What makes a person intelligent?

In traditional theories of intelligence, if the question "What makes a person intelligent?" The most common responses often noted that a person's ability to solve problems using logic necessary, and to think critically. These characteristics of intelligence are sometimes grouped under the name of intelligence before. " a person's intelligence, traditionally speaking, is contained in their intellect. Rate In other words, as we understand, orrespond to external stimuli, whether it is a mathematical problem or anticipation of the next train to an opponent in a game that is our collective intelligence. Our intelligence is, therefore, our individual and collective capacity to act or react in a changing environment.

The main problem is that traditional theories of intelligence "to promote learning broken. Many educational reformers have clearly stated that" only show in teststhat a student is being tested as "qualified. At best, traditional tests focus on only about one tenth of the individual mind. Please note that Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, two of the most famous examples of history's of brilliant minds that were terribly under traditional tests so terrible "school" in general. multiple intelligences theory shows that if the ability to take traditional tests almost exclusively in the field of logic -Mathematically
Intelligence. This intelligence is interpersonal intelligence later together with some students the ability to guess a teacher, the detailed structure of a test. Traditional IQ tests predict school performance with great precision, but only a predictor of indifferent performance in a profession after formal schooling.

In an interesting study, but questionable conduct in 1960 by biologist Marion DiamondUniversity of California at Berkeley, two groups of rats were raised in different environments: one was set to play with toys, romp, with playmates, and a box spacious, clean and fresh. The second set was placed in isolation, alone in a cage much smaller, with no toys to enjoy. After several weeks, as measured by the size of the diamond of rat cerebral cortex, the brain, which has department is responsible for more than nervous. The mice in the sociable, clean andstimulating environment grew larger brains that mice, the poor with the environment. "The enriched environment increased brain size, not the impoverished environment, you reduce the size of the brain?" Asked Diamond. "The answer is clearly yes." Similar results were obtained with cats, monkeys, and then replicated with humans. So stimulating, enriched learning environment essential for mental development. IfStudents take the different intelligences in our teaching, our success as our success as students, is significantly improved. That each of us has all the intelligences, each of them is even more so that these multiple intelligences together in a complex way, and in fact many different ways to be smart in a study, including Armstrong. Here, briefly, in retrospect, there are eight major intelligences of Howardgardener theory and its properties relating to:

The verbal-linguistic intelligence:
The ability to use words effectively, orally or in writing. It 'very developed storytellers, orators, politicians, poets, playwrights, editors, language teachers and journalists. that students with a high degree of intelligence in these words, learning to verbalize through listening, reading and. They enjoy writing, books, records, tapes and and have a good memory for lines, or texttrivia. tell first discussions, jokes and discuss, are characteristic of this intelligence. Maya Angelou is strong in this intelligence.

visual-spatial intelligence:
The ability to perceive the world accurately and transformation results for their perceptions. This is very developed guides, interior designers, architects, artists, designers and inventors. Students with a high degree of spatial intelligence think in pictures and photographs, as labyrinthsand puzzles. They like to draw and design things, and enjoy films, slides, video, graphics, maps, diagrams. The dreamer and those with strong opinions on things like the colors that can go together, the textures that are appropriate and attractive decoration and have this intelligence. Pablo Picasso was strong in the intelligence.

music recognition - Rhythmic Intelligence: the ability to discriminate, transform and express musical forms is verydeveloped in the music artists, music lovers and music critics. student learning with a high degree of musical intelligence through rhythm and melody, playing a musical instrument, or must be to study music. You remember, learn non-verbal sounds for the environment: the chirping of a cricket, rain on the roof, different traffic patterns, and usually, things more easily if sung, out, knocked or whistles. These people love music and rhythm patterns and can often reproduce a melody or a rhythm patternAfter listening once. various sounds, tones and rhythms can make a visible effect on them (ie, you can see a change of facial expression, body movements or emotional reactions). It has to imitate the singing and listening to a variety of music, and are often performed very solid, language accents, and other patterns of speech, and recognition of various musical instruments in a composition. Paul McCartney is strong in this intelligence.

