Types of Intelligence
University center | Thursday, March 27 • 1pm
Instructor: Dr. Michael Schwartz • Special Interest
Human bodies come in all shapes and sizes: tall or short, thin or heavy, lean or muscular. The same is true with people’s intelligence. Some are highly intelligent, and others less so. Some excel in mathematics. Others are more geared toward the written word. Others to the spoken word. And still others to music or art. None are better or worse than any other. They are neither good nor bad. They are simply different. This presentation will talk about different types of intelligence, explain each type’s strengths, discuss whether people can excel in only one type of intelligence or shine in multiple types of intelligence.
