| Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence | |||||||||||||||||
| People with this form of intelligence just can�t sit still. They wiggle constantly, make noises with their mouths, fingers, feet, and/or either by constantly tapping, squeaking and squawking. They can�t wait to be outside playing, running, climibing trees, etc. This type of person has intuitive feelings about academic material. They may know the answer to a problem, but not know how to get the answer on paper. They just "feel" it. They learn through their bodies, so to speak, doing action things - touching, physical contact, working with their hands. A great example is a young boy who memorized the capitals of 50 states over a period of five days while rollerblading on the family�s patio and repeating them after his dad. To do the same work sitting down would have required ten days of struggle rather than five days of fun. A child with this type of intelligence will not get along in a "regular" school setting. Most schools teach in a way that is more conducive to the logical-mathematical intelligence. In "regular" school, this child would frequently be labeled as "ADD" or "ADHD" and Ritalin or some other controlling drug would be strongly suggested. |
