Some types of intelligence are more recognized and valued but this doesn’t mean that if you lack one of these types of intelligence makes you unintelligent. Knowing what type pf intelligence you possess is important in helping you to maximize the are of inherent intelligence and work on where you may need to possess for the development of your well-being and the society as a whole.

According to a Harvard Psychologist, Howard Gardner, written in his 1983 published book, he stated there that people do not have the capacity to possess a set of these intelligences but rather many kinds of intelligence. For instance, a person can be intellectually intelligent(IQ) and have good financial knowledge (FQ) but not so good with social interactions (SQ).

The United Nations (UN) in 2015, provided a blueprint to disseminate an urgent call for action to all countries under the UN, these are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). One of its goals is Quality Education (4), under the 4.7 Target and Indicator it also promotes the development of whole person which could also be linked to the promotion of six areas of intelligence. The Silliman University (SU) adheres to the SDG wherein students, staffs, and all the body system are encouraged and are expected to follow policies, principles, and guidelines which are SDG-based. This institution does not only aiming to teach you something everyday but also helps you build a network for your future (career). It aims not only to assess one’s IQ but help the people develop themselves in all areas of intelligence and grow as a whole person. This is the main purpose of acquiring knowledge and the application of whole person education in the lives of people.
