MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES Gardner initially identified seven intelligences. But then, he adds new intelligences. Gardner defines intelligence as "mental ability to solve problems and create products that are valued in one or more cultures.

__The Theory of Multiple Intelligences: As Psychology, As Education, As Social Science Howard Gardner__

Gardner talks about multiple intelligences:
 * __Linguistic __: ability to analyse information and create products involving oral and written language such as speeches, books and memos.


 * __Logical-mathematical __: ability to develop equations and proofs, make calculation, and solve abstract problems.


 * __Spatial __: ability to recognize and manipulate large-scale and fine-grained spatial images.


 * __Musical __: ability to produce, remember and make meaning of different patterns of sound.


 * __Naturalistic __: ability to identify and distinguish among different types of plants, animals and weather formations that are found in the natural world.


 * __Bodily-kinesthetic __: ability to use one’s own body to create products to solve problems.


 * __Interpersonal __<span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">: ability to recognize and understand other people’s moods, desires, motivations and intentions.
 * __<span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Intrapersonal __<span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">: ability to recognize and understand his or her own moods, desires, motivations and intentions.

<span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">These two last types of intelligence are the basics pillar in the concept of emotional intelligence that Daniel Goleman proclaims. __<span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">ORIGIN CONCEP EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE __ <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The term emotional intelligence appears in the psychological literature in 1990, in a letter of American psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer. However, it was with the publication of the book Emotional Intelligence (1995) by Daniel Goleman when the concept rapidly spread. This was soon followed by another book by the same author, with the name of Emotional Intelligence in Business (1998). <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Daniel Goleman defines this as the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and the feelings of others, motivate and manage conveniently the relationships we have with others and with ourselves. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In this definition, Goleman has considered five emotional abilities, in turn classified into two big groups: <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Self-knowledge: Consist on knowing our own internal states, preferences, resources and intuitions. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Self-regulation: Consist on manage our own internal states, impulses and resources. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">-Motivation is the emotional tendencies that guide or facilitate achieving the goals. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Empathy:This is the attraction of feelings, needs and interests. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Social skills: These are the abilities to induce the other desired responses. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We thought different activities to work all these characteristics that define emotional education. <span style="font-family: Latha,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Goleman builds his proposition emotional intelligence on the scientific findings of three principal investigators, David McClelland, Howard Gardner and Joseph LeDoux, incorporating the contributions of many other scientists such as Peter Salovey and Mihalyi Csikzentmihalyi. And therein lies his genius, to find the connection between lines of research that were not listed above, to reveal the practical implications for the general public and the business community, and communicate the message in a universal language.
