Multiple Intelligence - Verbal Intelligence

Let's know about all 9 intelligence factors of multiple intelligence. This is Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence (MI). But here we are also understanding Indian Philosophical views. The first and foremost being, Verbal or Linguistic intelligence(VI). It is defined as well developed verbal skills and Sensitivity to the sounds meanings and rhythms of words.  

VI is essential in Aptitude tests. Verbal skills development needs regular practice of expressing yourself, in group. To enhance this skill we usually ask for family get together sessions. At family level, if there is need of some decision making then parents must ask their pupil to speak  their views and thoughts. This helps primary development of verbal skill. Confidence and well to put words are important factors in VI. 

At school and college levels, group studies must include group discussion, this furthermore adds in skill and confidence. Small speeches at  school also add on VI. 

Now we know about how to improve verbal  skill , so let's understand next level of VI. Sensitivity to the sounds meanings is relatively more subtle and needs more emotional intelligence. Your pronunciation of sentence and your  sound conveys your meanings at superficial and deep levels. Meanings can be perceived  in two ways with way of pronounced words and sound of words. So one has to be very careful about," how I Sound". Rhythms of words are again more subtle factor of VI. Sound and Rhythm actually makes verbal skill properly aesthetic and impressive. With this one can make sound positive impact with Verbal power. 

With lack of these skills, though you may be intelligent, it may or may not be perceived by others. Indian Philosophy states very importantly here, that, your good intentions, and your good nature, purity of one's heart , naturally comes in your Total Verbal Intelligence. So be It.
