come across this interesting article...
everyone has a special learning style, in those IQ tests in school, only one type of intelligence was being measured: a person's aptitude or talent for words. But what if someone's not a word person?
in 1983 a phychologist named Howard Gardner published a book called Frames of Mind (Basic Books). In it, he describes seven different types of intelligence, not just one.
1) verbal-linguistic intelligence -this type of intelligence has to do with reading, writing, and language. it's also called being "word smart"
2) Numerical intelligence - this intelligence is found in ppl who easily grasp data and number. they're usually calm and rational thinker.
3) spatial intelligence - this intelligence is used to see patterns, designs and space and is found in many artists, architects and choreographers who can visualize a two- or three-dimensional object or event and make it real.
4) musical intelligence - this type of intelligence is especially tuned in to sound, rhythm and rhymes.
5) physical intelligence - someone with awareness of how to use your body well, like many athletes and dancers.
6) interpersonal intelligence - refers to the way someone gets along with other ppl, which is also called "being ppl smart"
7) intrapersonal intelligence - "being self-smart" or self aware. its also called emotional intelligence as it relates to the way you handle your emotions, such as fear and anger.
8) natural intelligence - describe a person's sensitivity to the world around him or her (e.g enjoy being outdoors every weekend, involved in sch or community groups working for the environment)
so which of these intelligence u belong to???
