📄[Reflection]: Whole Person Education and Multiple Intelligence

When we talk of intelligence we often associate this with how well a person does on a test, their overall grade in a semester, or how adept they are in answering questions in a time-constrained environment. Though that isn’t entirely wrong, we have to understand that this only encapsulates part of one’s overall intelligence. The best way to see “Whole Person Education and Multiple Intelligence” is that it is about nurturing, cultivating, and shaping all and every aspect of an individual, not just their performance in the classroom. As mentioned in KnewSTEP, the development of a person is multidimensional, and as such, a holistic understanding of their proficiency in the six areas of intelligence development including IQ (Intelligence Quotient), EQ (Emotional Intelligence), SQ (Social Intelligence), AQ (Adversity Intelligence), CQ (Cultural Intelligence) and FQ (Financial Intelligence), is crucial to comprehensively assess where one needs further improvement on. Thus, Whole Person Education and gaining an understanding of Multiple intelligences is a holistic approach to development including all and every aspect that intermingles in one’s life to bring out the best in a person and better ready them to face life head-on.
