The 8 Types Of Intelligence

Do you know that there are more types of intelligence than IQ and EQ? In 1983, in a book entitled Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Howard Gardner proposed that there are 8 types of intelligence.
The 8 types of intelligence according to Gardner includes - musical-rhythmic, spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. In 1999, Gardner added spiritual intelligence to his original 7 (Naturalistic was added in 1995) and added teaching-pedagogical intelligence in 2016.
What does these different intelligence mean? It means that we cannot simply measure wisdom by how much IQ and EQ level we have, rather Gardner proposes that the theory should “empower learners” so that they are not restricted to one type of learning. So maybe you can’t score 90% in your school test, that’s okay. Maybe your intelligence lie somewhere else. Gardner’s theory is proof it’s possible.

Treat Yourself To Motivate Yourself

Sometimes doing the right thing is hard. Going to the gym or eating healthy food is harder than sitting on the sofa or eating fast food. Doing your studies are harder than playing video games with your friends. In order for you to motivate yourself, use the treatment system. What this means is that once you accomplish doing a task, decide a treat for yourself. For example, if you successfully manage to go to the gym for 4 days a week, treat yourself to a nice lunch at a 5 star restaurant. If you finish your studies, treat yourself to a well-deserve bubble bath. When you decide on treating yourself once you have accomplished a task, you will be more motivated to complete it because your mind will think about the prize that you will get at the end. Creator Academy has a range of courses to support you in building your spirit and strengths – so you can take hold of your life and your future. You deserve to live the best life you can!
