What is meant by Multiple Intelligences? Take the Multiple Intelligence Inventory and determine which intelligences you score “high” on and which you score “low” on.  Are the results consistent with your perception of yourself?  Why or why not?

Multiple intelligences is a theory of intelligence that suggests that everyone has several strengths and abilities, rather than just one type of intelligence. The concept was first proposed by developmental psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983 (Bruning & Schraw, 2011). According to Gardner, there are eight distinct forms of intelligence:
Logical-mathematical: applies logical reasoning to solve problems; proficient at numeric calculations and abstract thinking
Verbal-linguistic: uses language effectively; strong reading comprehension skills
Musical-rhythmic: sensitive to pitch, rhythm, melody; plays an instrument well
Spatial-visualization: adept at recognizing patterns in visual information; good sense for direction or design
Body-kinesthetic: able to move the body gracefully or with control; good hand-eye coordination
Interpersonal: understands social dynamics between people; communicates effectively with others
Intrapersonal: self aware and understands motivations behind own behavior Naturalistic : perceives environment accurately and recognizes similarities among objects found outdoors (Gardner. 1993).
