multiple intelligences
Interesting how all these intelligences are connected in solving problem and can lead one to be successful.
Richard,
You are right on with your comments. I like the expression "It isn't how smart you are but how you are smart". This to me says it all when it comes to how we use our different intelligences to solve problems and be successful.

I believe we all use more than one of our intelligences in different ways, so many of our thinking patterns follow different paths to sometimes similar conclusions.
understanding this in a classroom setting as an instructor has greatly improved my classroom experiences.
It is very interesting. It can also help students understand how they learn and an occupation that would be most useful for them.
Sandra,
Very true. In fact, the IQ metrics are somewhat reliable on specific language skills.
Dr. S. David Vaillancourt
IQ can be increased by learning something new like a language or experiencing something different.
Maria,
It is, indeed, very challenging to instruct toward all (or most) of the intelligences during each learning opportunity. Of course, the more we incorporate these practices into our instruction the better it will be for our students. I am so glad to learn of the confirmation this section provided for you. Thank you for your contribution.
Dr. S. David Vaillancourt
This section was very interesting and reinforces my strong belive that we must always come well prepared for all different challenges. These would arrice due to the seven intelligences that our students are gifted with. This can be very challanging but at the same time very rewarding.
Zafar,
Yes, leveraging them with each other can often provide more robust solutions.
