hello and welcome to the English

dialogue podcast where we dive into

intriguing topics to help you master the

English language and expand your

horizons I am Mike and I'm Emma today

we're exploring a fascinating subject

the different types of intelligence

have you ever wondered what kind of

intelligence you possess or how

intelligence can vary from person to

person well stay tuned as we unpack this

topic absolutely Emma intelligence is

often perceived as a single fixed trait

but in reality it's much more diverse to

kick things off let's define what we

mean by

intelligence great idea Mike

intelligence is generally understood as

the ability to learn understand and

apply knowledge to adapt to new

situations however traditional views

often focus on logical and linguistic

abilities like problem solving and

verbal skills but there's more to it

than that exactly the concept of

multiple intelligences was introduced by

psychologist Howard Gardner in

1983 he proposed that intelligence is

not a single entity but a combination of

various distinct types this theory has

been influential in education and

personal

development right Gardner originally

identified seven types of

intelligence and later added an eighth

and even considered a ninth let's go

through them one by one first up is

linguistic

intelligence linguistic intelligence

involves a strong command of language

both written and spoken people with high

linguistic intelligence are often

excellent writers poets journalists or

effective public speakers they have a

knack for using words to express

themselves clearly and

creatively next is logical mathematical

intelligence this type is characterized

by the ability to think logically reason

deductively and solve mathematical

problems scientists mathematicians and

Engineers typically exhibit strong

logical mathem itical

intelligence then we have spatial

intelligence which is the ability to

think in three

dimensions individuals with high spatial

intelligence are often good at

visualizing and manipulating objects in

their mind Architects artists and

graphic designers usually possess this

type of intelligence bodily kinesthetic

intelligence is another type it refers

to the ability to use one's body

effectively to solve problems or create

products dancers athletes surgeons and

crafts people often have high bodily

kinesthetic

intelligence moving on to musical

intelligence this involves sensitivity

to Rhythm pitch Melody and tone

musicians composers and singers

typically display strong musical

intelligence they can recognize and

create musical patterns with ease

interpersonal intelligence is the

ability to understand and interact

effectively with others people with high

interpersonal intelligence are often

good at communicating empathizing and

leading they excel in roles like

teachers counselors and

salespeople interpersonal intelligence

is the capacity to understand oneself

including one's thoughts feelings and

motivations individuals with high

interpersonal intelligence are often

introspective and self-aware they might

be philosophers psychologists or

writers later Gardner added naturalist

intelligence which is the ability to

recognize and categorize plants animals

and other elements of nature this type

of intelligence is common among

biologists conservationists and farmers

and some suggest a ninth type

existential intelligence which involves

pondering deep questions about existence

such as the meaning of life

philosophers and theologians often

exhibit this intelligence now that we've

outlined the types let's discuss how you

can identify which type of intelligence

you might have it's important to

remember that everyone possesses all

types to varying degrees but some are

more dominant than others exactly one

way to identify your dominant

intelligence is to reflect on what

activities you enjoy and Excel at for

instance if you love writing stories or

engaging in debates you might have

strong linguistic intelligence if you

find joy in solving puzzles or

conducting experiments logical

mathematical intelligence might be your

Forte another method is taking multiple

intelligence assessments or quizzes

available online these can provide

insights into your strengths and suggest

areas where you might naturally Excel

additionally seeking feedback from

teachers mentors or colleagues can help

identify your dominant

intelligences let's share some examples

to make this more relatable Emma can you

think of someone you know with high

spatial

intelligence sure Mike my friend Sarah

is an amazing graphic designer she has

an incredible ability to visualize

layouts and create stunning visual

compositions her spatial intelligence

shines through in the way she designs

logos and marketing

materials that's a great example on my

end I know a colleague who is a

fantastic mathematician he loves solving

complex equations and often helps others

understand difficult Concepts his

logical mathematical intelligence is

definitely one of his strengths another

example is my cousin who is a talented

dancer she uses her bodily kinesthetic

intelligence to perform intricate dance

routines

effortlessly her ability to control her

movements and EXP express emotions

through dance is truly

impressive and let's not forget about

musical intelligence I have a friend who

is a brilliant musician she can play

multiple instruments and has a perfect

pitch her understanding of musical

patterns and composition is

exceptional these examples highlight how

diverse intelligence can be and how it

manifests in different ways it's

inter personal intelligence you might

engage in activities that involve

teamwork or leadership let's talk about

education for a moment how can Educators

use the theory of multiple intelligences

to improve teaching

methods great question Educators can

design lessons that cater to different

types of

intelligence for instance a history

lesson could include a written

assignment for linguistic Learners a

timeline activity for logical

mathematical learners and a role playing

exercise for interpersonal Learners this

approach ensures that all students have

the opportunity to engage in ways that

suit their strengths exactly it makes

learning more inclusive and effective by

acknowledging that students have diverse

ways of processing information this can

lead to better academic outcomes and a

more positive learning

environment moreover recognizing

multiple intelligences can help reduce

the stigma around struggling in

traditional academic areas it reinforces
