Multiple Intelligences Theory was developed by Howard Gardner, a Harvard psychologist and former student of Erik Erikson. Gardner's theory, which has been refined for more than 30 years, is a more recent development among theories of intelligence. In Gardner's theory, each person possesses at least eight intelligences. Among these eight intelligences, a person typically excels in some and falters in others (Gardner, 1983).After looking over these different types of intelligences, share the following information:
1. Which intelligence type(s) stands out as most prominent in your life?
2. Share an example of how one of your specific intelligences has help you in some aspect of your life.
3. Does your intelligence type connect to your future career field?
