Based on psychologist Howard Gardner's pioneering theory of
"multiple intelligences," the original edition of 7 Kinds of Smart
identified seven distinct ways of being smart, including "word smart,"
"music smart," "logic smart," and "people smart." Now, with the addition
of two new kinds of smart--"naturalist" and "existential"--7 Kinds of
Smart offers even more interesting information about how the human
psyche functions. Complete with checklists for determining one's
strongest and weakest intelligences, exercises, practical tips for
developing each type of smart, a revised bibliography for further
reading, and a guide to related Internet sites, this book continues to
be an essential resource, offering cutting-edge research for general
consumption.
