very interesting insight

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024

The idea of multiple intelligence is incredible! Reading it, I was able to see my giftedness is mathematical-logical. I also realized to be successful, people triangulate through their top three or so intelligences. Just one alone isn’t enough to be successful in the world. And knowing the intelligences, you can look at individuals and see the ones they’re good at and triangulated through.

Having said that, it’s an extremely dull read. Wish he would re-write the book for mass consumption. 20% of the book has the value. I’m going to see his other books and see if he’s written one focused just on understanding the intelligences better rather than all this other stuff that’s in this book. I just want to go deep on the intelligences, and get a better understanding of them.

I bought this based on Robert Greene recommendation.

I bought this book trying to expand my knowledge. But wow this book is hard to keep on with. I am trying though. This book is worth a read if you're ready for a challenge on your vocabulary. It is more difficult than the 48laws of power.

Intelligence: the other approach

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2015

This book describes the theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) and was written in 1983 by its developer: Howard Gardner. According to him, there is no such concept as 'intelligence' but many fields in which you can be more or less intelligent. These 'intelligences' are basically seven: linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic and personal. Each of them is developed to a certain degree in all human beings, except in those who are impaired due to an accident or a genetic disease. And these are particularly the cases that Gardner uses to prove his theory, by gathering data of individuals that, for example, in spite of being autistic, show an incredible musical talent or those individuals with meager abilities in most areas but display from early childhood an ability to calculate very rapidly and accurately.
Of course that this approach challenges the widely accepted (in the US mostly) IQ scores, because it shows that these tests focus only in one of the multiple intelligences,logical-mathematical in this case, and not all. So, they reach to a wrong conclusion of the individual's potential.

Insightful Conclusions That Are Worth The Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2020

In this book Gardner seeks to change the notion of intelligence as a single inherited trait that can be measured solely by a paper and pencil test such as an IQ test. In this endeavor, he methodically defines several types of autonomous intelligences including linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and the personal intelligences. These intelligences are common to all of us, where are unique talents develop are from the multiplicities of ways these intelligences can combine.

With the first edition printed in 1983, some vocabulary and research used in the analysis might be out of date, yet the principles remain completely relevant. The read maybe technical at times but the conclusions are insightful, and it is worth the effort. Despite the wide growth and application of the framework within education, culturally there is room to improve in identifying talents and supporting growth in areas beyond traditional thoughts about intelligence.

He was so excited when he saw that I got this as a gift so I’m assuming it’s a great book

it has provided me with great ideas and lead me to a much better research ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2015

I started reading this book looking for ideas on an MS thesis. The original plan was to look at using Multiple Intelligence Theory to modify a classroom setting and improve student engagement. While I do not think this is practical for a Masters thesis after reading the book, it has provided me with great ideas and lead me to a much better research project than the original one.

Einstein's tree climbing fish story explained

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

Everyone is a genius, Einstein taught us. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its life feeling defeated. That's the second half. And that's the essence of this work. These insights not only liberate us to our best gifts - it also teaches us how to create space for others to do the same.
