What does it mean to be “intelligent”? We typically define intelligence in terms of intellectual ability, as evidenced by grades, IQ, or other measurements. But today’s guest helps us understand the theory of multiple intelligences. This is a critical concept for those of us in creative fields because it’s a reminder that people can be smart in a variety of ways.

My guest today is Carrie Naglak, who is an educator with many years of experience thinking about and studying multiple intelligences and related issues. I first became aware of Carrie’s interest in this topic when she was helping my college with assessment. I was impressed with the depth of her knowledge and wanted to explore these issues further here on the podcast.

In our conversation, we talk about a variety of topics related to multiple intelligences, including how it affects our creativity. This is one of those mind-bending episodes that makes you realize how much you still have to learn!

Thanks for Listening!
