Does your child consider himself smart? And what does that even mean? It seems to many that a smart child is the one who gets good grades in school and the highest test scores. Usually "smart" in the understanding of people is someone who:
- Fluently reads.
- Quickly solves examples.
- Can immediately give out a lot of scientific facts known to him.
- Understands computers.
But what does it really mean to be smart? Intelligence is more than good grades, high test scores, and memorization skills. In fact, intelligence manifests itself in many ways - in creativity, in music, in sports, in the ability to see the beauty of nature, in emotions and the ability to find a common language with others (and even that's not all). After reading this book, your child will understand that it is possible to be smart in many different areas.
It is based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, revised and adapted for children. He changed people's understanding of thinking and intelligence. According to the theory of multiple intelligences, there are eight (sometimes nine) different types of intelligence - eight to nine different ways to be smart. This means that all people are smart by nature and each of us has developed certain facets of the mind.
This book will help your child discover who they are and who they can become. He will reveal his strengths, learn to use them in his studies and everyday life. He will believe in himself, he will be able to better understand himself and others. And finally stop asking if he's smart.

From the author
I have devoted 25 years to studying the work of Dr. Gardner. Over the years I have written many adult books on multiple intelligences. But then I wanted to write a book that would help young people - after all, I taught children for so many years. I hope I will be able to clearly explain the theory of multiple intelligences to you and others. It seems to me that it is very important for children - like you - to learn how to make the most of the most diverse facets of their minds.

Who is this book for?
For children of senior and middle school age

Introduction

Why can you do more than you think

Do you consider yourself smart? And what does that even mean? It seems to many that a smart child is the one who gets good grades in school and the highest test scores. Usually "smart" in the understanding of people is someone who:

Reads fluently;

Quickly solves examples;

Can immediately give out a lot of scientific facts known to him;

Understands computers.

So what do you think it means to be smart?

I will say one thing that may surprise you: intelligence is not only good grades, high test scores, and the ability to remember. Intelligence manifests itself in many ways - in creativity, music, sports, the ability to see the beauty of nature, emotions and the ability to find a common language with others (and even that's not all). After reading this book, you will understand that you can be smart in a variety of areas.

In the last century, IQ tests have often been used to determine how smart a person is. IQ stands for "intelligence quotient"; is the score you got on the test. Many people believe that there is no better way to measure intelligence. The IQ test includes solving mathematical examples, explaining the meanings of words, building diagrams, repeating numbers from memory, and other tasks. You may even have passed it.

However, tests are not perfect and there are many qualities that they fail to assess. For example, tests cannot predict who you will be when you grow up and what you will achieve in life. Test questions can be biased, that is, reflect the opinion of the people who came up with it. They often do not provide an opportunity to demonstrate different facets of human intelligence. As a rule, their focus is on the ability to count and understand words, but they overlook other important things - musical and creative abilities, love of nature, the ability to communicate.

Recently, people have begun to doubt that the IQ test is an effective measure of intelligence. One such doubter was the psychologist, Harvard professor Dr. Howard Gardner. Thanks in part to the work he has done, we now have a completely different idea of what it really means to be smart.

Theory of multiple intelligences

Dr. Gardner suggested that IQ tests are imperfect and unable to measure the full range of abilities that people often have, and therefore give an erroneous idea of \u200b\u200bthe real intelligence of a person.

Working with adults and children and trying to better understand exactly how people learn, he found that each person acquires knowledge and demonstrates his abilities in different ways. He also noticed that you can be smart not only in one thing, but in many things. So he had an idea, or theory, which he called the theory of multiple intelligences.

Dr. Gardner's theory about the existence of different types of intelligence is very logical. There are so many examples of people who scored low on an IQ test, or who didn't take aptitude tests at all, were otherwise very intelligent. For example, artists, climbers, businessmen, explorers and inventors.

