Seunghee Chae UCI EXT: TEFL Roger du Puy; Methods Pick 2 of the 8 intelligences (based on Gardner’s Theory) to be high. List them here: 1. Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence 2. Intrapersonal Intelligence
If I have to choose only two MI items for my baby, I want my baby to have VerbalLinguistic Intelligence and Intrapersonal Intelligence. I want my baby can have welldeveloped verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words. For the skills, I want her or him to be a great listener, writer, and speaker. I believe that speaking and writing skills are very critical in any fields. Through education, people can learn and do a lot of things. If my child can have extra capacity in speaking and writing, he/she would be pretty successful in any filed. Intrapersonal Intelligence helps people to think and feel deeply. Without deep thinking process, even though you are extremely smart kid, you can still fail in many aspects. If you are not aware of how other people feel and think, you will not be able to understand the real life situations. I want my baby to have intrapersonal intelligence so he/she can embrace the people and things widely. Also, intrapersonal intelligence and verbal linguistic together, he/she will be able to fit many professional areas like journalist, writer, researchers, theorists and many others.
