"Initially I thought of the part in Young Frankenstein where he puts a pin in the old guy's head to block pain, then he kicks him in the groin and the old guy shows no pain. But when the pin is removed all the pain suddenly hits him. The rest of the book was interesting and will take some thought and drawing it out to understand all of our intelligences."
"Quite an interesting and thought provoking response to the old notion of "g" -- general intelligence. Gardner posits that there are multiple relatively independent mental faculties that process information. These include Musical intelligence (e.g., Louis Menuhin), Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (e.g., Babe Ruth), Logical-Mathematical intelligence (e.g., Barbara McClintock), Linguistic intelligence (e.g., T.S. Eliot), Spatial intelligence (as used by navigators prior to instruments), Interpersonal intelligence (e.g, Anne Sullivan), and Intrapersonal intelligence (e.g., Virginia Woolf). He then describes the neurological basis for these as well as a number of research and educational projects based on this approach to understanding learning."
