A TEORIA DAS INTELIGENCIAS MULTIPLAS foi desenvolvida pelo psicologo americano Howard Gardner. Segundo ele, o cerebro dos homens e mulheres possui oito tipos diferentes de inteligencia.No entanto, segundo a mesma teoria, a maioria das pessoas possui um ou dois tipos de inteligencias mais desenvolvidas que as outras. Isso explica porque uma pessoa pode ser muito boa com calculos matematicos e ter dificuldade com atividades artisticas.A teoria ainda afirma que e praticamente impossivel dizer que uma pessoa e mais inteligente que a outra. Uma crianca que aprende a multiplicar numeros facilmente nao e necessariamente mais inteligente do que outra que tenha habilidades mais forte em outro tipo de inteligencia.Depois de mais alguns anos de pesquisa, Gardner ponderou que existe uma 9a inteligencia que talvez seja importante incluir na lista: a inteligencia existencial.Para voce que gosta de ingles e a cada dia esta aprendendo sempre mais um pouquinho, (parabens viu continue assim porque e assim mesmo "Roma nao foi construida em um so dia") mas com o tempo com certeza voce chegara onde quer, segue aqui o texto em ingles para voce praticar:The Nine Types of IntelligenceBy Howard Gardner1. Naturalist Intelligence (Nature Smart)Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like. 2. Musical Intelligence (Musical Smart)Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.4. Existential IntelligenceSensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart)Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives.