According to Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, there are eight (sometimes nine) kinds of intelligence - eight or nine different ways to be smart! Each of them has certain qualities, scope of activity and interests. It:

Introduction
Why can you do more than you think

Reads fluently;

Quickly solves examples;

Can immediately give out a lot of scientific facts known to him;

Understands computers.

So what do you think it means to be smart?

Recently, people have begun to doubt that the IQ test is an effective measure of intelligence.

One such doubter was the psychologist, Harvard professor Dr. Howard Gardner. Thanks in part to the work he has done, we now have a completely different idea of what it really means to be smart.

Theory of multiple intelligences

1) linguistic intelligence,

2) musical,

3) logical and mathematical,

4) spatial,

5) bodily-kinesthetic,

6) interpersonal,

7) intrapersonal,

8) the intellect of a natural scientist.

The ninth is called the existential (philosophical) intelligence, or "worldly wisdom" (we will talk about it in the last chapter of this book).

I have devoted 25 years to studying the work of Dr. Gardner. Over the years I have written several books on multiple intelligences for adults. But then I had a desire to write a book for young people. I hope I can explain the theory of multiple intelligences to you. It seems to me that it is very important for you to learn how to make the most of all the facets of your mind.

To make it easier for you to figure out what's what, I came up with simpler names for each of the nine types of intelligence.

Verbal intelligence (linguistic). You like the words in your language and how they form into sentences in speech and writing. Perhaps you like puns and word games, you like telling stories, writing letters, writing essays and reading. You like learning foreign languages. Chapter 1 is devoted to this kind of intelligence.

musical intelligence. You know how to listen to music, recognize the rhythm, determine the tonality and pitch by ear. You like all kinds of music. You love to sing, play musical instruments and go to concerts. I will talk more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 2.

Logical intelligence (logical-mathematical). You like to get to the bottom of things, you are good at mathematics, it does not escape you if the numbers add up in a logical sequence. Exact sciences bring you pleasure. Perhaps you like riddles, puzzles, you like to sit at a computer, invent your own codes and ciphers, and conduct scientific experiments. You will learn more about this type of intelligence in Chapter 3.

Figurative intelligence (spatial). You like to look at the world and notice interesting things. You are good at “drawing” pictures and images in your mind. You can remember what you see and use your imagination to convey this image to others - create a work of art or an object, take a photograph, build a structure, invent something new. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 4.

Body intelligence (bodily-kinesthetic). You are agile and able to control your body, you use it to learn new skills or self-expression. Perhaps you play sports or dance. Or maybe you like to do something with your hands: needlework, design models, repair things. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 5.

Social intelligence (interpersonal). You are interested in people and how they communicate. Perhaps you are involved in student council or school committee activities, you have many friends, you help the people in your area, or you just hang out with a lot of people. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 6.

Internal intelligence (intrapersonal). You realize and understand your feelings, you know what you are doing well and what needs to be improved. It often happens that you understand yourself better than others. Perhaps you keep a diary, make plans for the future, reflect on the past and set goals. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 7.

Natural intelligence (intellect of the natural scientist). You are observant, you like to seek out and classify objects - plants, animals, stones. (If you live in a city, you tend to categorize other objects as well—books, classmates' clothes, for example.) You likely enjoy being outdoors or gardening, taking care of pets, cooking, and taking part in environmental projects. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 8.

Philosophical intelligence (existential). You think a lot about life. You like conversations on religious, spiritual and philosophical topics. You are wondering when the countdown on Earth began and whether the end of the world will ever come. You love to meditate, pray and think about life - alone or in the company of other people. You worship beauty and respect all living beings. You can immerse yourself in creativity - music and art classes - and forget about everything. You will learn more about this kind of intelligence in Chapter 9.

