Assignment #15: Multiple Intelligence Essay

After learning about Gardner’s multiples intelligences I came to a consensus that I have more unique traits that I never knew I had. His list from top to bottom taught me about my self then any year of my life.
One teaching or intelligence I discovered I was an intrapersonal. I learned that I have a lot of self smarts and that I learn better from working by myself rather than when im in a group. I learned that my main energy and spirit is controlled by my own self intelligence than from an outside source. I believe, this intelligence, is where I get all of my self confidence and self worth from. However intrapersonal intelligences are only one of the many intelligences I have. I’m also very influenced with interpersonal mtelligence, where I learn well with others. I think I have this intelligence because of the fact that I’m a complete people person. I love to work in an environment where I can relate to and interact with people that I do work with. I believe iam a more productive and efficient when iaqm working with a group of people that I enjoy being around, but yet on the other hand, I think I work less efficiently with people I cant or do not relate to.
I’ve also discovered that iam equally influenced by spatial, linguistic and existential intelligence. I believe im spatial because of the fact that im a believer before a judger. I think and feel when something is or is not true. I think aim linguistic simply because I love to write, speak and debate in simple words, I have racing mind, mouth and spirit. I believe iam existential because I use my senses to work out everything in my life, I use my sight then touch, sound, smell and then finally my ability to taste if need be. I believe those are my highest most valid influences of intelligences I contain and posses.
Howard Gardner has taught me a lot about myself. I’ve explored my mind in a whole new way. I’ve learned why im intelligent, where my intelligence is and where it is strongest and weakest. Most importantly I’ve learned who I am and now it’s broadened my way of thinking and has influenced my future.
