The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and provides examples of activities to identify students' dominant intelligences. It defines the eight types of intelligence - linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Students complete a test to determine their top intelligences and the document outlines ways teachers can adapt classroom activities to engage different intelligences.

1. Teen Psychology Lic. Gonzalo Camp

4. Naturalist Intelligence This deals with the ability to make distinctions in the natural world and the environment. Some students show a lot of interest in animals and nature.

5. Interpersonal Intelligence People may also show the ability to empathise with and understand others. This intelligence involves the use of social and good communication skills with others.

6. Intrapersonal Intelligence There is a focus on self-knowledge and self-control as well as being on one’s one and daydreaming. This intelligence deals with the ability to reflect, analyse, and contemplate problems independently.

7. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence This intelligence requires the ability to look for patterns, reason, and think in a logical manner. These people use few words to express broad ideas with sharp clarity.

8. Musical Intelligence This intelligence gives a person the ability to make and compose music, sing, and use rhythm to learn. It involves understanding and expressing oneself through music and rhythmic movements or dance, or composing, playing, or conducting music.

9. Activity 10: Imagine yourself...

10. Spatial Intelligence Involves visual perception of the environment, the ability to create and manipulate mental images. They have a strong visual memory and are often artistically inclined.

11. Bodily-Kinaesthetic Intelligence This area has to do with movement and doing. In this category, people are generally adept at physical activities such as sports or dance and often prefer activities which involve movement. They often learn best by physically doing something, rather than reading or hearing about it.

12. Linguistic Intelligence They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching, and oration or persuasive speaking. It has to do with words, spoken or written. People with this intelligence display a facility with words and languages.
