Lesson 3 - The Multiple Intelligence Profile
My Hard-Wired Talent DNA
"If we all had exactly the same kind of mind and there was only one kind of intelligence, then we could teach everybody the same thing in the same way and assess them in the same way and that would be fair. But once we realize that people have very different kinds of minds, different kinds of strengths -- some people are good in thinking spatially, some in thinking language, others are very logical, other people need to be hands-on and explore actively and try things out -- then education, which treats everybody the same way, is actually the most unfair education. Because it picks out one kind of mind, which I call the law professor mind -- somebody who's very linguistic and logical -- and says, "If you think like that, great; if you don't think like that, there's no room on the train for you."

Being called or labeled "Stupid" is one of the most painful things we can experience. It makes us feel less than and not worth anything. The truth is no one is stupid. We are all intelligent in powerful and different ways.
Traditionally, it has been assumed that people possess two kinds of intelligence: mathematical and verbal. They were readily accepted for a long time because they were easy to design curriculum around for the schools and fairly measurable with standardized tests.
However, when Howard Gardner came along, he realized that there had to be much more to what people knew about the world than just their knowledge of numbers and words.
There were so many talented people out there in fields other than science and literature, and he believed that these people possessed certain kinds of knowledge that had never been considered before. With his theory of multiple intelligences, he attempted to explain the varied nature of human ability.to help people uncover their talents,