A little about this book

Each of the nine chapters details each of the nine intelligences. As you read about them, note which of the descriptions best suit you, and in which you recognize the traits of your friends, relatives, and even teachers. This book will help you discover who you are and who you can become. You can learn to better understand others and find a common language with them. It's about your brothers and sisters, parents, friends, teachers and everyone else. You will understand that each person has strengths and each one approaches the solution of certain problems in his own way. Perhaps by reading this book and observing your sister with a developed body intelligence, you will learn to play basketball better; you will learn something new from a teacher who has logical intelligence, and you will be able to better understand your friend, who is dominated by internal intelligence.

I have good news for you: you already have all nine types of intelligence. Seriously! You can't have just one kind. To one degree or another, all aspects of the mind described in this book are developed in you. This does not mean that you are good at everything (such geniuses are rare), but you certainly have certain abilities in each of the areas. As you read about the different types of intelligence, you will begin to see each of them in yourself. So, you are already nine times smarter than you thought before you read these lines!

And one more thing to make you happy.

Each type of intelligence is different from the others, but they are all equal. None is better or more important than the other.

Whatever your abilities and in whatever area they manifest themselves, they can be studied, strengthened and developed. Verbal intelligence can be developed both by someone who does not even know how to spell "verbal" or by a future best-selling author. This is just one example, but I hope you understand what I mean.

You may already know what you do best. However, your abilities are not limited to this area. For example, if you have a developed body intelligence, that's great, congratulations! - this does not mean at all that you cannot like to read, because this refers to a different kind of intelligence (verbal).

Even in one area, intelligence manifests itself in different ways. For example, with a developed verbal intelligence, you can be an excellent speaker, but not very good at writing. With a developed bodily intelligence, it is great to swim, but mediocre to play football. By working on yourself, you can improve both strengths and weaknesses.

Any action involves different kinds of intelligence. For example, it may seem that in order to paint a picture, it is enough to have a figurative intelligence. But it's not! It also needs bodily intelligence - to master various painting techniques; and natural intelligence - so that the eye notices even small details; and inner intelligence - otherwise where will ideas come from? So it is with all other activities, whether it's acting, writing stories, hockey or computer programming.

Nine types of intelligence are inherent in all people. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, how old you are, where you grew up, each type of intelligence is present in you to one degree or another. Whether you develop them is up to you.

Evidence of the application of multiple intelligences can be found in any life situation. For example, look at your neighbor who has a beautiful garden - this is natural intelligence and figurative. Or to his brother, who constantly writes something in his diary - this is verbal intelligence. Or to a mother who loves to sing - that's musical intelligence for you. Perhaps your high school math teacher has a logical intelligence, and your civics teacher has a social one. Your friend who knows how to juggle has developed body intelligence, and the one who started his own business has an internal one. Manifestations of multiple intelligences can be seen in both the driver of the school bus (corporeal) and the seller in the store (social). Wherever you look - at home, at school, on the street - everywhere people use different facets of their intellect.

The nine kinds of intelligence can be somewhat compared to the notes in an octave: do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do-re. People are like different songs composed of the same notes. If you use all the facets of your intellect to the maximum, your beautiful song, unlike the songs of other people, will sound all over the world! And this book will help you do just that.

Chapter 1
Verbal intelligence

Check yourself:

What about telling stories?

Write stories or poetry?

To learn foreign languages?

Do you have a large vocabulary?

Do you write without mistakes?

Do you like to write letters - paper and electronic?

Do you like to discuss different concepts?

Are you good at remembering names and facts?

Do you like word games - anagrams, ciphers, scrabble, crossword puzzles?

If you are interested in a topic, do you try to read about it and learn more?

Do you like games with word combinations - puns, tongue twisters, poetry?

If you answered “yes” to at least one of these questions, you are endowed with verbal intelligence in one form or another.

What is verbal intelligence?

Verbal intelligence is the love of words and how they are used in speech and writing. People with developed verbal intelligence are highly sensitive to the sound of words, their meanings and applications. They like to play with words. Talented poets and writers, book lovers, excellent storytellers, persuasive debaters, people with the ability to learn foreign languages and those who write without a single mistake - they are all endowed with verbal intelligence.

