Multiple intelligencesMultiple intelligences are a guide to understanding how people learn. Everyone has a mind of their own, so obviously people learn differently. However, you learn your own styles at a young age. For example, "the theory of multiple intelligences states that individuals are born with the innate ability to succeed in a particular field, and education should help identify and develop students' innate abilities" (The Difference Between Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles, 2014). . Therefore, learning styles are cultivated when children are introduced to education. Intelligence quotient tests were used to determine a person's knowledge or skills. IQ tests were a guide to a person's intelligence. However, Howard Gardner's MI theories changed the way people viewed IQ tests and now know that it is a person's style in how they learn or relate to a subject. Apparently, not all children will see a topic the same way, henceforth, different learning styles. According to Gardner (2000), there are eight different intelligences, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, natural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal (p.5). People have these abilities, but not all learn in the same way. For example, one might have musical skills, while another might have mathematical skills. Each person is learning their own way of learning and understanding what kind of style they have, they are learning how to teach them. By studying one person in a controlled environment, such as a classroom, you can study how another person learns. Therefore, classroom studies have been conducted to evaluate how students learn.
