Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences has received much criticism over the years, but has also continued to gain ground in the field of psychology (Hockenbury & Hockenbury, 2018). Although every aspect of these eight intelligences has not yet been explored, Gardner has laid the foundation for recognizing the potential intelligences in everyone. These intelligences are interdependent on each other which is why children are encouraged to study in all of them from a young age. This is accomplished through implementation of a variety of classes in schools. My personal multiple intelligences test reveals, unsurprisingly, that my highest intelligences fall into the linguistic, logical, and musical categories.
Psychologist Howard Gardner proposed his theory of multiple intelligences in 1983 and defines intelligences as "the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting" (Gardner & Hatch, 1989, p. 3). His theory is based in biological as well as cultural research and outlines eight different intelligences; musical, bodily or kinesthetic, spatial, linguistic …show more content…
As a scientist, I must be able to communicate to my subjects about experiments, to my peers about my findings, and to my colleagues so we may work better together. While still pursuing my education, I must be able to write well put together papers that follow the American Psychological Association guidelines as well as work together with my peers to create a lasting learning experience. I also believe that my linguistic intelligence has allowed me to learn new languages easily and more quickly. I do not fluently speak any language other than English, but I find it easy to recognize other languages when I hear and read them and can pick out words I know the meaning of here and there. However, none of these would be possible without logical intelligence as
