Do you see any relationship between E.Q. and being an positive/optimistic person? Why do you think that people with high E.Q.’s are generally “more successful” than people with just high I.Q.’s?What about those people who seem to have both a high E.Q. and high I.Q.?

Howard Gardner identifies areas of intelligence. It isn’t all that simple. People can excel in some areas and challenged in others.Originally Gardner came up with seven areas of intellect including the following:

– Verbal/Linguistic– Mathematical/Logical– Spatial/Visual– Musical/Rhythmic– Interpersonal– Intrapersonal– Body/kinesthetic.

Today there are nine multiple intelligences including the original seven + existential and naturalistic.

Which of the seven intelligences might be used in an I.Q. test or I.Q. equivalency test?

Which of the nine might be used to determine a person’s e.q.?

Multiple Intelligence Inventory

Place the profile in your journal.Write an analysis of the profile in the forum discussing why you believe you got the score you did for each of the intelligences.Make sure to address all of the intelligences with some discussion.

Review your M.I. profile.Note the score and look at your response.Spatial/Visual Intelligence is really a collection of abilities and skills that deal with the ability to form mental images and manipulate them.
