Multiple Intelligence


 In the TED talk -"How Schools Kill creativity" Sir Ken Robinson talks about how creativity in schools os just as important as literature. He believes that children are educated out of creativity. He also talked about Gillian Lynne who  is a British ballerina, dancer, actor, theatre Director, television director and choreographer noted for her popular theatre choreography associated with the musical Cats and the current longest running show in broadway history, The Phantom of the Opera. He talked about how when she was younger she couldn't sit still in school, and instead of the therapist putting her on medicine and telling her to calm down, noticed her bodily movement for dance, and in rolled her into a dance school. The therapist noticed her Bodily kinesthetics and realize that she needs to move in order to be able to learn. 


Gardners multiple intelligence include: Mathematics, Verbal, Musical, Spatial, Bodily kinesthetics,Interpersonal, Interpersonal, naturalistic,spiritual and existential.


Out of the multiple Intelligence I believe that I am Bodily Kinaesthetic, because I need to be moving and enjoy doing sports and learn better after I have done a physical activity, I also believe that I am interpersonal because I can empathize with others and feel for people, and want to help people. Multiple intelligence are important to recognize with people, because they can depict how different people learn.