You also have verbal intelligence. It manifests itself when you read a book, even if it is not easy for you; when you are talking to your family, watching the news, watching your favorite comics or writing letters to friends.

Verbal intelligence is needed to do the most ordinary things:
telling jokes;

to keep a diary;

write poetry and compose stories;

write letters and take notes;

defend their interests in discussions;

listen to radio programs and performances;

listen to audiobooks;

watch films;

tell stories;

How useful is verbal intelligence?

It allows you to communicate with people – verbally and in writing.

It helps you study well. A lot of what you do in school is related to verbal intelligence: reading, writing, spelling, remembering facts, oral presentations to the class.

Thanks to him, you can visit new places, meet interesting people and learn about extraordinary things - all this will open books for you.

So if someone comes up to you and says, “I don’t think I have any verbal intelligence,” you can say, “How could you say those words then? Without verbal intelligence, this would not be possible!” (We use words to communicate.)

Oral speech

One of the manifestations of verbal intelligence is the ability to communicate. Oral speech is its foundation. What's the easiest way to communicate? Speak and listen! Two things that almost all of us do on a daily basis. Why are people talking? To share impressions, inspire, convince, lead, teach and delight. This requires a lot of words!

Think about how often you use spoken language during the day. You talk to your school friends and answer teachers' questions, argue with your brother about all sorts of things, and explain to your little sister how to solve a math problem. With words, you can convince people to support a charity program or take part in a fundraiser for your school. These are all manifestations of verbal intelligence.

Even if you are not very good at reading and writing, your verbal intelligence can be very pronounced in spoken language. Many people who were once labeled "dyslexic" and who were called "unable to read" became excellent storytellers, public speakers, actors, comedians and politicians. Take actors Tom Cruise and Keira Knightley, comedians Whoopi Goldberg and Jay Leno, singer Cher and musician John Lennon.

People who stutter can also make great speakers, storytellers, and actors. Here are some examples of celebrities for whom stuttering did not become a hindrance to success: Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of Great Britain during the Second World War), Emily Blunt (actress, played in the movie "Reality Changers"); James Earl Jones (voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars)

If you know how to speak and listen, then most likely they turn to you when you need to make a speech. Perhaps you have managed to pass for a good storyteller or brilliantly deliver reports. However, it may also be that you are intimidated by the prospect of answering in front of a class or speaking in front of a group of people. Well, you're not alone in this. Many - including adults - do not like to do this.

Why is it sometimes so difficult for us to speak? Someone simply does not like to attract attention to themselves or is afraid to brecze some stupidity.

If you are afraid to answer in class:

Listen carefully to everything others say.

Try to speak out loud more often. Answer a little more each day than the day before. It is not necessary to immediately make a long speech.

As long as you're talking, don't worry about what others think of you.

If you are afraid to make a presentation:

Don't forget to breathe. This advice may seem strange, but try not to forget it. Deep breathing helps to calm down.

Speak loudly, clearly and slowly. You may give in to the urge to whisper, mutter under your breath, or blurt it all out at once, but if you do, you'll most likely have to do it all over again!

Practice performing in front of your parents or some of your friends. So you get used to saying the words out loud in front of a small audience. Then it will be easier for you to speak in front of a larger group of people.

Highlight the main topics and points of your report in color so that you can easily find them during your speech. If you practice well, you may not even need to look at your notebook!

So don't be afraid to speak out loud in class! It's as simple and fun as telling jokes or stories to friends.

One of the greatest examples of persuasive rhetoric of the 20th century is Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. To read it, search the Internet for the first words: "I have a dream."

Telling jokes and stories can be great to cheer up acquaintances, but stories have another, very important meaning. In all cultures of the world, storytellers and chroniclers were treated with great respect. They not only entertained their audiences, but also acted as keepers of the annals and myths of their society. From generation to generation, for many years, family chronicles and religious traditions were passed from mouth to mouth.

