00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960
Hello, my wonderful people. We are in the process

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.019
of the discussion of different types of intelligence.

00:00:07.339 --> 00:00:10.919
Nine types of intelligence, which is Howard Gardner's

00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.640
model of nine types of multiple intelligences

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.260
that the human being has. And he has discussed

00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:20.059
this in the Frames of Mind book published in

00:00:20.059 --> 00:00:24.760
1983. He was a psychologist with Harvard University.

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.320
And I believe this comes closest to describing

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.699
the Vedic Astrology models of how we can find

00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:35.600
out which of the dominant nine types of intelligence

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.920
a child has, a young adult has. That's the goal.

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.439
We will get to at some stage to tie a bridge

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.539
between these nine types of intelligence and

00:00:46.539 --> 00:00:49.420
Vedic Astrology. This is the beginning just to

00:00:49.420 --> 00:00:52.200
introduce you to the types of intelligence and

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.909
what they really stand for. Now there's a whole

00:00:55.909 --> 00:00:58.729
lot of playlists on counselors tools and toolbox

00:00:58.729 --> 00:01:01.270
on my other channel link I'll leave it in the

00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:03.869
description box for all the counselor psychologists

00:01:03.869 --> 00:01:07.049
interested in having this like a tool set they

00:01:07.049 --> 00:01:10.489
already have it but this is to add any layer

00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:14.790
for it okay naturalist intelligence what is this

00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:18.129
the intelligence of classification patterning

00:01:18.129 --> 00:01:22.480
empathy for nature and systemic thinking Why

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.780
some minds understand the world through living

00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:28.620
systems and why education must catch up? Some

00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:30.680
learners process the world through equations,

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.799
some others through words, but a naturalist intelligence

00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.760
is the ability to think in categories, recognize

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.540
patterns in environments and identify subtle

00:01:40.540 --> 00:01:44.540
differences and organize reality or whatever

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:47.219
we call reality, the physical reality through

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:52.739
attributes, hierarchies and ecosystems. These

00:01:52.739 --> 00:01:55.739
are the children who notice everything. The young

00:01:55.739 --> 00:01:59.159
adults who can sort chaos into order. The individuals

00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.900
who read system the way others read books. In

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:06.980
an era of climate change, sustainability challenges,

00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:09.800
biotechnology, environment design and systems

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.039
thinking. Natural intelligence is no longer optional

00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.020
but essential in our educational curriculum.

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:23.379
So what is it? Let's define. Natural orientation,

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.699
identification with living organisms and environments.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.219
Attribute orientation, grouping of things by

00:02:30.219 --> 00:02:33.500
common features. Categorization, identifying

00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:37.099
by categories through traits. Hierarchical reasoning,

00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.960
ordering items by significance or interrelationships.

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.120
schematic memory recalling information by category

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.659
hierarchy and attributes now a lot of children

00:02:47.659 --> 00:02:51.139
coming in in the planet are autistic there's

00:02:51.139 --> 00:02:53.479
a whole another rabbit hole there I don't want

00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.780
to get into but you will find and teachers are

00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:00.000
finding and parents are finding right now that

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.800
some children are gifted with these kind of gifts

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.479
and we need to have an education system around

00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.669
that not to label them and categorize them as

00:03:09.669 --> 00:03:12.810
you know they have these terms floating around

00:03:12.810 --> 00:03:16.830
children of special needs or differently abled

00:03:16.830 --> 00:03:19.509
well all that labeling is not going to help they

00:03:19.509 --> 00:03:21.889
have a naturalist intelligence let's see what

00:03:21.889 --> 00:03:25.930
they are they are intrinsically organized they

00:03:25.930 --> 00:03:28.449
notice subtle differences in meaning sound shape

00:03:28.449 --> 00:03:32.469
or texture autistic kids are like this make collections

00:03:32.469 --> 00:03:36.490
stones leaves stamps facts and data sort and

00:03:36.490 --> 00:03:39.979
categorize materials instinctively Build systems

00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:43.120
of order wherever they go. They prefer charts,

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:47.199
timelines, tables, maps and diagrams. They internalize

00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.539
information through semantic mapping. Bring order

00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:54.379
to new concepts automatically. This intelligence

00:03:54.379 --> 00:03:57.800
isn't just love for nature. It is systemic thinking

00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.280
at its finest. So how to identify this in children?

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.259
To begin with, children who carry naturalist

00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:08.430
intelligence often sort toys, objects, books

00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:11.930
or ideas into groups. They create their own categories,

00:04:12.270 --> 00:04:14.830
small animals, funny shapes, red things, such

00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:17.750
kind of thing. Ask questions about how things

00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:20.829
are related or different. They love exploring

00:04:20.829 --> 00:04:23.569
nature, animals and outdoor environments. They

00:04:23.569 --> 00:04:26.189
collect and organize things, rocks, leaves, pictures,

00:04:26.449 --> 00:04:30.319
cards and so on. They notice details others ignore.

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.399
They use diagrams, maps and drawings to understand

00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.120
ideas. They prefer structured visuals like charts,

00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:40.639
timelines, flow diagrams. They are taxonomy thinkers.

00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:44.600
How does it appear in young adults? As they grow,

00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:49.720
naturalist intelligence matures into exceptional

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.579
organizational skills, ability to detect micro

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:56.220
-patterns and subtle variations. Natural attraction

00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:59.199
to biology, environment, ecology, agriculture,

00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.800
medicine and botany. Strong preference for data

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.980
charts, category maps and systematic representations.

