Multiple Personalities

Howard Gardner came up with the expression multiple intelligences as a result of his research learning about human potential (Strasser & Sepeocha, 2005). “Gardener defines intelligence as the ability to solve problems or to create problems, that are valued within one or more cultural settings” (Strasser & Seplocha, 2005, p.20-24). When you are describing what the multiple intelligence theory means, we are discussing about everyone and how people have a wide range of capacities with oneself (Strasser & Sepeocha, 2005).

Gardners idea of intelligence is a projection of compiled wisdom about the anthropomorphic brain and about their culture and not the byproduct of a previous explanation or of component breakdown of test scores. It becomes vital that his ways that explore the intelligence completely instead of through the sight of linguistic or logical intelligence (Gardner, 1995).

Intelligent tests measure our academic abilities and how smart we are at the books. There is another side to intelligence, and measuring it. There is another form of applied intelligence, and it is defined as an individual who can put her own plans into action. Another form of intelligences is emotional intelligence and is it defined as the ability to read a person’s emotions and use one’s own emotional responses according to their surroundings, and the responses or message the other person has given to him (Kowalski & Western, 2009).

People may have more than one form of intelligences within them. This is why each person is considered different, and responds to responses and situations in his own way whether negative or positive.

“Gardners views intelligence as “an ability or set of abilities that is used to solve problems or fashion products that are of consequence in a particular cultural setting” (Kowalski & Western, 2009, p. 289).
