This article in the Washington Post tells how some professors want to discount Gardner's theory and gives his response to their criticism. I liked Gardner's commit in the 7 paragraph. I think his statement is very true. you have to make learning fun for kids.

Examples of my two highest ratings:

 

 

 

Interpersonal

 

 

 I gave myself a 5 on interpersonal, because I feel that I can read a person's mood. My wife will sometimes call me a psycho, because I try to figure out her moods. I like reading peoples expressions just to see if I can understand what is going on in the world. If you sit around in a public place and watch the way people carry their self you will see all types of moods. I get accused of people watching when we go to the mall. Christmas time is the best time to people watch.

  

 

 

 

Body-kinesthetic

 

 

I gave myself a five on body-kinesthetic, because of all the sports that I played my entire life. I stated playing baseball at the age of five. the last game of organized ball came at the age of 42. If I could find the time I would still be playing. I love the game of baseball, so now instead of playing I am coaching a 9 and 10 year old team. Baseball is not the only game that I played growing up. I played football till I was a junior in high school. I gave up football to focus on baseball. I love the trill of competition. I personally think that competition is good for a young person. I believe that sports gives a young person advantage in life. Sports will help kids understand how important it is to work together. I think kids need to learn this, because this world is full of self-centered people.

    

 

 

 

QUESTION:


I wonder how many people would look at their lives different and try to be more out going in what they love to do after taking the Gardner's test?
