3. The theory of multiple
intelligences is Howard Gardner’s
theory that proposes that people
are not born with all of the
intelligence they will ever have. It
says that intelligence can be
learned throughout life. Also, it
claims that everyone is intelligent
in at least seven different ways
and can develop each aspect of
4. The 7 intelligences included in Gardner’s theory are:
*Verbal/ Linguistic
*Visual/ Spatial
*Interpersonal
*Musical/ Rhythmic
*Logical/ Mathematical
*Intrapersonal
*Bodily/ Kinesthetic
5. There are 8 Criteria for Defining Multiple
Intelligences:
*Each of the intelligences can potentially be isolated by brain
damage.
*Each of the intelligences exists in exceptional people (savants or
prodigies).
*Each of the intelligences has a process of developing during
normal child development and has a peak end-state
performance.
*Each of the intelligences is evidenced in species other than
human beings.
*Each of the intelligences has been tested using various measures
not necessarily associated with intelligence.
*Each of the intelligences can work without the others being
present.
*Each of the intelligences has a set of identifiable operations.
*Each of the intelligences can be symbolized or has its own
unique symbol or set of symbols.
6. The theory of multiple intelligences
has encouraged the idea that a
person is not born with all the
intelligence they will ever possess.

ability to perceive and interpret visual
stimuli. In other words, it’s how our

20. Why is spatial intelligence
important?
The way that we visually perceive and
interpret the world around us is an
important quality to have. In the arts, the
ability to transfer a vision to a painting,
sculpture, or film is a key quality. Careers
such as architecture, require a person to
transfer a vision of a structure into a
blueprint. Spatial intelligence is even used
by average people to remember small, but
important facts; like how to travel from
your school to your house. Everyone uses
spatial intelligence in everyday life.
