Multiple Intelligences and Personality Type : Tools and Strategies for Developing Human Potential

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Guide for Continued Personal Development
Review: Dario Nardi's "Multiple Intelligences and Personality Type" represents a comprehensive look at the concept of intelligence through three sections and provides great "workbook-style" exercises for personal reflection. The first, personality and intelligence explores eight styles of personality type (Keirsey Four Temperaments taken a step further) and gives real-life character descriptions to provide concrete examples of those types. The second sectionon Multiple Intelligences, explores Howard Gardner's eight intelligences and gives you two different exercises to find out your strength in that intelligence---these are worth the price of the book. The third section, Intelligence and Conciousness, Dr. Nardi explores intelligence from a unique perspective--through the understanding of the different concious and unconcious perspectives people go to for analysis and learning. This section is complex, but is accompanied by exercises that put the learning to use and makes the information easier to grasp. I would say that anyone interested in personality and personal development should purchase this book. It seems like a great book for counselors, coaches--or the like--that need material to help people build interpersonal and intrapersonal skills for furthering their growth and development. I would like to see what others thought about this book---so if you have read it, let everyone know what you think--Thanks!
