...Communication and Collaboration Strategy Paper In order for a team to communicate and collaborate effectively it is important to know the learning styles and personality spectrum of the individuals. Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, came up with his theory of Multiple Intelligences. Gardner believes that everyone possesses at least eight intelligences they are the Verbal-Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Visual-Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical and Naturalistic (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Along with the eight intelligences there are also four personality types; Thinker, Organizer, Giver and Adventurer these help identify the interactions that are most and least comfortable for individuals (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Interpersonal intelligences use feelings and sensitivity in their communication with others. The ability to relate to others and work within a team is a strength possessed by this learner. Talking to others to work out solutions and remaining open minded allows for the Interpersonal to be an effective leader in a group. Intrapersonal Intelligences have self-awareness and independence along with the ability to understand their own behavior and feelings (Carter, Bishop & Kravits, 2007). Because of their independence the Intrapersonal would be an effective researcher and journal keeper for the group. Electronic communication would be effective with the Intrapersonal. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligences are...

...Theory of Multiple IntelliGENCE PSY/300 April 9, 2012 Instructor: Angelique Grady In this paper, I will discuss the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Howard Gardner. There are eight intelligences that Howard Gardener indentified, but I will be discussing three of them that would have an impact on my own personal success. Linguistic intelligence which refers to verbal intelligence, iInterpersonal intelligence is being able to appreciate and identify what others require, and iIntrapersonal intelligence refers to one’s self and their abilities (Smith, 2002, 2008). “Intelligence is multifaceted; that is, aspects of it can be expressed in many domains.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p. 271) “We can thus define intelligence as the application of cognitive skills and knowledge to learn, solve problems, and obtain ends that are valued by an individual or cCulture” (see Gardner, 1983, p. ?). “It is also to some extent culturally shaped and culturally defined, since cultural practices support and recognize intellectual qualities that are useful in the social and ecological context.” (Kowalski & Westen, 2011, p.274). Gardner did not believe that there was only one inventory for intelligence. He used many criteria to come up with these eight intelligences. These criteria dealt with damage to the brain, and how a portion of the brain could be affected, but the other portion still worked fine. Another criteria area...

...Communication and Collaboration Strategies Communication and collaboration skills are imperative to his or her success when choose a career. Personal interaction is crucial in every day life situations from co-worker to business clients. At times, this may also include working in groups or teams, which adds a completely new dynamic to the communication and collaboration process. Understanding an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in these areas can provide keys to developing successful life and work relationships. Using Professor Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory as a guide, a person’s intelligence type can be determined. Gardner believes that eight intelligences are possessed by each person (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007). By answering a set of questions, a person can identify how developed each area is and how to utilize their most developed learning styles to benefit them. In order to be successful an individual must utilize effective communication and collaboration strategies when working with individuals who have different learning styles and personalities. Three of these intelligence areas are verbal-linguistic, logical/mathematical, and interpersonal. An individual person who has a highly developed verbal-linguistic learning style is able to communicate effectively through language and understanding. They also excel at teaching others and learning new things. Effective methods for communication and collaboration for these learning styles include...

...“I wonder why my best friend is more intelligent than I?” Some often wonder why others are smarter than them. That is not the case, everyone is relatively different and “…there are many ways to be smart.” (Coon & Mitterer, 2015) Three of the theories used to describe the different levels of intelligence are Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, Environmental intelligence, and Heredity Intelligence. First, according to Howard Gardner of Howard University, there are eight distinctly different kinds of intelligences which are Language (linguistic abilities), Logic and Math (numeric abilities), Visual and spatial (pictorial abilities), Music (musical abilities), Bodily-kinesthetic (physical abilities), Intrapersonal (having and underlying understanding of oneself), Interpersonal (understanding of other people), and Naturalist (ability to understand the natural environment). These intelligences are the different mental “languages” that people use for thinking (Coon & Mitterer, 2015, p. 338) . The drawbacks of this theory are no researches or assessments done to prove this theory. This theory is also contradictory....

Volume 11, Number 9. May 16, 2006. Topic In high school, my psychology briefly explained the theory of the multiple intelligences. We even took a test that should have told us what parts each of us were good at. Ever since, I have strongly believed in this theory and wanted to know more about it. This article had caught my eye and thought it would be very interesting and before even reading it all the way through, I started to make hypothesis of my own about it. In our book, multiple intelligence is explained in chapter 9. Hypothesis and Background Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence states that intelligence is split up into eight independent parts Logical-Mathematical (ability to reason), Linguistic(ability to use words), Musical(ability to perceive and cerate pitch and rhythm), Spatial(ability to navigate and form mental images), Bodily-Kinesthetics(muscle movements), Interpersonal(ability to understand other people), Intrapersonal(ability to understand self), and Naturalist(ability to identify and employ distinctions in the natural world). In the study however, two more intelligences were added to the theory: Spiritual Intelligence (ability to think about cosmic issues) and Existential (the ability to understand life, death, and love). This study was on the effects of gender...

...Internet Activity #10 Howard Gardner initially came up with seven intelligences and grouped them into three categories. He grouped the intelligences as ones that are valued in schools, intelligences associated with the arts, and personal intelligences.

Linguistic intelligence involves spoken and written languages, the ability to learn languages, and the ability to express yourself through the use of language. Poets and lawyers are people Gardner would use as examples of people possessing linguistic intelligence. Logical-mathematical intelligence is like scientific and mathematical thinking.

I told her to watch TV with us, but she said her mom said she couldn’t until she finished her homework. I could tell that she knew the right and wrong thing to do in the situation. Right being finish your homework and wrong being put your homework aside to watch TV. I could also tell that she knew the consequences of what her actions would be, seeing that if she didn’t know, she would just go ahead and watch TV. She knew the negative consequences of not listening to her mom and the positive consequences of listening to her mom. Intelligence In Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence, Blair would be best described as interpersonal intelligence. which is described as “ Understanding, interacting with others. These students learn through interaction. They have many friends, empathy for others, street smarts. They can be taught through group activities, seminars, dialogues.” (Lane, 2014) She enjoys interacting and communicating with others, whether they are peers or adults. When she is at social interactions, she greets people people and likes making new friends and learning new things about people. I can tell that she’s confident, likes socializing and connecting with other people, and sees the good side in everyone. Her strong intelligences are verbal-linguistic: she likes reading, talking...

...ABSTRACT John Donne is acknowledged as the master of metaphysical poetry and is admired for his talent and magnificent wit exercised in his writing. Metaphysical poetry is a special branch of poetry that deals with the pedagogic use of intellect and emotion in a harmonic manner. The basic praxis of metaphysical poetry is to highlight the philosophical view of nature and its ambience concerning human life. Despite criticisms from various corners, Donne and his other companions remained busy with their work to concentrate on metaphysical poetry to portray the feelings and sentiments of human beings by dint of their skillful and artful literary accomplishments. This paper is to address the outstanding performance of John Donne in the arena of metaphysical poetry and it endeavours to make a critical assessment of the diverse issues allembracing metaphysical poetry as well as to establish the relevance of metaphysical poetry in the literary realm. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION ―Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere This bed thy centre is, these walls, thy sphere‖ The Sun Rising: John Donne The startling conversational lines marvellously enumerate the poet‘s intense appeal to spread the beams of sun on the lovers‘ world as a mark of illuminating the macrocosmic world and beckon the readers to enter into a new realm of poetry with a sense of attachment and belonging between different objects of nature...
