Kinaesthetic Intelligence
|
| | Kinaesthetic learners benefit from physical experiences such as touching, feeling, holding, doing, and getting practical hands-on experiences. Some Kinaesthetic learners may be labelled as hyperactive or been told they have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Effective teaching methods for this condition may include activities focused on using physical energy and curiosity.
Everyone is kinaesthetic (Body-Smart), but some more than others.
Body-Smart people learn best by actively using their body to learn. Good Body-Smart people also require the careful and quick coordination of joints, muscles, nerves and other body parts too. Being Body-Smart is about thinking and feeling through touch and movement, as well as having the skill to enjoy lots of sports and physical activity.
If you are Kinaesthetic you might use be good at sport, acting or dancing. Maybe you use your Body-Smart to do more hand orientated activities, like crafts, fixing things, sculpting or performing magic tricks?
You don’t have to be a competitive person, but just enjoy how different activities give you the chance to have fun, stretch and play.
You are likely to move around a lot, finding the hands-on approach to learning best and enjoying lots of interactivity. Some may have even described you as ‘a touchy-feely’ person.
You also have very good hand-eye coordination and find it easy to play ball games or balance well. You also manage to pick up the controls to new computer games quite quickly.
A lot of Body-Smart children may have a hard time concentrating at school as a lot of teachers teach mostly using words and numbers. Some Body-Smart kids may have been told they are hyperactive or even have Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D).
Having so much energy and little break time at school can leave you fidgety, irritable and easily bored so it might be a good idea to use your natural Body-Smart skills to help you learn. Both Jim Carey and Michael Jordan had A.D.D, so it’s not such a bad thing, you just some idea of how to use it to your advantage.
