Multiple Intelligences
"Multiple intelligences states that not only do human beings have many different ways to learn and process information, but that these are independent of each other: leading to multiple "intelligences" as opposed to a general intelligence factor among correlated abilities. In 1999 Gardner currently lists eight intelligences as linguistic, logic-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, naturalist, interpersonal and intrapersonal. Gardner is still considering a ninth, or existential intelligence, but has not added it yet".(Smith, 2008)

2. Intra-personal- Assessing your own moods,motivations,desires and intentions.
3. Verbal Linguistic-The ability to analyze information and produce works that involve speech.
4. Logical Mathematical - The ability to perform math problems such as formulating equations, analyzing proofs and making calculations.
5. Visual Spatial- The ability to understand information from maps and other forms of geographical information.
6. Musical Intelligence-The ability to produce and understand various sounds.
7. Natural Intelligence- The ability to identify and to make distinctions between different types of plants,animals, weather and other entities that is
related to nature.
8. Body Kinesthetic- Using ones own body to create products and to solve problems.

KOLBS and Experimental Learning
Kolbs Experimental Learning Cycle
1. Concrete Experience - Individuals experience new experiences.
2. Reflective Observation- Of the new experience. Of particular importance are any inconsistencies between experience and understanding.
3. Abstract Conceptualisation- Reflections bring forth new ideas and new concepts.
4. Active Experimentation- Learner applies what he/she from results from a study.project or an experiment or an activity.
