The 8 Different Types of Intelligence
Hi,
I hope you are doing well. Welcome to another Here’s An Idea Worth Playing With (HAIWPW). The weekly audio show about ideas that I think are worth playing with.
I recorded this at lunch today, after recording a video about park benches (yes, you read that right). I was at Avington Park, a wonderful estate just outside of Winchester. It was cold. There were some menacing looking bulls. The swans were circling. Some bird watchers were hanging around.
And I was musing about the 8 different types of intelligence and playing with the idea that our workplaces may benefit from appreciating, amplifying and accelerating the diversity of intelligence. This list is from this source.
The 8:
- Spatial intelligence - Abstract and dimensional thinking
- Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence - Understanding our body
- Musical intelligence - Sensitivity to rhythm, etc
- Linguistic/Language intelligence - flow, correct words, melody, tone
- Logical-mathematical intelligence - The ability to analyze problems logically (the classical idea of intelligence)
- Interpersonal intelligence - The ability to interact effectively with others
- Intrapersonal intelligence - Sensitivity to one’s own feelings, goals, capabilities and values
- Naturalistic intelligence - The ability to understand nature
I mention:
- The communication workshop (we cover a couple of these 8 in this course).
- The Trinity of Career Development
- The 10 Behaviours of Effective Employees
That’s been an idea worth playing with. Have a fab week.
