Flowers for Algernon Assignment

Hi all,
This post is on my homework for Flowers for Algernon. I would be doing No.5.

Oral: In HCI, we place emphasis on different types of intelligences. Your Director of Consortium has asked you to do research on the different intelligences and present it to the consortium. You are also to explain which intelligence is the most important to you. You will present it to your own class mates first.
Instead of presenting the normal seven types of intelligence, I will go through it by using nine types of intelligence.

1.) Musical Intelligence
People with musical intelligence have the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone which enable them to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music. Those that possess musical intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves in their daily life and are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.

2.) Interpersonal Intelligence
People with interpersonal intelligence have the ability to understand and interact effectively with others which involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives. Those that possess interpersonal intelligence are leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings and motives.

3.) Linguistic Intelligence
People with linguistic intelligence have the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language. People that possess linguistic intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.

4.) Intrapersonal Intelligence
People with intra-personal intelligence have the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directioning one’s life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition. Those that possess intrapersonal intelligence are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.

5.) Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
People with bodily kinesthetic intelligence have the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union.

6.) Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
People with logical-mathematical intelligence have the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations which enables them to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. People that possess logical-mathematical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships and are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.

7.) Naturalist Intelligence
People with naturalist intelligence designate the human ability to discriminate among living things as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world.

8.) Spatial Intelligence
People with spatial intelligence have the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and an active imagination. People that possess spatial intelligence may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing or daydreaming.

9.) Existential Intelligence
Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.

I am not really sure about 7 & 9 but for reference, this is the website :
