Multiple Intelligence: What Does that Mean?

As proposed by Dr. Howard Gardener in 1983, intelligence is constituted with 8 different factors. They are:

• Linguistic Intelligence

• Logical Mathematical Intelligence

• Spatial Intelligence

• Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

• Musical Intelligence

• Interpersonal Intelligence

• Intrapersonal Intelligence

• Naturalist Intelligence

So, according to Gardener, we should not take only a single factor under consideration. Many of us have multitude of talents. Sometimes it may be possible that a boy may not be very sharp in his academics, but that does not necessarily means that he is dumb or stupid. It may be quite possible that he is having musical intelligence, if you find him extremely melodious and he loves music from the true core of his heart. So just don’t hurt your child and prove yourself stupid enough to not become able to understand his / her intelligence type.

Now it's time to get back to the result of the last published post. Before I get into the result, I must say apology to my readers for not being able to appear on time. It is due to my mother's operation for gall-bladder stone and I had to stay there almost all the time. Now she is quite OK with her health. Well, now here is the result of the previous post.
