2. Theory of Multiple Intelligence
This theory, "we are all able to know the world through
language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial
representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to
solve problems or to make things, an understanding of
other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves.
Where individuals differ is in the strength of these
intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and
in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and
combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse
problems, and progress in various domains." (Smith M.
2008)
