Introduction to Dermatoglyphics
Dermatoglyphics Mulitple Intelligence test (D.M.I.T.) is a scientific study of
fingerprint patterns that helps in understanding an individuals potential and personality. D.M.I.
Assessment technique has been developed by scientists and research experts from World
renowned universities and is based on knowledge from Genetics, Embryology,
Dermatoglyphics, Psychology and Neuroscience. The study of Dermatoglyphics is more than
200 years old. In former USSR, it was used to find talented sportsmen for Olympic Games of
1970s. As it turned out, the USSR took home 50 gold medals in 1972 and 125 in 1976. By the
1980s, China had also adopted the Russian method.
Medical experts, with observation, recording, comparison, induction and clinical experiences,
confirmed that fingerprints provide accurate analysis of a persons Multiple Intelligences and
potential. Traditionally, IQ is used as a measurement tool of ones level of intelligence. Dr.
Howard Gardner introduced in his book, Frames of Mind, that man has at least 9 intelligences,
and everyone has different proportions of these intelligences. We are able to discover our
congenital intelligence, character traits and unknown potential through Dermatoglyphics.
Advanced countries such as USA, Japan and Taiwan have adopted dermatoglyphics technology
in the field of education, human resource management, recruitment and even identifying gifted
children. The DMI test has also helped lakhs of students in China, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan & India for the past 10 years and is continuing to do so
successfully.
The word dermatoglyphics comes from two Greek words (derma = skin and glyphe = curve) and
refers to the friction ridge formations which appear on the finger prints, palms of the hands and
soles of the feet. Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of fingerprints. Fingerprints or dermal
ridge patterns are unique to each individual, and there are even differences between identical
twins. By determining the form and different types of patterns on the fingers this information
can be used to help determine your intrinsic potential.Many research papers have elaborated
on the link between finger print patterns and different diseases and psychological conditions.
Further studies aroused educators interest in establishing a link between fingerprint pattern
distribution and innate intelligence potential distributions.
Dermatoglyphics Analysis is an integration of neuroscience, medicine, genetics, psychology and
behavioral science and it is based on the formation and the amount of ridges present on the
finger prints. Fingerprints are usually formed during the 13th to 19th week of an embryo. They
begin to develop in the embryo in the 13th week, and it is are formed by the 24th week. It is
closely related to the infants brain development. The distribution of prints is considered to
represent brain cells proportion and distribution in each of the brain lobes.
According to European and American experts, fingerprints show different kinds of
characteristics, even with monozygotic (identical) twins.

Experts who study dermatoglyphics believe that fingerprints (dermatoglyphy) were marks of
embryonic nerves, which may reflect ones genetic potential. Statistics show that the accuracy
rate of dermatoglyphics analysis can be up to 90%.
Dermatoglyphics has a rich and scientific history of over 350 years and has documentation of
research data and results dated 200 years back. Dr. Harold Cummins is acknowledged as the
Father of Dermatoglyphics. He studied all aspects of finger print analysis in fields as varied as
anthropology, embryology and genetics. His famous Down Syndrome studies accurately
predicted the genetic link to the disease upon study of finger print patterns and the Simian
crease.
The findings revealed that most children with learning difficulties have different fingerprints
compared to normal children. Since each persons fingerprints are unique, we can understand
ones innate potential, personality, and preferences by analyzing dermatoglyphic patterns. The
Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligences Test helps parents to identify their childs potential at
an early age and provide guidance accordingly to help expand their potential.

