What is intelligence?
An intelligence is the biopsychological potential to process information
in certain ways, in order to solve problems or fashion products that are
valued in a culture or community. Think of several relatively
independent computers, not a single all-purpose one.
8 Types of Multiples Intelligence:
1.Visual-spatial
2.Linguistic-verbal
3.Logical-mathematical
4.Body-kinesthetic
5.Musical
6.Interpersonal
7.Intrapersonal
8.Naturalistic
1. Linguistic People
who are strong in linguistic-verbal intelligence are able to use words
well, both when writing and speaking. These individuals are typically

analyzing problems. These individuals tend to think conceptually about
numbers, relationships, and patterns.
Those people are good in:
• Have excellent problem-solving skills
• Enjoy thinking about abstract ideas
• Like conducting scientific experiments
• Can solve complex computations
3.Body-kinesthetic
People who are good in body movement, performing actions, and
physical control. People who are strong in this area tend to have
excellent hand-eye coordination and dexterity. These people chose they
carrier such as dancer, actor, and craftsperson and much more…

Candiate New Intelligence
1.Existential Intelligence
This type of people asks "big" questions about topics such as the
meaning of life and how actions can serve larger goals, why we died.
And they have ability to see big picture
2.Padagogical Intelligence

to other.
Two Scientific Claims
1)We all have these intelligence-they make us human, cognitively
speaking.
2) No two people- not even identical twins (or clones)- have exactly the
same profile of intelligences
Important point#1:
Multiple intelligence is not an educational end in itself.It usefulas an
educational mean to a publicly stated goal.
Important point#2:
You cannot legitimately go from scientific finding to an educational
recommendation - any scientific claim (including MI theory) yields a
large number of implications, even ones that may appear inconsistent
with one another.
Entry points to key concept:
1. Narrative
2. Logical/Quantitative
3. Existential
4. Aesthetic
5. “Hand-on”
6. Interpersonal/Do work togther
