Multiple intelligences

According to psychologist Howard Gardner, people have seven different types of intelligences, some people are good at some things; other people are good at others. Not all people are good at all things. A person with a logical-mathematical intelligence can solve math problems easily, and someone with good musical intelligence can play on instrument well. For example, Mozart’s musical intelligence was amazing. His first work was at the age of five, and his first opera at the age of fourteen. Albert Einstein was a brilliant mathematician, but his interpersonal intelligence wasn’t very good. Einstein wasn’t very sociable, and wasn’t very good with people.

Let’s look t variety of intelligences of some famous people in history; napoleon was a great general and strategist. Sigmund Freud had good linguistic intelligence, and he was good with people. Winston Churchill wasn’t a very good student at school, but he was a political genius. He was one of Britain’s greatest prime ministers. Churchill was also a newspaper reporter, and a very good painter. Thomas Edison wasn’t a scientist, but he was a great inventor with lots of practical ideas. Some of his inventions were the photograph, the electric light bulb, and the movie camera. Leonardo da Vinci is a good example of different types of intelligences. Leonardo was a painter, a sculptor, a designer, an architect, a scientist, on engineer, an inventor, all in one.
