Learner Needs: Differing Intelligence Models
Traditionally, someone who is intelligent is defined as an individual who can solve problems, use logic to answer questions, and think critically. However, experts within the learning academic community have suggested broader definitions of intelligence (i.e., multiple and emotional intelligences).
For this journal, complete the following:
- Demonstrate an understanding of intelligence (IQ), multiple intelligences (MI), and emotional intelligence (EQ) by comparing and contrasting the differing constructs associated with each.
- Take a sample MI assessment on the webpage Assessment: Find Your Strengths! (Links to an external site.) Review and summarize your results.
- Do you agree with the assessment?
- How can what you have learned about yourself help support your learning performance?
- How might what you’ve learned about yourself manifest in a career or professional setting?’
- Take a sample EQ Assessment on the webpage Emotional Intelligence Quiz (Links to an external site.). Review your results.
- Do you agree with the assessment?
- How can what you have learned about yourself help support your learning performance?
- How might what you’ve learned about yourself manifest in a career or professional setting?’
- Thinking critically about these foundational differences, comment on the broader propositions suggested by EQ and MI about learning preferences and development and how these may modify the way individuals assess another’s strengths and weaknesses.