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:08.920
You're getting the flow of this, I hope. Ability

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:13.139
to impose order on information rapidly. Interest

00:05:13.139 --> 00:05:16.519
in research, analysis, curation and system design.

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.980
Clear thinking through diagrams, frameworks and

00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:23.709
models. A talent for connecting nature to ideas,

00:05:23.949 --> 00:05:27.209
ethics, culture and society. These young adults

00:05:27.209 --> 00:05:30.329
excel in environmental sciences, biology and

00:05:30.329 --> 00:05:35.089
biotechnology, research and data analysis, agriculture

00:05:35.089 --> 00:05:38.490
and sustainability of environment, medicine and

00:05:38.490 --> 00:05:43.449
health care, urban planning and ecology, information

00:05:43.449 --> 00:05:46.750
architecture, conservation and wildlife work.

00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.199
system design and taxonomy based thinking. Their

00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.339
mind naturally sees structure in a living world.

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.939
They see the world as living systems. So, bottom

00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:01.420
line, what should the education systems do? How

00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:03.939
do we build this for the curriculum for these

00:06:03.939 --> 00:06:06.259
children and young adults? Obviously, we need

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:08.860
to improvise based on whatever I just spoke of

00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:10.939
and just for this intelligence, let alone the

00:06:10.939 --> 00:06:15.420
other ones I am discussing. Practical curriculum

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:18.339
engagements, what should it be for natural intelligence?

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.560
The schools must integrate, schools and colleges

00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.019
must integrate number one, graphic organizers

00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:28.680
in every subject, mind maps, Venn diagrams, taxonomies,

00:06:28.939 --> 00:06:32.379
hierarchical charts. Number two, attributes based

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:35.600
on sorting tasks, sort by size, function, type,

00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:39.399
origin and meaning across all subjects. Number

00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.019
three, categorization frameworks. Teach students

00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:44.319
to create categories, not just memorize them.

00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:46.199
We should get rid of this memorizing business

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.480
in an era of artificial intelligence, seriously.

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.879
Why do you need to memorize 101 things? Develop

00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.319
the intelligence. Number four, semantic mapping.

00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.160
Use mapping for languages, science, history,

00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.060
and even math concepts. Number five, hierarchy

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:04.180
building activities, timeline, food chains, classification

00:07:04.180 --> 00:07:07.800
of organisms, and even flow charts. Number six,

00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:09.980
collection based projects, leaf collections,

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.779
rock collections, stamp collections, data collections,

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.540
any grouping exercise that strengthens cognition.

00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:20.060
Real world connections, school gardens, outdoor

00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:23.000
observation, preserve the parks, preserve your

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.279
sidewalks, go plant trees, biodiversity walks.

00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:29.310
Environment journals, not just sitting and learning

00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:32.689
in the classroom, take them to parks. Take them

00:07:32.689 --> 00:07:35.029
to your jogging tracks. Make them plant trees.

00:07:35.069 --> 00:07:37.589
Let them get their hands dirty. They want real

00:07:37.589 --> 00:07:39.930
-world connection, not just sitting in front

00:07:39.930 --> 00:07:43.769
of a PC or a smartphone. Number eight, system

00:07:43.769 --> 00:07:46.370
-oriented thinking tasks. Teach them how small

00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:49.990
elements interact within larger systems. Portfolios

00:07:49.990 --> 00:07:52.449
of work. Let the student document progress like

00:07:52.449 --> 00:07:54.750
a scientist or naturalist. Give them projects

00:07:54.750 --> 00:07:58.910
related to nature. That's why it's called naturalist.

00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:03.029
Number 10, modeling simulations. Ecosystem models,

00:08:03.529 --> 00:08:06.050
organism interactions, organizational patterns

00:08:06.050 --> 00:08:08.209
in nature. Like I said, tell them to make little

00:08:08.209 --> 00:08:11.850
forests of their own. Diversify. Different plants,

00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:13.970
different trees, different flowering plants.

00:08:14.189 --> 00:08:17.970
Let them have a nursery in the school. They build

00:08:17.970 --> 00:08:22.589
system. They build research, analyze future environmental

00:08:22.589 --> 00:08:26.649
leaders. So the closing thought. Natural intelligence,

00:08:27.050 --> 00:08:30.230
intelligence of order, you need to be orderly

00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:34.190
here. Of systems, of patterns and complexity

00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:38.350
like nature, geology, geography, earth, of connection

00:08:38.350 --> 00:08:41.470
with the living world. Flora and fauna, earth,

00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:44.110
geology, they make that connection fantastically.

00:08:44.470 --> 00:08:47.629
So you need to build a curriculum that revolves

00:08:47.629 --> 00:08:51.049
around encouraging this kind of cognition. Not

00:08:51.049 --> 00:08:54.029
all of us have it. Well, not all of us have everything,

00:08:54.210 --> 00:08:57.389
right? So I'll leave you with this much. I'll

00:08:57.389 --> 00:09:00.409
jump on to the next intelligence in my next podcast

00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:03.370
This is for my LinkedIn newsletter. Although

00:09:03.370 --> 00:09:06.710
YouTube people can also follow this and the other

00:09:06.710 --> 00:09:10.110
one Consular stool box Okay, I'll link leave

00:09:10.110 --> 00:09:12.590
the link in the in the description box for all

00:09:12.590 --> 00:09:13.970
you guys. Take care. Be safe
