Description
Intelligence is, according to Howard Gardner, the capacity that each of us has to solve everyday problems or to offer services within our own field. For him, it is a skill that, in part, is genetically determined, but which can also be developed. Our abilities can be enhanced in one way or another depending on our environment, our experiences, the education we have received, and so on. You will find out by means of the multiple intelligences test.
From here Howard Gardner developed his famous theory and test of Multiple Intelligences. This theory explains that we do not have a single mental capacity, but several, specifically eight:
- Linguistic Intelligence
- Logical – Mathematical Intelligence
- Visual – Spatial Intelligence
- Kinesthetic or Corporal-Kinesthetic Intelligence
- Musical Intelligence
- Interpersonal Intelligence
- Intrapersonal Intelligence
- Naturalistic Intelligence
Each person possesses a different amount or degree of each of these intelligences, but the way in which they combine or mix them generates multiple individualized forms of intelligent behavior, something similar to what happens with the combination of facial features that give rise to individual faces. Gardner proposes that each person stabilizes ways of blending these intelligences, acquiring a very personal idiosyncrasy (something like a personality in the cognitive sphere).
