Good morning LinkedIn world YouTube world everybody
else even the Spotify and podcast world. Okay,
so continuing our discussion of intelligence
type measurement, which we are basing our studies
here in from the book frames of mind pushed in
1983 by Our Harvard Institute psychologist, Howard
Gardner, I believe this is a kind of a holistic
model in intelligence assessment, which we don't
do in a typical STEM education or, you know,
all these psychological modeling tests that we
conduct are all bogus. They don't consider the
different types of dimensions, the complexity
of the human mind and what it... really contains.
We haven't even understood the brain fully yet,
let alone other things. Later on, I shall be
tying into Vedic Astrology and I have given a
hint there, as you can see, the planets which
are responsible for this. Vedic Astrology part
comes later. Let me just give you in this one
the introduction to visual intelligence. What
is visual intelligence? It is the intelligence
of imagination, spatial reasoning and design
thinking. Why visual wide learners are untapped
innovators of the future. Some people think in
words, some people think in sounds. But visually
intelligent minds think in terms of imagery.
They see the possibilities before they exist.
They understand patterns without explanation.
and process the world through form, space, symmetry,
color and design. This is a brain which functions
completely different, isn't it? And we are trying
to process these brains by putting them in some
corporate bullshit structure. Never mind. Back
to, this is visual intelligence. Visual intelligence
includes spatial awareness, solving problems
through spatial orientation, non -sequential
reasoning, think divergently rather than linearly,
think like planar rather than line. Visual acuity,
making judgments based on aesthetics and design
principles, sort of they have an eye for symmetry,
they have an eye for details. Visual details.
Imagination. Seeing possibilities before the
physical execution. Something like Michelangelo.
He saw the statue of David in a solid block of
marble before there was anything else. You see
the final product. That's a highly visually developed
mind. We need to cultivate those. We need to
check if our children have those, if our young
people have those and cultivate those rather
than putting them as an accountant in some institute.
Small motor coordination is also part of them,
building, arranging and creating and designing.
I shall leave the full transcript in the LinkedIn
newsletter if you want to share this. Students
with strong visual intelligence seek visual stimulation,
respond deeply to color, line, shape and symmetry.
They think in pictures rather than sentences.
They retain memory through visual imagery. Rearrange
their environment to improve flow. They enjoy
creating art, models, visual concepts, even architects.
Architects come out of this. They make fantastic
architects if they have talent in this area.
Grasp ideas faster when they can see them. They
manipulate 3D structures mentally. This is a
kind of intelligence. We don't recognize this
very well in the current quote -unquote civilization.
How to identify visual intelligence in children?
Draw or doodle constantly. Encourage the children
in classrooms, teachers, if you're listening
to this. Build structures with blocks, clay or
objects. Notice shapes, patterns and colors which
normal people overlook. Rearrange their room
and belongings creatively. Understand puzzles,
mazes or maps intuitively. Imagine stories visually
before they can articulate them. These are the
exercises that you can do in the classroom. Now,
in young adults it appears sort of little differently,
you might say. Strong visualization. Visualization
skills in planning and strategy, ability to diagram
complex concepts into simple visuals, something
like brain mapping, mind mapping tools, for example.
Preference for visual learning, mind maps, diagrams
and prototypes, there you are. Exceptional pattern
recognition, sensitivity to design, layout and
aesthetics, creativity, product design, branding,
architecture, UX, UI, video editing and so on.
ability to think in systems and structures, strong
problem solving when they can visualize it. Everything
has to do with visual for these young adults.
These learners thrive in fields such as architecture,
design, graphic, product, industrial, fashion
and so on. Engineering design when it's required,
specifically in civil engineering I would think.
Data visualization, UX, UI, film and photography
and animation, urban planning, so important cities
are just a congested mess these days creative
technology so what should education systems do
you might ask okay education systems obviously
it begins there so in the curriculum you should
number one include visually stimulating classrooms
color shape structure diagrams visual anchors
that spark imagination number two Movement -based
spatial learning. Let students walk, rotate,
build, interact. Teach them to dance. Get a little
kinesthetic about it. Pre -sketching before work.
Plans, doodles, concept sketches, visual minds
need pre -visualization. Guided imagery exercises.
Before teaching abstract ideas, ask students
to imagine and describe them. Brainstorming with
mind maps. Manipulative tools, blocks, models
and prototypes. This needs to be encouraged.
How much are we doing this in our curriculum?
Honestly, leave your comment. Diagramming, abstract
concepts, math, science, history, literature,
everything can be visualized, especially with
tools like artificial intelligence. Now we have
everything can be visualized to the last detail,
isn't it? Visual performance assessments, poster
design, visual storytelling, conceptual diagrams.
technology that enhances visual learning, digital
design tools, presentation tools, drawing tablets
and visual coding. So I'll leave this in the,
this entire test on the LinkedIn newsletter for
all those watching on my YouTube channel. If
you're wondering what this is, we are trying
to map the different types, nine types of different
intelligences that we humans have in various
proportions. We might have all of them, but in
different degrees really. And we'll tie back
later into Vedic Astrology and can we tell the
type of intelligence a child has, that's why
I stuck the picture of children there, beautiful
kids, and how we can map them and put them in
the right place where they can shine, not where
they feel congested and contracted. That's not
the whole idea anyway, which we are currently
doing. We are putting them into tight boxes where
they don't fit. and therefore there is unrest,
therefore there is rebellion, therefore there
is all kinds of hopeless things happening in
terms of talent not being utilized properly.
I'll see you in the next. Take care. Be safe.