Brain Lobes
The cerebral cortex can be divided into four sections, which are known as lobes (see image
above). The Frontal lobe, Parietal lobe, Occipital lobe and Temporal lobe have been associated
with different functions ranging from reasoning to auditory perception.
1) The Frontal lobe (mainly used in Thinking and Imagination) is located at the front of the brain
and is associated with reasoning, problem solving, Logical thinking, computation process,
Rationalization, Linguistic function, Visual spatial imagination, idea formation and
conceptualization. At the back of the frontal lobe, near the central sulcus, lies the motor cortex.
This area of the brain receives information from various lobes of the brain and utilizes this
information to carry out body movements.
Left Frontal lobe handles :
- Logical Reasoning, Computation Process, Analysis, Conceptual Understanding, Numeric,
Grammar and Linguistic
Right Frontal lobe handles :
- Imagination, Idea formation, Visualization, 3D, Visual Spatial Ability
The Prefrontal lobe (denotes Mental Ability) The anterior (front) portion of the frontal lobe is
called the prefrontal cortex. It is very important for the "higher cognitive functions" and the
determination of the personality. It assists in planning, management, communication,
coordinating, controlling our behaviour and emotions. It also regulates our creative ability,
leadership qualities, intuition and visualization.
Left Prefrontal lobe handles :
- Rational Thinking, Planning, Coordinating, Controlling, Executing Behavior, Self Achievement
Motive, Communication
Right Prefrontal lobe handles :
- Leadership, Interpersonal, Creativity, Goal Visualization, Determination, Self Esteem, Intuition
2) The occipital lobe (mainly used in Visual Perception) is located at the back portion of the
brain and is associated with interpreting visual stimuli and information. The primary visual
cortex, which receives and interprets information from the retinas of the eyes, is located in the
occipital lobe. The left part controls Visual Identification, observation and Reading
comprehension and the right part controls visual and image appreciation ability
Left Occipital lobe handles :
- Visual Identification, Interpretation, Reading, Observation
Right Occipital lobe handles :
Visualization, Visual Appreciation, Art, Aesthetic Sense

3) The parietal lobe (governing Kinesthetic Ability) is located in the middle section of the brain
and is associated with processing tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain.
A portion of the brain known as the somatosensory cortex is located in this lobe and is essential
to the processing of the body's senses. It is responsible for Movement differentiation, Physical
Movements, Operation understanding, Bodily mobility, rhythmic movement, muscle
coordination & Physical appreciation.
Left Parietal lobe handles :
- Fine Motor Skills, Action Identification, Control of Body Movements
-

Right Parietal lobe handles :

Gross Motor Skills, Body Movement and Sense

4) The Temporal Lobe (governing Auditory Perception) is located on the bottom section of the
brain. This lobe is also the location of the primary auditory cortex, which is important for
interpreting sounds and the language we hear. The hippocampus is also located in the temporal
lobe, which is why this portion of the brain is also heavily associated with the formation of
memories. The left part controls Phonics differentiation, Language understanding & Sound
Identification ability and the right part controls auditory and music appreciation ability.
Left Temporal lobe handles :
Language Ability, Language Understanding, Audio Identification, Memory Ability

Right Temporal lobe handles :

- Music , Emotions, Feelings

Brain Lobes and their Unique Abilities

Medical research has shown that a newborn has approximately 14 billion brain cells. This shows
little difference from an adults total.
Further studies have also revealed that 60% of the cells are developed before the age of 3 and
80% before the age of 8. Therefore, it is imperative to develop these cerebral cells during the
foetus state and follow through the postnatal period; providing a conducive environment to
influence the development to achieve the full cerebral potential.
The development of intellect potential is a complex process. It is not how many cells there are
but rather the interconnectivity of these cells in the whole cerebral network.
Only 5% of the hundreds of millions of brain cells are probably developed. This leaves the other
95% untapped. Therefore, the development potential is unlimited.

Left / Right Brain Bias
Scientists have explained that there are two halves of the brain, a right hemisphere and a left
hemisphere. As the nerve fibers leave our brain, they cross over from one side to the other.
This means that the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and the left side of
the brain controls the right side of the body.
Theories suggest that left-brain people respond in sequential, logical ways and this group of
people are strong in math and science, and can answer questions quickly.
Most people in modern world operate as left-brain people due to the education system in
school which focuses on left brain training
On the contrary, right-brain people are dreamers who are led by intuition and creativity. Right
brainers think deeply and may have high level of intelligence. Right brainers make great
students of arts and social science. Besides being more spontaneous than the conservative leftbrainers, right brainers are intuitive and prefer to follow their own gut feelings when it comes
to decision making.At www.drhappylife.org we consider all factors.
In the 19th century, research on people with certain brain injuries, made it possible to suspect
that the "language center" in the brain was commonly situated in the left hemisphere. One had
observed that people with lesions in two specific areas on the left hemisphere lost their ability
to talk, for example.
The final evidence for this, however, came from the famous studies carried out in the 1960s
by Roger Sperry and his colleagues.
The results of these studies later led to Roger Sperry being awarded the Nobel Prize
in Physiology or Medicine in 1981.
Sperry received the prize for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the
cerebral hemispheres. With the help of so-called "split brain" patients, he carried out these
experiments, and for the first time in history, knowledge about the left and right hemispheres
was revealed.
What came out of his experiments?
The studies demonstrated that the left and right hemispheres are specialized in different tasks.
The left side of the brain is normally specialized in taking care of the logical, factual, analytical
and verbal tasks. The left side speaks much better than the right side, while the right half takes
care of the space perception tasks and music, creativity and emotions, for example.

