Multiple Intelligences & Higher-Level Thinking

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory and Dr. Bloom's Taxonomy of higher-level thinking have greatly influenced how I teach and assess my students. If you aren't familiar with these, do yourself a favor and at least take a brief look at them. They will at least help you better understand each person's unique strengths and the characteristics of a critical thinker.

Being a visual learner, here is a diagram for each idea, as well as a link if you want to learn more:
