This chapter discussed Howard Gardner's "ninth intelligence", the existential intelligence. This intelligence is defined as someone who has "a concern with ultimate life issues". Gardner makes clear, however, that he is not propsosing an intelligence that's about spiritual, religious, or moral intelligences. One concern of this intelligence is how it would be assessed because it covers such broad concerns. The chapter also how this intelligence can be integrated into the different subjects, but that it might be more difficult to say in math than in social studies.
We thought this chapter was very interesting. A couple of us feel like we probably belong in the existential intelligence category, if it were a full one yet. This intelligence seemed like an important one to cover, perhaps some of those daydreamer students are off in their own world contemplating one of those life questions. It was interesting to see some of the ideas as to how to integrate this intelligence into different subjects.
