Reflection # 3

I think from all of Howard Gardner’s intelligence, my strength would have to be Intrapersonal intelligence. It involves the ability to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations. In Howard Gardner's view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives. We need to be able to teach the students that they need to value their lives and value their education because it is their future. They need to be able to comprehend and understand the concepts of right and wrong and to always respect themselves as well as others. Howard Gardner treated the personal intelligences 'as a piece'. Due to their close association in most cultures, they are often linked together. Mr. Howard still argues that it makes sense to think of two forms of personal intelligence. Mr. Gardner believes that the seven intelligence don’t often work by alone. They are used at the same time and tend to complement each other as people develop skills or solve problems.
