[Music] [Applause] [Music] theory of multiple intelligence harvard professor howard gardner introduced a world to his theory of multiple intelligence in his 1983 book frames of mind simply put the idea is that one's intellectual intelligence or iq doesn't tell the complete story about someone's full range of potential therefore gardner proposed nine types of intelligence to more accurately measure a broader range of human strengths and abilities gardner's types of intelligence are in line with what most of us have been brought up to believe that we are all special because we all have different strengths and interests let's take a look at gardner's original seven types of intelligence plus two more that he's added over the years by examining the definitions and characteristics of

criticism of the theory of multiple intelligence some have criticized the theory of multiple intelligences as nothing more than a list of skills and abilities perhaps talents would have been a better way for gartner to describe his list than types of intelligence because it describes what people are drawn to and excel and easily this talent in no way dictates what people should do for a living instead thinking you are strong in one intelligence may limit the effort you put into other areas carol dweck's growth mindset theory in her book mince it the new psychology of success states that when we look at skills and abilities as changeable through hard work and practice we're able to change those abilities this is called a growth mindset however when we think that our skills and abilities are innate it is less likely that we can improve gartner's theory of multiple intelligences runs the risk of tricking us into thinking our skills and abilities are inborn and that effort and dedication won't have much of an impact which is untrue the theory of multiple intelligences should be approached more like neil fleming's theory of learning styles fleming proposed that people have different styles of learning or ways that they are better able to learn reading writing kinesthetic oral and visual the problem with the theory of learning styles and with types of intelligence is that there's not much empirical evidence to show that your learning style or type of intelligence impacts how you learn in short just because i'm drawn to nature and good at building campfires it doesn't mean that's how i learn best think talent more than intelligence and i think you'll be better able to appreciate gardner's theory for what it [Music] is
