Types of Intelligence
People’s bodies come in all shapes and sizes:
- tall or short,
- thin or heavy,
- lean or muscular.
Some bodies are more suited to certain types of work than others. Some are more adept at physically demanding manual labor, others more matched to sedentary office work. Even among athletic bodies, some, for example, are more capable of weightlifting and others to long-distance running.
So, too, with people’s intelligence. Bodies come in different shapes and sizes, and the same is true of their minds:
- Some are highly intelligent, and others less so.
- Some excel in mathematics.
- Others are more geared toward the written word.
- Others to the spoken word.
- And still others in music or art.
None are better or worse than any other. None are right, and none are wrong. They are simply different.
So, why focus on only one measure of intelligence, the Intelligence Quotient (IQ)?
If we are willing to accept that some body types are better at certain sports or physical activities than others, why do we expect all people’s minds to be equally adept at all intellectual tasks?
This workshop will:
- Introduce different Types of Intelligence
- Explain each type's strengths.
- Discuss possible careers and professions to which people with each type may gravitate.
- Investigate whether people can excel in only one type of intelligence or shine in multiple types of intelligence.
Think about “World Class” Athletes for a moment.
How many can you think of who excel in multiple sports?
Sure, there are a small handful who compete in Pentathlons or Decathlons. But the vast majority focus on a single or a few related sports. Why? Afterall athletic is athletic, isn’t it? Why focus on a single athletic event or competition?
Why, then, do we think that “intelligence is intelligence?” Why so reluctant to recognize that there is more than a single type of intelligence. There are, in fact, at least eight unique types of intelligence that have been identified.
This workshop/presentation will introduce these Types of intelligence.
Everyone could benefit from understanding the types of intelligence and how your type of intelligence could affect your life, career, and family and social interactions.
This should be of particular interest to parents of school age (Pre-K through 12 and beyond) children to help understand your child’s particular talents and assist them in using, and benefiting from, those talents.
Or you may simply want to learn more for your own personal growth and edification.

Frequently asked questions
Not recommended. The workshop is designed for adults to be able to assist their children and for the adults’ own self-edification and education. It is up to the parent to determine how much of the course content to share with their child. Handouts of the material covered will be provided.
Yes. It is highly recommended that both parents attend. To encourage both parents to attend, I am offering a number of two-for-the price of one (2 for 1) registrations.
Grandparents and others will also learn from this and may, if the parent wishes, be able to support the parents in assisting their children. And grandparents and other family members may learn for their own self-edification.
Yes. This workshop can be of value to everyone who is interested in continuing their education, even if only for self-edification and personal enrichment. Individuals, or couples, without children are welcome to attend. They may learn more about their strengths. And they may just enjoy the event.
No. I have always found lectures where the presenter drones on and on to be boring and difficult to stay focused and to pay attention. So, I attempt to avoid doing the same thing. I make my workshops and presentations as interactive as possible and encourage attendee questions and participation.
I encourage questions and discussion with the presenter and other attendees, as long as we remain on topic and keep aware of the constraints of the time available. Also included are several fun quizzes and activities for attendees to participate in, for fun not for grading.
Yes. Refreshments will be provided. Only non- alcoholic beverages are provided.
There is free parking behind the Lodge building. When turning into the Lodge driveway from 27 Mile Road, continue along the right (west) side of the building to the parking lot.
No. As with all Masonic lodges, and many other organizations, portions of the Lodge building are not open to the general public. Portions of this building are only available to Masons. It is requested that you honor those restrictions.