Written speech

Reading is one of the most amazing things in the world. Simple ink marks on the page... how do you find meaning in them? Look at the word "cat". There are only three symbols, but once you read them, an image of your cat or other cats that you know or have seen appears in your head!

How can just three characters conjure such a response? Nobody knows for sure. Scientists have not yet fully understood how exactly, when we look at the symbols on a page, we capture their meaning.

The ability to read opens hundreds of doors to the world of knowledge and imagination. Sitting on a sofa or at a school desk, you can be transported to Ancient Egypt, find yourself in a rocket flying into outer space, or on board a submarine sailing at great depths. Reading a book is like diving into a completely different world.

Scientists have found that people who communicate using sign language - for example, those who are completely or partially deaf - use parts of the brain responsible for verbal intelligence.

Someone has a favorite writer - Bob Stein 1

, - and they try to read all the books of these authors. Someone prefers books of a certain genre - detectives, science fiction, westerns, romance novels, poetry and plays. Some people like not fictional, but real stories - and they read books and magazines about animals, nature, historical events, cars and space expeditions. And someone just reads what they like.

What books do you like the most?

There are texts that you are required to read according to the school curriculum - textbooks, additional materials and books. Some of them may be of real interest to you, and some may not. When faced with an uninteresting topic, you are likely to try to get to the information you need as quickly as possible. This will help you "selective reading". Look for keywords and sentences that open up the topic (usually the first sentence of a paragraph), look at headings and subheadings of chapters. In addition, pictures and tables help to understand the main meaning of the text.

If you think that non-fiction is exclusively books for adults, and teen literature is books from the Hunger Games, Divergent, Twilight series (fiction fiction), then Thomas Armstrong's book "You can do more than you think" is something something completely new, something that will allow the child to learn about his abilities, improve them and believe in himself. This is such a kind of book on self-development (only in the best sense of the word) for teenagers.
Thomas Armstrong develops Dr. Gardner's theory of different (in our case, nine) types of intelligence. This approach appeared exclusively from those results that show generally accepted IQ tests, but do not reflect the real intelligence of a person (you can not score 100 points in an IQ test, but be a talented athlete or speaker).
Let's return to multiple intelligences, and, as I wrote above, there are as many as 9 of them: linguistic (verbal), musical, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, natural scientist and philosophical.
A separate chapter is devoted to each of the types of intelligence. The structure of presenting information is very conveniently presented: general information (the benefits of a particular type of intelligence, its purpose, manifestations), how to develop (a lot of useful information, what books to read, what music to listen to, what videos to watch, and so on and so forth). Further, how to use your strengths to improve each of the types of intelligence, and at the end of each chapter is a list of professions in which these skills can be useful (the list is quite large from teacher and artist to speechwriter, onomatopoeist, forensic scientist, cartographer, stuntman, and other, no less interesting specialties). Each chapter is clearly structured, so it is quite difficult to get lost in the information (special labels, drawings). Here and there the text is diluted with interesting facts (for example: Veronica Seider is the owner of very sharp eyesight (hyperidesis), she could see and recognize a person who is more than one and a half kilometers from her!), And the wide margins in the book ask that They made notes and glued bookmarks!
An extremely useful and very informative book for teenagers from 10 years old, it will be interesting for both boys and girls, those who already know who they want to become and those who doubt their abilities.
As the author of the book himself says, absolutely all people on the planet are endowed with nine types of intelligence, the main thing is to know your weaknesses and try to improve them.

"The nine kinds of intelligence can partly be compared with notes in an octave: do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do-re. People are like different songs composed of the same notes. If you make the most of all the facets your intellect, your beautiful, unlike the songs of other people, will resound throughout the world!

