This document discusses several theories of intelligence: - Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which identifies eight types of intelligence including linguistic, logical/mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. - Spearman's two factor theory which distinguishes between general intelligence (g) and specific abilities (s). It also discusses crystallized and fluid intelligence. - Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence which defines intelligence as the ability to succeed based on one's goals through analytical, creative, and practical abilities. - Intelligence is also commonly measured as IQ using standardized tests, but IQ is only a snapshot and multiple factors can influence scores.

4. Linguistic –Using words to describe and communicate ideas EX: Shakespeare and Taylor SwiftLogical/Mathematical- reasoning, perceiving patterns in numbers, using numbers effectively EX: Bill GatesSpatial- accurately perceiving and transforming the visual-spatial world EX: LeBron JamesBodily-Kinesthetic- having expertise in using one’s body EX: Isadora Duncan, LeBron JamesMusical- recognizing components of music, expressing musical forms, and using music to express ideas EX: Beethoven and Taylor SwiftInterpersonal- accurately perceiving and appropriately responding to the emotions of other people EX: Tim Walker, school counselor Intrapersonal- introspection, discriminating one’s emotions and perceptions, and knowing one’s strength’s and limitations EX: President Monson Naturalistic- recognizing and classifying living things, sensitivity to features of the natural world EX: Crocodile Hunter (Ana’s Dad), environmentalistGardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences

5. Two Factor Theory of IntelligenceSpearman’s theory talks about general (g) and specific (s) intelligencesG = overall ability to perform a variety of tasksGeneral crystallized intelligence: overall knowledge base resulting from formal and informal education (individual’s pool of knowledge or facts)General fluid intelligence: abilities that allow us to reason, think, and learn new things (potential for learning) S = refers to specific skills such as vocabulary and mathematical skills

6. Sternberg’s Theory of Successful IntelligenceConsiders intelligence to be a person’s ability to succeed in life: success is defined according to an individual’s personal goals. Successful intelligence comes about by balancing strengths and weaknesses in the following abilities: Analytical Creative Practical

8. Intelligence Measured as IQ Intelligence Quotient (IQ)- score derived from several different standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. IQ scores are used in many contexts: as predictors of educational achievement or special needs. Average range is 85-115 Individually Administered IQ testsGroup Administered IQ testsFlynn Effect- phenomenon in which IQ scores have increased over successive generations throughout the world. WHY???
