What are multiple intelligences?

In his groundbreaking 1983 book, Frames of Mind, Harvard professor of education
Howard Gardner theorized that people can be smart in a number of ways. He suggests
that environments, cultures, and genetic makeups determine how all of our intelligences
work together, and which ones become more developed. Gardner eventually came up
with a list of eight recognized intelligences:
Linguistic
Logical-Mathematical
Spatial
Musical
Bodily-Kinesthetic
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
Naturalist
In 1994, author Thomas Armstrong incorporated Gardner's theory in his book, Multiple
Intelligences in the Classroom (ASCD, 1994). The checklists we've used in this online
questionnaire are from his book.
The information about Multiple Intelligences that appears on each "intelligence page" is
adapted from the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Developments' (ASCD)
Professional Development Online.

Background Information on Multiple Intelligences

by FamilyEducation Staff
1. Every person possesses all eight intelligences. These intelligences all function together
in different ways that are unique to each person. Most of us fall somewhere in between
two poles -- highly developed in some areas, modestly in others, and underdeveloped in
the rest.
2. Most people can develop each intelligence to an adequate level of competency.
3. Intelligences usually work together in complex ways. They are always interacting with
each other. For instance, to play kickball, a child must be able to run and kick
(bodily/kinesthetic), orient himself to the playing field and anticipate where the ball will
land (spatial), and be able to argue a call (interpersonal and linguistic).
4. There are many ways to be intelligent within each category. For example a person may
not be able to read, but may still be able to tell a great story. (Both rely on linguistic
intelligence.)