The right hemisphere is involved when you are making a map or giving directions on how to get
to your home from the bus station. The right hemisphere can only produce rudimentary words
and phrases, but contributes emotional context to language. Without the help from the right
hemisphere, you would be able to read a word for instance, but you wouldn't be able to
imagine what it is.
Advantages of using both sides of the brain
If your left brain is the dominant part of your
brain you may have problems thinking in a
creative way or in being intuitive while if your right brain was the dominant part you may have
problems planning your life or thinking logically. By learning how to use both sides of your brain
you will have the advantages of both sides while each side will eliminate the disadvantages of
the other side.
How to use both sides of your brain if you are left brained

Avoid using too much of logic: If you were thinking of a problem or if you were about to take a
decision then avoid using logic only, dont just try to gather information in an overly intensive
way, instead gather as much information as you can then take the decision based on the
available information even if it seemed incomplete, in that case your left brain will use the
information while the intuition of your right brain will compensate for the missing information
Use images and visualization: While studying or reading try to draw images or to visualize the
situation, by using both the visual images and the written text you will be training both sides of
your brain to work together
Listen to music: While reading try to listen to music in order to allow the right brain to get
involved
Find any hobby that requires creativity: Try to find if you are interested in drawing, painting or
writing poems, cultivate any hobby that requires creativity, it can help you to train your right
brain
Break the routine: If you were an accountant who always works with numbers each day from 9
to 5 then you may lose all of your creative abilities, try to break this routine by doing something
random in between, try to go the beach and sit in front of the sea to think randomly, try to
close your eyes then imagine your future or imagine anything that you would like, just break
that routine using any method that you can think of.
How to use both sides of your brain if you are Right brained

Look for details: Try to make decisions by looking at a situation from all angles rather than just
looking at the whole picture, gather all the facts and figures and analyze your problem
objectively.
Set your goals: Try to make schedules and follow them, set goals and record your progress in a
journal, if you already have goals try to write them down, and if they are long term, divide them
into smaller short term achievable goals. At www.drhappylife.org we will guide you on the
above.

Play strategy games: Involve yourself in any strategy games that interests you, like chess for
example, these types of games stress on the left brain functions and allows you to use both
sides of your brain.
Work with numbers: You should feel good while studying accounting or mathematics because
you will be training your left brain thereby increasing your ability to use your whole brain, try
not to avoid numbers because they can help you in developing both hemispheres.
Can we increase the intelligence of a child? The answer is definitely, "Yes!"
A child's intelligence can be strengthened and enhanced by increasing their brainpower, their
memory and their ability to think while solving problems and encouraging them to play some
brain teasers. Environment can shape as much as 80% of a child's intelligence.
By age six, the brain is already 95 percent of its adult size. But the gray matter, or thinking part
of the brain, continues to thicken throughout childhood as the brain cells get extra connections,
much like a tree growing extra branches, twigs and roots. "Use it or lose it" principle very
clearly explains that the brain cells and connections that are used will survive and flourish.
Those cells and connections that are not used will wither and die. So if a child is doing music or
sports or academics, those are the cells and connections that will be hard-wired. If they're lying
on the couch or playing video games or MTV, those are the cells and connections that are going
to survive.
Schools need to give equal emphasis to arts, creativity, and the skills of imagination and
synthesis.
The development of the human brain occurs rapidly in the first years of life and continues at a
slower pace into adolescence. The major steps involved in brain development, both before and
after birth, play important roles in psychological development. In order to mould a child
effectively, perhaps parents and teachers need to know the following stages of brain
development:

Human brain will develop rapidly soon after birth.

Between the ages of 3-4, about 70% of the brain is developed.
Once they reach their years 10-11, almost 90% of the brain is developed.
Just before they reach their adulthood of 20 years their brain would have reached full
development.
Instruction: To foster a more whole-brained scholastic experience, teachers should use
instruction techniques that connect with both sides of the brain. They can increase their
classrooms right-brain learning activities by incorporating more patterning, metaphors,
analogies, role playing, visuals and movement into their reading, calculation and analytical
activities. Follow these tips at www.drhappylife.org

Assessment: For a more accurate whole-brained evaluation of student learning, educators
must develop new forms of assessment that also honour right-brained talents and skills.
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however,
are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes.

