Everyone has their own ways of defining intelligence. It can be based on a test, mean nothing, define your future, or anything else you think it means. How do you define intelligence? Howard Gardner defines intelligence into 9 different categories, Randall Engle says it may predict your future, while I think it is substantial based on my research.
First, Howard Gardner says there are 9 types of intelligences. In the article “Multiple Intelligence (MI) – Howard Gardner” it says there is spatial, linguistic, mathematical, kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal, interpersonal, naturalist, and existentialist intelligence. Gardner explains how he figures this out and says it is based off a test. A person may score low in one area and high in others. “Teachers in traditional classrooms primarily teach to the verbal/linguistic and mathematical/logical intelligences.” Gardner thinks that if students know their intelligence type, they’ll be able to learn better and more …show more content…
Engle Randall “Can Intelligence Really Be Measured” says, “...for example, people with the highest IQs file more patents, publish more academic papers, and earn higher income.” This means that the people who scored higher had better success. It suggests that the people who scored lower may have not made as much money or published the most academic papers as those who did better. But saying this doesn't mean they weren't successful it just means they were as successful. It states “But scoring well on an Iq test doesn’t predict success, nor does a relatively average or lower score predict a life of misery.” The way the Engle explains this means scoring well or not doesn’t necessarily affect the life you will live in the future. If you score bad on this test, it just means you're bad at a test not life. Your life won't be over because of a test. Randall Engle defines intelligence as something that can predict your