Logical-mathematicalIntelligence:
The ability to use numbers effectively and well based. This intelligence is highly developed in mathematicians, accountants, statisticians, scientists, programmers and logical. Students with a high degree of intelligence so often things clearly and logically, look abstract patterns and relationships, often as puzzles, logic puzzles and strategy games. You can also use the computer and classified and. Categorize these people think conceptually and abstractly and are able to model and reports, see others that is often missing. You like to experiment, solve puzzles and have other problems, ask questions and think about the cosmos. They love the challenge of solving complex problems and always have a rationale or argument for what they do or think. Albert Einstein was strong in intelligence.

Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence: Consists of expertise in dealing with the wholeexpress the body, thoughts and feelings, and to produce in complex with the help of hands or transform things. A highly developed intelligence actors, mimes, athletes, dancers, sculptors, mechanics and surgeons. Students with a high degree of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence process knowledge through the sensations of the body move, twitch, tap, or agitated while sitting on a chair or on a desk and learn by touching, handling and movement. In general, such as role playing and creative movement and generallylike physical games of any kind, and shows how to do something. They also communicate through body language and other physical gestures. Often you can perform a task only after someone else do it. Find it difficult to sit still for a long time and get bored easily if they are not actively involved in events around them. Michael Jordan is strong in this intelligence.

Interpersonal Intelligence:
The ability to perceive and make distinctions in the moods,Intentions, motivations and feelings of others. This intelligence can include sensitivity toward facial expressions, voice and gestures, and the ability to respond effectively to such information. understand students with a high degree of interpersonal intelligence and care of people, to learn how to make contacts more easily through and beyond the release and are in good teaching other students. These individuals learn through interaction from person to person. They have lots of friends showempathy for others and understanding different points of view. You are in another drawing, in a discussion, conflict resolution and mediation, where people are labeled as radical
The opposition to one another. Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi were strong in this intelligence.

Intra-personal Intelligence
Self-knowledge and the ability to act adaptively on the basis of this knowledge, this group is defined. It is an intelligence that may have aaccurate picture of their strengths and limitations, awareness of their feelings and motivations, and capacity for self-discipline. Students with a high degree of intelligence that Appear to be motivated Themselves and Their own need quiet space, the rhythm of a different drummer and March are generally easier to learn by independent study, teaching self-pace, individual projects and games.
These people like to work alone and sometimes shy away from others. They areself-reflective and self-awareness and therefore tend, in accordance with their inner feelings, values, beliefs and thought processes. They are common carriers of wisdom and creative vision are very intuitive, and are inwardly motivated rather than relying on external rewards support. Often they are confident of strong will, and certainly well-considered opinions on any subject (even if sometimes off-the-wall). Other people who often come to them for advice andRath, but others sometimes see them as remote and strange. Emily Dickinson and Stephen King are examples of this intelligence.

Naturalist Intelligence:
knowledge of and ability to identify and classify plants, animals and nature, based on this knowledge. The naturalist intelligence include an accurate picture of the context, the awareness of the interrelationships of the natural elements and the ability to self-analysis of theseElements. Archaeologists found in many developed countries, animal handlers, animal trainers, veterinarians, biologists, horse racing jockeys, zoologists, ecologists, wildlife guide and naturalist. are students that seem natural for a high level of intelligence of the naturalist, try, outdoors or in entirety and learn more easily study nature and environmentally related activities and projects. They like to collect objects from nature, study, and group them.They tend to be aware of the subtleties can apparently not the texture and sounds that are weaker in this intelligence believe it. Charles Darwin, Jacques Cousteau and John James Audubon was strong in the intelligence.

One of the great promises of the theory of multiple intelligences in education is helping us and our individual paths students heads. Recent advances in educational psychology and research in applied theory educators MI offer a real possibilitydevelop the potential of all students. Both teachers and students should derive from Gardner's multiple intelligence theory that all people are different and learn differently, and that we should respect, promote and enhance this diversity.
