4. THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE
General intelligence
Primary mental abilities
Multiple intelligence
Triarchic theory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwMY7cbKU3c
5. • British psychologist Charles Spearman
(1863–1945) described a concept he
referred to as general intelligence or the g
factor.
• He concluded that intelligence is general
cognitive ability that could be measured
and numerically expressed.
GENERAL INTELLIGENCE:
6. • Psychologist Louis L. Thurstone (1887–1955)
offered a differing theory of intelligence. Instead
of viewing intelligence as a single, general
ability, Thurstone's theory focused on seven
different "primary mental abilities." The abilities
that he described were:
• Verbal comprehension – Reasoning - Perceptual
speed - Numerical ability - Word fluency -
Associative memory - Spatial visualization
PRIMARY MENTAL ABILITIES:
7. • One of the more recent ideas to emerge is
Howard Gardner's theory of multiple
intelligences.
• The eight intelligences Gardner described
are:
Visual-spatial Intelligence - Verbal-linguistic
Intelligence - Bodily-kinesthetic Intelligence -
Logical-mathematical Intelligence - Interpersonal
Intelligence - Musical Intelligence - Intrapersonal
Intelligence - Naturalistic Intelligence
MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE:
8. • Psychologist Robert Sternberg defined
intelligence as "mental activity directed toward
purposive adaptation to, selection and shaping
of, real-world environments relevant to one's life.
Sternberg proposed what he referred to as
"successful intelligence" involving three different
factors:
• Analytical intelligence: This component refers to
problem-solving abilities.
• Creative intelligence: This aspect of intelligence
involves the capacity to deal with new situations
using past experiences and current skills.
• Practical intelligence: This element refers to the
ability to adapt to a changing environment.
TRIARCHIC THEORY:
10. 1- NATURALIST INTELLIGENCE
• How we relate to our surroundings and where we fit into it.
People with Naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and
appreciation for nature. They are gifted at nurturing and
growing things as well as the ability to care for and interact
with animals. They can easily distinguish patterns in nature.

• Enjoys gardening
• Appreciates scenic places
• Feels alive when in contact with nature
• Likes to camp, hike, walk and climb
• Notices nature above all other things

12. 2- MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE
People with musical intelligence love music.
They appreciate rhythm and composition.
They are gifted with the ability to compose,
sing and/or play instrument(s). Able to
recognize sounds, tones and rhythm, they
have a "good ear" for music. They learn best
through lectures and often use rhythm and
music as a way to memorize things.

13. CAREER MATCHES
• Musician
• Singer
• Conductor
• Composer
• Songwriter
• Music Teacher
• Music Director
• Choir Director
• Record Producer
15. 3- LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE
• Logical-mathematical intelligence consists of the capacity to
carry out ( mathematical operations, analyse problems logically,
and investigate issues scientifically). This intelligence is most
often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking. It
uses numbers, math and logic to find and understand the
various patterns that occur in our lives: number patterns, visual
patterns, thought patterns, color patters and the list goes on.
Example:
(Albert Einstein)
16. SKILLS
• Conducting experiments
• Solving puzzles
• Asking cosmic questions
• Analyse circumstances and peoples behaviour
• Working with numbers and formulas
• Creating Codes
• Classifications and categorizations
• Mathematical problems on the board
17. • Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep
questions about human existence,
such as the meaning of life, why we
die, and how did we get here.
4- EXISTENTIAL INTELLIGENCE
Example:
(Socrates)
18. • 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.
5- INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
Example:
(Oprah Winfrey)
19. 6- BODILY-KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE
Example:
(Auguste Rodin)
• Body-smart learners are action-oriented people who love to move and
are very engaged with their bodies. They tend to have excellent hand-
eye coordination and balance, and ideally learn by
physically doing something. This means that hands-on learning activities
make a significant impact on their ability to learn and retain new
information and/or skills
20. Types of body
smart
Muscle memory
a form of procedural
memory that involves
consolidating a specific motor
task into memory
through repetition.
Motor learning
It is a change, resulting from
practice or a novel experience,
in the capability for responding
Psychomotor
memory
the relationship between
cognitive functions and physical
movement.
21. 7- LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE
• Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence (“word smart”) is an intelligence which involves the
knowing of language; through reading, writing, and speaking.
• It involves understanding the order and meaning of words in both speech and
writing and how to properly use the language

Example:
(Robert Frost)
22. 8- INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE
• What is intra-personal smart?
Interpersonal communication is an exchange of information
between two or more people. It is also an area of study and
research that seeks to understand how humans use verbal and
nonverbal cues to accomplish a number of personal and relational
goals.
Example:
(Mahatma Gandhi)
24. • People who are visual-spatial are sometimes called Art Smart although
they aren't always artistic in the traditional sense. Visual-spatial
individuals tend to think in visual images and learn best when material
is presented through pictures, charts, diagrams, and graphic organizers.
They often enjoy drawing and designing, using color or shapes in
pleasing ways, or arranging objects. They usually have a good sense of
direction and can read maps easily
9- VISUAL-SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE
Example:
(Leonardo da Vinci)
25. SKILLS:
• Be very aware of their surroundings
• Remember information by creating visual pictures
• Be artistic
• Be skilled at solving visual puzzles
• Be skilled at remembering and interpreting visual information
26. • interior design or engineer
• Photographer
