their whole body or parts of their body to solve a problem. They learn best through physical activity such as dance, hand-on tasks, construction models, and any kind of movement. They are able to manipulate and control objects, as well as express their ideas through movement. Musical Intelligence (“music smart”) The “music smart” people think in music, hearing patterns, recognising, remembering, and manipulating them. They learn best through sounds including listening and making sounds such as songs, rhythms, patterns, and other types of auditory expression. They are able to use inductive and deductive reasoning and identify relationships in data. Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”) The “social smart” people learn best through interaction with other people through discussions, co-operative work, or social activities. They are able to create synergy in a room by being aware of the feelings and motives of others. They can be excellent leaders because they enjoy being part of a group. Intrapersonal intelligence (‘self smart”) The “self smart” people have a good understanding of themselves. Because they know who they are, what they can do, and what they want to do, they tend not to screw up. They learn best through meta-cognitive practices Acknowledgement Paulette Henderson-Crofts such as getting in touch with their feelings and self motivation. They are able to concentrate and be mindful. They prefer solitary activities. Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”) The “nature” people have sensitivity to other features of the natural world. So, they learn best through the interactions with the environment including outdoor activities, field trips, and involvement with plants and animals. They see the subtle meanings and patterns in nature and the world around them.
