Assignment 1
What Intelligence Means to Me
Intelligence wheel showing Gardner's view. I think it is important to have all of these components in a person's intelligence.
|
Sometimes people are intelligent but not observational. This is where some older views of intelligence seem outdated to me as many types of intelligence are required to become successful.
|
I think the first step to making this world a better place is to increase individual intelligence emotionally. Once our capacity of emotional intelligence is expanded we will be able to better manage the other types of intelligence
Some fun pictures that reflect quotes that I believe are important to intelligence.
Assignment 2
History - What Stood Out For Me
Plato's cave has always been an area of interest to me. Even though it wasn't discussed at the time I believe that this shows how important it is for a person to develop and have multiple intelligence.
Darwin's quote on species making adaptations to survive. I think this really stood out for me because it shows that it is not just humans are intelligent and maybe humans don't always use their intelligence to their maximum.
|
I used this picture of an IQ scale to show that not everyone who scores low is unintelligent. I don't believe that I would do well on an IQ test based on what I have learned about them, but I do believe that I am highly intelligent and would be able to pass my intelligence along to others :)

What I Would Like To Learn More About
I really enjoy Howard Gardner's view on multiple intelligences, this is a video of him speaking to high school students on his subject, fascinating! I would love to delve further into his lectures and learn more about the specifics of multiple intelligences.
This chart represents what I would like to learn more about in regards to Gardner's view on intelligence. I would love to know specific details about each component and why those components are stronger in certain individuals and how someone can develop a weak component.
Assignment 3
IQ Experiment
Working Memory
On the working memory test I scored 5.5.
I think my working memory could be improved a little bit.

Processing Speed
On the Processing Speed test I scored 87%! I was really excited about this and proud to share this result.
Fluid Reasoning
I found the Fluid Reasoning test quite challenging. Near the end I could barely make out any of the pictures.
Executive Functioning
In the Executive Functioning test I scored 60. I'm not sure if this is high or low but I love these types of brain activities. I am usually to be found playing these type of games on my iPad:)
Using My Fast Processing Speed
Three ways that I can better use Processing Speed on a day-to-day basis are:
1. I can organize a meal plan for the whole family. I can make sense out of the ingredients we have and plan different delicious meals! I should also be able to realize what we are missing quickly and let my husband know what to get before he comes home.
2. I should be able to take notes at a faster pace and skim through them after class and still be able to retain the same amount of information.
3. I can keep track of our monthly bills and spending. I have been meaning to develop a monthly budget, this is the perfect opportunity to do so!