Hi all. I can’t call myself a big fan of pop science, but when I come across a bright book with an attractive title, it can be hard to resist. It happened this time with the book. "You can do more than you think". I took it to read and got a bit carried away.

Before reading this "work" all the literature from the MYTH was for me, albeit not always interesting, but mostly useful. Also, the beautiful design of the publication is always captivating. "You can do more than you think" has a beautiful design, stylish paperback. The font is large, the sheets are white, there are small illustrations. Important points, entertaining facts in the book are highlighted in bright colors. I really liked the layout and structure of the book. But the rest of the book has nothing to praise.

This book is written for students and teenagers (from 10 years old). It will help them to take a fresh look at their capabilities. What does it mean to be smart? Every one of us thinks about it. It seems to many that the smart one is the one who gets high grades and scores for tests. Usually "smart" in the understanding of people is someone who:
Reads fluently.
Quickly solves examples.
Can immediately give out a lot of scientific facts known to him.
Understands computers.

But what does it really mean to be smart? This should be considered as early as possible. Intelligence is more than good grades, high test scores, and memorization skills. In fact, intelligence manifests itself in many ways - in creativity, in music, in sports, in the ability to see the beauty of nature, in emotions and the ability to find a common language with others (and even that's not all). After reading this book, everyone will understand that you can be smart in a variety of areas.
It is based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, revised and adapted for students and teenagers. This is a man who changed people's ideas about thinking and intelligence. According to the theory of multiple intelligences, there are eight (sometimes nine) different types of intelligence - eight to nine different ways to be smart. This means that all people are smart by nature and each of us has developed certain facets of the mind.
This book will be a great start in your self-development. It will help you discover who you are and who you can become. You will reveal your strengths, learn how to use them in your studies and everyday life. Believe in yourself, you can better understand yourself and others. And finally, stop doubting your intellectual abilities.

First, it is written for schoolchildren. Of course, now I am judging from the point of view of an adult, but after 12-14 years it will be simply boring to read it. The book describes several types of intelligence, as well as many tips on how to develop one or another side of your personality. It's a shame, since everything is written really competently, "sorted out on the shelves." But so primitive!This book is definitely not suitable for an adult audience.

Secondly, there are too many well-known facts and extra "water" in the book. Even a schoolboy will have to isolate useful information himself, bit by bit, since everything that is written and so clear is a kind of common truth that cannot be lured by the reader, teach something or help.

But again, for schoolchildren, the book can be informative. Especially for insecure students. At one time I also had complexes about the fact that I was not at all strong in the exact sciences. I got three after one, and sometimes two in mathematics, geometry, physics. I tried to teach, but it didn’t go beyond cramming, the grades were low and I was very upset. If at that time I had come across the book "You can do more than you think", I would not have worried so much. After all, all types of intelligence cannot be equally present in one person. Something more and something less expressed. So it is with me, creativity, literature, nature are close to me. But the exact sciences, calculations, figures are not at all mine. Over time, you realize it yourself. The book, on the other hand, reduces the time of understanding, and already being a well-read student, you can choose one or another profile class correctly, focus on subjects that are closer and develop in a more interesting area.

At the end of each chapter of the book are lists of professions that suit a person, depending on his predominant intellect. It is also an important thing if you are still at the very beginning of the journey and do not know where to move on, which highly specialized profile to choose, and what exams to take for the Unified State Examination.

"You Can Do More Than You Think" is definitely an interesting book. Unfortunately not for adults. For me it was completely useless. But, given the audience for which it was designed, I can not speak of it extremely negatively. Read, all schoolchildren, inclusive of grade 9, the book may like it, better, of course, even at a younger age. For students, it will be interesting, and it is not boring, in large print, all the main things are highlighted. If parents scold algebra for deuces, do not be upset. Perhaps you have a talent for music, drawing, or some other activity. And "You can do more than you think" will most appropriately raise self-esteem and help you understand yourself a little.

Thank you for your attention!
