So, what are these nine kinds of intelligence, and how can you help yourself and your children find superior intelligence and talent?
As early as 1983, Dr. Howard gardner, a psychologist at Harvard University, opposed the traditional simple and rude method of evaluating IQ by IQ test. Gardner found the difference of learning ability of patients with traumatic brain injury, thought that everyone has a unique intelligence combination system, and put forward the widely recognized theory of multiple intelligences. After several theoretical iterations, the theory of multiple intelligences has gradually developed into nine intelligent theories.
These nine kinds of intelligence can be divided into three categories, namely:
IQ: Language intelligence; Logical mathematical intelligence; Spatial intelligence; Natural exploration intelligence;
Emotional quotient (EQ): musical intelligence; Interpersonal intelligence; Introspective intelligence; Have intelligence;
MQ: limb operation intelligence;
The theory of multiple intelligences holds that while developing students' intelligence in all aspects, schools should pay attention to students' outstanding intelligence in some aspects and guide them effectively; When we can't catch up with the progress in other aspects, we should guide students to use their own advantages to study, rather than let them be punished. However, in the actual school education, due to the large number of students and insufficient attention from teachers, it is difficult to observe every student carefully. So it is very important for parents to observe and record in their daily life.
Then, what is the specific performance of each intelligence, and how to conduct self-evaluation and self-test for children aged 3- 10? This article takes you to analyze one by one. It should be noted that the age span of 3- 10 is large, and some indicators are only applicable to children aged 6- 10 or 8- 10. For details, please contact us by private letter.
Chinese intelligence/language ability: good at listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Mathematical and logical intelligence: knowing numbers, calculating and measuring, and reasoning about causality.
Spatial intelligence: debating directions, walking mazes, playing puzzles, drawing and designing.
Natural exploration intelligence: understand animals and plants, distinguish and classify, and know maps.
Musical intelligence: distinguish tones, appreciate musical styles and beats.
Interpersonal intelligence: understanding and caring for others, division of labor, cooperation and communication
Introspective intelligence: self-reflection, self-knowledge, self-management and solitude.
Body movement intelligence: touch, organize, perform and operate.
Existential intelligence is a relatively difficult type of intelligence, which is not suitable for children aged 3- 10. Existential intelligence refers to a person's ability to use collective values and intuition to understand others and the world around him. People with higher intelligence can usually see the overall situation and be good at thinking about "why people live" and "why people die". This kind of intelligence exists widely among philosophers and thinkers, but it is a rare intelligence in real life. But like other intelligences, it is developed through purposeful training.
To sum up, among the types of intelligence mentioned above, intelligence related to IQ, such as logical mathematics intelligence and natural exploration intelligence, is difficult to observe and needs to be displayed and observed through teaching activities and learning process. The first teachers of mathematical thinking and scientific thinking are also responsible for teaching and identifying students. Therefore, how to design enlightenment from the perspective of thinking development has become a challenge for parents and teachers. Follow-up articles will continue to introduce the methods to stimulate the above intelligence, so that readers can conduct self-test or parents can monitor their children, understand themselves scientifically and give full play to their specialties.
