Multiple Intelligences: possibly interchangeable with talent?
It is obvious that some people are more successful in different
intellectual domains than others. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences
suggests eight different domains of intellectual skill people can
identify with. The domains consist of the following, in which people can
score any level in all categories: linguistic, logico-mathematical,
spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and
naturalistic. Although his model is impossible to falsify, this idea is
important because it serves as a good starting point in which scientists
can begin distinguishing what qualifies as an "intelligence" versus a
talent. However, it is possible that talents and intelligence are
actually the same, when intelligence is defined among Gardner's
approach. It is impossible to say Einstein had a talent in math yet
didn't identify with that intelligence. A causation approach seems to
be inapplicable because research points towards intelligence being
considerably stable, while talents can be improved... yet those talents
remain in the same realm as its partnering intelligence. This article
talks about how there is a controversy on the misuse of his idea into
new teaching methods. However, who said that just because someone is
intelligent in music means that they will all of a sudden learn
geography classes significantly better based on singing the information?
They would simply just excel in the musical part of tasks, further
concluding their continued talent/intelligence. As suggested in the
text, I prefer to conclude I have an intelligence in humor, but one
could beg to differ. Overall, I now wonder if someones IQ could actually
be the degree in which every arguable intelligence is taken into
consideration, then somehow calculated. The WAIS test seems to imply
there are different areas of intelligence, so why not add them all...?
Oh, how psychology is incredibly ambiguous.
