Intrapersonal Intelligence

Intrapersonal Intelligence entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one's feelings, fears and motivations. In Howard Gardner's view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.

I think that as a teacher developing thsi intelligence should be one of our highest priorities. Students, especiall Stage 4 students are on a constant struggle to independantly figure out this intelligence. they are striving for identity, freedom and purppose.

It should be a teachers priority to nuture, feed and drive this growth as undefined human beings will undertake no real learning, input or purpose within themselves.
