Thank you We sneak And here's your shmoop du jour

00:06

brought to you by multiple intelligence theory the thinking students

00:09

excuse for slacking on his math homework Which researcher proposed

00:13

the multiple intelligence theory which states that there are many

00:16

types of intelligence including linguistic logical mathematical music and spatial

00:21

and hear the potential answers are which researcher proposed it

00:24

Thurston spearmint gardener guilford sternberg sounds like a new york

00:28

law firm right Okay well let's say you're at a

00:30

birthday party with these five guys Naturally there are birthday

00:34

cupcakes nineteen to be exact When someone asked you exactly

00:37

how many cupcakes and cupcake portions each of the six

00:40

of you should receive in the interest of fairness you

00:42

freeze So the real question is which one of these

00:45

cupcake obsessed weirdos would most likely comfort you with the

00:48

assertion that just because you aren't the most math savvy

00:51

doesn't mean you can't possess a variety of other forms

00:53

of intelligence Well it definitely wouldn't be charles spearmon an

00:57

english psychologist best known for his work in statistics through

01:00

comparing observed variables within complex concepts like socioeconomic status voting

01:04

demographics and maybe even party desert allocation considering the idea

01:08

he felt intelligence could be characterized in a single numerical

01:12

parameter He's Well he's definitely not our guy Guilford an

01:17

american psychologist known for his research into human intelligence developed

01:20

his own structure of intellect which viewed intelligence as composed

01:25

of operations contents and products each of which had several

01:29

different types as seen here Not exactly a theory that

01:31

looks to separate the maths from the everything else So

01:35

he can't be who we're looking for either Robert sternberg's

01:37

Try archaic theory of intelligence edges closer to what we're

01:40

looking for dividing forms of intelligence into three cognitive types

01:44

analytic creative and practical So while sternberg might be able

01:48

to at least praise you for your creative cupcake decorating

01:51

abilities he still wouldn't entirely excuse your failure to know

01:55

that each member of your six person party should receive

01:58

three point One six six six six six six seven

02:00

Cupcakes Even closer would be thirst own Who believed there

02:05

were seven independent primary mental abilities that made up human

02:09

intelligence including verbal comprehension fluency number ability memory perceptual speed

02:15

inductive reasoning and spatial visualization Well if you look exactly

02:20

like what we're looking for But seeing as how we're

02:22

missing music No this isn't quite there Thankfully gardeners multiple

02:28

intelligences theory defines eight types of intelligence Visual spatial bodily

02:33

kinesthetic musical interpersonal interrupt personal linguistic naturalist and logical mathematical

02:39

Now to identify the most visual spatial person at the

02:42

party capable of cutting in dividing a cupcake up to 00:02:44.93 --> [endTime] ten decimal places
