Types of Kid's Intelligence

We observe that kids are very different from each other. Each child represents his/her unique personality, which may be entirely different from his/her brothers or sisters. Some kids are very playful and perform well in sports. Some children cling to books all the time and spend most of their time reading. Some laugh and are happy in making joy with others. Why does this happen?

The answer is simple. In fact, playfulness, laughter, and reading are the different types of intelligence that are determined by the time of a person's birth. If you are familiar with the science of astronomy, it is easy for you to understand and believe in it. The time, date, and month in which a baby is born to have an effect on his personality. This time determines the type of his intelligence. If you want to identify the talents of your children, you need to see what the ruling star is according to the child's date of birth. Your child will have the same characteristics as the ruling star in your child's horoscope. After identifying the child's talent, you need to encourage the child in the same direction, which is in line with the child's personality.

These are the views expressed by Harvard University neuropsychologist and educator Howard Gardner in his book Frame of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligence.

Howard Gardner writes in this book,

‘Each child evolves with his or her own needs. Thus, a child who does not show interest in language, for example, might have great ability in the field of mathematics and spatial intelligence.

A team of scientists has studied the human brain, which has identified eight types of intelligence. The research identified specific parts of the human brain that correspond to a specific type of knowledge. According to research, there are specific parts of the human brain that are capable of storing only certain types of information, which vary from person to person. If the same parts of the brain are used to store information that is inconsistent with its structure, the brain becomes prone to numbness, resulting in apathy and apathy. That is why some children are not good at studies but they are excellent athletes and some children are best in studies but are not interested in games and sports. There may be some good inventors but do not like either sports or studies. We have the example of Edison, who was expelled from school with reasoning of having a dull mind, but he emerged as a great inventor in the world of science.

However, scientists explained eight types of intelligence, which is described below.

1.     Logical-mathematical Intelligence
