WHAT IS LOGICAL MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE?
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is the ability to analyse situations or problems logically, to identify solutions, to conduct scientific research, and to solve logical/mathematical operations easily. It is one of the nine multiple intelligence types proposed by Howard Gardner.
How does this work in Birth? Find out in this video
#mychildfirst #talkingtuesdays #talkingtuesday #birthwisdom #mathematicalintelligence #logicalintelligence #howardgardner
Intrapersonal (‘intra’ – ‘within’) is the intelligence of the self.
Intrapersonal intelligence is a form of knowledge that we all share, yet few know how to use it. It is the intelligence of self, the ability to decipher and analyze your motives, desires, thoughts, and emotions. The acts of practicing self-reflection and self-mastery are methods of intrapersonal intelligence. Which then helps you understand what you want, what you don’t want, and why you behave the way you do. Armed with this knowledge, we then can gain invaluable wisdom beyond our years.
In our #talkingtuesday, we will talk about this intelligence in Birth and as Parents.

It is defined by Howard Gardner as a human computational capacity that provides the ability or mental skill to solve spatial problems of navigation, visualization of objects from different angles and space, faces or scenes recognition, or to notice fine details. Gardner further explains that Spatial Intelligence could be more effective to solve problems in areas related to realistic, thing-oriented, and investigative occupations.

- Graphical
- Imaginative and Orienting Ability
- Vision Boards
- Big Picture of Birth
