Howard Gardner: Multiple Intelligence

Greeting,
I always found Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theory pretty fascinating. Has anyone ever tried using it in their training modules ? I am curious. Is this how a Polymath's brain worked ?

Dear (Cite Contribution),

I had studied Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theory and found that, it is already in use in many places like play schools, colleges and in most of the training sessions. None of us have utilized 100% because of various limiting factors.

All glitters are not gold. In the initial stage, everything seems to be interesting, as we dwell down, challenges pop up. In similar way, most of the theories proposed sounds pretty fascinating but in reality, it is not. We human beings are blessed with Multiple skills and its left to individuals to what extent they are exploring and utilizing it. Various theories are in practice(to some extent) by humans but, we don't know much about them unless someone had come up with the frame work like what Howard Gardener did.

For example, these seven multiple intelligence listed below is a part of most of the training programmes practiced by trainers and trainees as well.

Linguistic : words and language,

Logical-Mathematical : logic and numbers

Musical : music, sound, rhythm

Bodily-Kinesthetic : body movement control

Spatial-Visual : images and space

Interpersonal : other people's feelings

Intrapersonal : self-awareness

VAK Model is the most popular modular used by trainers and it has contributed to a greater extent towards the successful delivery.

I wish to hear from other members(trainers especially) too about its utilization.

With profound regards
