Chapter 13: Other Applications of MI Theory

Chapter 13 of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom was really interesting – it applied Multiple Intelligence theory to fields that I hadn’t really considered. The cultural section really appealed to me, because I’ve always felt deprived of exposure to anything except certain European and American cultures. I do admit that I thought it was funny that Linda Ronstadt was the best Hispanic American musically intelligent person they could come up with (although I love her music). I was also really interested in the computer aspect of Multiple Intelligence Theory – I liked how the book said that computers were intelligently neutral and relied upon the software to interact with users. The career counseling part struck me well too – I feel like I never had any career counseling, but that may have been because I was so sure of what I wanted to do when I graduated from high school.
