The adoption of the MI theory to education has been uniquely framed in the following approach:
A broader view of education
The seven aspects of intelligence are important for an individual to have a good life. It is therefore important for educators to include aspects of all the forms of intelligence when dispensing knowledge to their student. This is in opposition to the use of the first two forms of intelligences that they have traditionally placed their focus on. Kornhaber (2001) clearly noted that the process of applying MI theory to education must involve the application of the theory by educators in an approach he referred to as 'for depth over breadth' technique. This involves the application of acquired knowledge in another setting.
The use of these principles are based on the notion of allowing individuals to be encouraged to make use of their preferred intelligence in the process of learning.These other principle that must be applied in the MI theory's application to the educational sector is the framing of the educational activities to appeal to the various forms of intelligence. The third point that should be adopted in order to successfully implement the MI theory to the educational sector is the assessment of the outcome of learning processes in terms of a measure of various forms of intelligence.

Multiple Intelligence Theory
Intelligence is defined as the capability to learn and apply knowledge. The ability for an individual to benefit from past experiences, solve problems, act purposely, and adapt to new situations are included in intelligence (Passmore, Tong, & Wildflower, 2011). Intelligence is amongst the highly talked about subjects in psychology, but there has not been a standard definition of what precisely forms intelligence. There have been two different definitions from researchers

Potentially, after identifying these intelligences in each student, the teacher would then be more capable of enhancing these intelligences and in effect, inducing learner within each student the motivation to excel in school, using the strength of their intelligences. Recognition of students' multiple intelligences would make teacher-student interaction within the classroom more dynamic: learning would be more understandable and 'attractive' for students and the teacher would have effective communication

Multiple Intelligences Inventory: Reflection Prior
Similarly, I was also surprised that I scored highly on existential intelligence, since, like my score in intrapersonal intelligence, I do not consider myself an individual who actually thinks and reflects about life deeply, more so myself. But I somewhat agree to this as potentially a current reflection of my disposition in life at the moment, since I am currently at the stage of my life where I am

The language of the American colonists was highly colorful but quite formal in style, and the presentation of a speech or a content analysis of primary sources would provide elementary school students with an opportunity to experience these fundamental differences for themselves, all with a view toward improving their understanding of what life in Colonial America was really like. 2.

intelligence theories of Charles Spearman and Howard Gardner. There were three sources used to complete this paper. There have been many ideas presented to the world about the theory or intelligence and while some of them have received lukewarm reviews there are two in which the world took a long hard look and decided they might be possible. It is interesting to note that the theories of Charles Spearman and
