INTERPERSONAL
INTELLIGENCE
Howard Gardner’s
Multiple Intelligences
Gardner’s Definition
• Interpersonal
intelligence, (people
smart) is understanding other
people. It’s an ability
we all need, but is at
a premium if you are
a teacher, clinician,
salesperson, or a
politician. Anybody
who deals with other
people has to be
skilled in the
interpersonal
sphere.
An interpersonally
intelligent person . . .
• The ability to perceive
and make distinctions in
the moods, intentions,
motivations, and feelings
of other people. This can
include sensitivity to
facial expressions, voice,
and gestures; the
capacity for
discriminating among
many different kinds of
interpersonal cues; and
the ability to respond
effectively to those clues
in some pragmatic way.
