as small as a world and as large as alone

Another way to present the 9 types of intelligence as exemplified by my How Do We Measure Intelligence post.

The basic idea is that different people are good at different things. These 9 probably don’t cover the wide range of smarts we all possess, but it’s a start.

As Albert Einstein said, ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

This model definitely has its limits, but dividing ways of thinking and learning up like that does make a lot more sense. With assessments before, I have come out high on musical and naturalistic styles.

I have come out high on intrapersonal, naturalistic, musical, and bodily-kinesthetic at various times.  I think bodily-kinesthetic is the one that ties everything together for me.
