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 works? http://www.businessballs.com/howardg...elligences.htm

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 training sessions. None of us have utilized 100% because of various limiting factors.

Challenges in Implementing Theories

All that glitters is not gold. In the initial stage, everything seems to be interesting, but as we delve deeper, challenges pop up. Similarly, most of the proposed theories sound fascinating, but in reality, they are not. We human beings are blessed with multiple skills, and it is left to individuals to explore and utilize them to their fullest extent. Various theories are in practice (to some extent) by humans, but we do not know much about them unless someone has come up with a framework like what Howard Gardner did.

Seven Multiple Intelligences

For example, the seven multiple intelligences listed below are a part of most training programs 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

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

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

With profound regards,

Nice to know that you already use MI actively. I suggest giving your feedback/experiences in this thread—since CiteHR is more about sharing one's experiences with all the members of this forum along with solving/resolving an individual member's problems/situations. That would, in a way, also expand your readership base.

Dear Lighthouse, the contact process from your website didn't work for me. I join Sateesh in requesting you to share a case where you implemented this concept. Please keep the name and the identity of the candidates private. We wish to know how it worked for them and what challenges you faced while implementing it.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
