What I have learned from Gardner’s Theory of Intelligence.
After reading and researching Gardner’s theory I have found that we have numerous types of intelligences and that each individual has a certain set of intelligences that apply to them. For instance a person who acquires Spatial Intelligence might find themselves working as a Graphic Designer, Architect or as an Artist. Whereas people who have Kinaesthetic Intelligence might find themselves working as a Builder, Sculptor or as a Carpenter like myself. After I took Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Assessment I discovered that I am a hybrid of Musical, Spatial and Kinaesthetic Intelligences. That means that I remember things very well when they are associated with music or rhythm which come from Musical intelligence. I also remember things well visually, like the layout rooms, blueprint drawings for a building site and also through colour and design, this is Spatial Intelligence. I also fall into the category of Kinaesthetic Intelligence. For me personally this makes sense as I have worked as a carpenter for many years and I would consider my to be very skilled in working with my hands.
