Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

What is the source of intelligence (as measured by IQ)
• Nature (Biology, genetics)
• Nurture (Environment, family, schooling, changing economic conditions)
Correlations among various group members used to test hypotheses
Issue of Nature vs. Nurture
Nurture's Influence
Stability of IQ measures true only if there are no radical changes in the environment

Nurture's Influence
Issue of nature vs. nurture is especially critical for educators:
Issue of Nature vs. Nurture
• If nature, our role is to sort and select
• If nurture, our role is to develop
Were You Born That Way?Identical twins…steelworker, Jim Lewis, and
clerical worker Jim Springer. The two were separated five weeks after birth and raised 80 miles apart in Ohio. Thirty-nine years later, they were reunited in 1979. Not only did they both have dark hair, stand 6 feet tall, and weigh 180 pounds, but they also……..
Were You Born That Way?
• Spoke with the same inflections• Made the same gestures• Loved stock car racing• Hated baseball• Drove Chevrolets• Drank Miller Lite• Vacationed on the same half mile stretch of Florida beach• Had elevated blood pressure• Severe migraines• Bit their nails• Undergone vasectomies• Married women named Linda, divorced them, and married women named Betty• Heart rates, brain waves, and IQs were nearly identical, and the personality scores
were as though one person had taken the same test twice.

What about Terry Blair?• Born Poor• Mother suffered from mental illness and only
had a 9th grade education.• Violence, drugs, and prostitution were
rampant in his neighborhood.• Brother who abducted and raped a woman• Another brother murdered a young woman
and was convicted and executed in 1993.• Mother shot and killed a man.
• What was Terry’s crimes?
www.wikipedia.com
Well….Terry• Murdered his pregnant wife after finding out that
she was soliciting sex (prostitution).• He was sentenced to 25 years, but spent 21 years
incarcerated for that crime.• Once released Terry became a serial killer, tried
and convicted of killing 6 prostitutes in his neighborhood.
• He was also accused of murdering 2 additional women, raping three additional women, and assaulting another.
• Do you think nature or nurture played a greater role in Terry’s
situation?

Because someone cared and encouraged them……
• 100% of all students graduates AND attends a 4 year college/university!!!
• Isn’t that AMAZING!!!!• As teachers, we have that ability to inspire
EVERYDAY!!!• Maybe one day our students can speak
about the way this celebrity spoke of his teacher.
Of course, the reality is that both are important
Issue of Nature vs. Nurture
Sternberg’s Theory of IntelligenceSternberg believes that intelligence is comprised of three separate, though interrelated, abilities:
Alice”, who had excellent test scores and grades, and teachers viewed her as extremely smart. Alice was later seen having trouble in graduate school because she was not adept at creating ideas of her own (Sternberg, 1997).
Barbara had synthetic giftedness. Barbara did not perform as well as Alice on the tests taken to get into school, but was recommended to Yale University based on her exceptional creative and intuitive skills. Barbara was later very valuable in creating new ideas for research.
Celia did not have outstanding analytical or synthetic abilities, but she “was highly successful in figuring out what she needed to do in order to succeed in an academic environment. She knew what kind of research was valued, how to get articles into journals, how to impress people at job interviews, and the like.”
Why Intelligent People Fail
Sternberg recognizes that intelligence is only one explanation of why some people succeed and why others do not.
•Why do you think students with potential fail?
