Explore and develop your nine multiple intelligences—music, visual, linguistic, logical-mathematical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, and existential—guided by Gardner's foundations, to understand your strengths, preferences, and career potential.
Explore intrapersonal intelligence as the knowledge of your internal self, your emotions, and how labeling them guides self-management, self-reflection, and personal growth.
Define musical intelligence as a universal, brain-embedded faculty and versatile symbolic system, with right-hemisphere regions contributing to rhythm, mood, and sounds learned through singing, instruments, and memory.
Understand spatial intelligence, or visual thinking, and how people visualize in 3-D, draw, remember images, and map routes using color and layout.
Develop intrapersonal intelligence by cultivating self-awareness through journaling, meditation, goal setting, self-tests, and daily reflection, while pursuing personal growth activities and self-esteem practices.
Compare crystallizing and paralyzing experiences from childhood turning points to lifelong learning in multiple intelligences. Learn how irrelevant curricula and fear hinder growth, while warm, respectful environments spark curiosity.
Every individual possesses each of Gardner’s multiple intelligences:
Each of the nine intelligences will be investigated, discussed and correlated with effective means to understand, explore and even develop each one. Additional, specific methodologies will be shared.
Individuals will gain an understanding of themselves as individuals in relation to the multiple intelligences, identifying preferred intelligences and less preferred intelligences. Other topics explored include: introducing IQ, awakening intelligences, strengthening weaker, non-preferred intelligences and using intelligences within learning environments, relationship and even career development.