In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain
ones.
Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.
Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

Analysis of TRC (Congenital Learning Potential)

It measures a persons inborn potential for a focus or multidisciplinary learning and
development. The brain is mainly made up of neurons. Dendrites and axons, which are
extensions of neurons in charge of transmission of information, determine the development of
intelligence.
Focus Learning- (TRC 60-140)
The learning pace of this group of learners is normal and their short term memory is good.
They are suitable for focus learning and should become expert in certain areas of their interest
rather than multitasking and learning too many things at one point of time.
Suggestions:
- Parents should provide them with adequate amount of quality learning materials and enhance
their interest in learning to help them develop their potential and become high achievers.
- Help them in organizing their time and focus on one thing at a time
- Be patient and systematic with these children, especially when starting something new, start
small and make the learning a step-by-step process. Some quick wins and the feeling of success
from the start can really motivate them to put in their best.

- Not suitable for complex and multiple tasks and dealing with too many assignments.
- Their preferred learning styles should be used to accelerate learning
Multi-disciplinary Learning- (TRC 141-180)
They have potential for multi-disciplinary learning and can engage themselves in extracurricular
activities and multiple courses.
Suggestions:
- These learners will do well in challenging, competitive and stimulating environments. They
need to learn to be more attentive and focused in order to excel in certain area of
specialization.
- Encourage them to join activities that they are interested in
- Let them switch over to variety of subjects after short duration as they may find it difficult to
focus on one subject for a long time.
- Divide the learning contents in different parts and then study for short intervals with frequent
breaks.
High Multi-disciplinary Learning- (TRC above 181 - 220)
They have potential for very high multi-disciplinary and accelerated learning and development
if proper training and stimulating environment is provided.
Suggestions:
- These learners can engage themselves in advanced courses and extracurricular activities to
avoid mundane learning.
- They are more suitable for complex and challenging jobs than routine activities.
- Their energies should be channelized in constructive and varied activities
- Provide challenging stretching work, projects, career development, responsibilities, or these
people are likely to lose interest
- Give appropriately stretching coaching, mentoring, training.
- Explore and encourage leadership and role-model opportunities, to set and raise standards for
such children

Unlimited Potential (TRC above 220)
These people have the characteristics of unlimited learning potential and their talents should
be channelized by giving them proper training and education.
"...children who by virtue of outstanding abilities are capable of high performance. These are
children whose potential can be realized through differentiated educational programs and/or
services beyond those normally provided by the regular school program. Children capable of
high performance include those with demonstrated achievement or potential ability in any of
the following areas, singly or in combination: general intellectual ability, specific academic
aptitude, creative or productive thinking, leadership ability, visual and performing arts."
Suggestions:
- Their individual abilities, unique characteristics and unlimited potential should be given
opportunities to grow in these areas and realize their fullest potential.
- Explore ways to utilize and develop identified potential via fitting tasks and responsibilities,
linked with and perhaps dependent on performance improvement.

Even if low TRC we can give menthods to improve at Dr Happy LIfe.

Prof. Howard Gardner & M.I. Theory
Intelligence is the capacity to do something useful in the society in which we live. Intelligence is
the ability to respond successfully to new situations and the capacity to learn from ones past
experiences.
-Dr. Howard Gardner, Author, Frames of Mind and Multiple Intelligences
Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of cognition and education at the Harvard Graduate School of
Education, developed his theory of Multiple Intelligences in 1983. Simply put, Dr. Gardner
posits that people employ several different types of intelligence, rather than one general type.
This theory aroused and attracted the warm response from the whole world, especially in the
Education and Psychology arena.
Actually, no one uses just one type of intelligence; we all use several in our daily lives. Some are
stronger than others for each person. Dr. Howard Gardner says that our schools and culture
focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical - mathematical intelligence. We esteem
the highly articulate or logical people of our culture. However, Dr. Gardner says that we should
also place equal attention on individuals who show gifts in other intelligences: the artists,
architects, musicians, naturalists, designers, dancers, therapists, entrepreneurs and others who
enrich the world in which we live.
Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts dont receive much reinforcement for them
in school. Many of these kids, in fact, end up being labelled learning disabled, having ADD
(attention deficit disorder) or simply underachievers. when their unique ways of thinking and
learning arent addressed by a heavily linguistic or logical - mathematical classroom.
The good news is that the theory of multiple intelligence has grabbed the attention of many
educators around the world, and hundreds of schools are currently using its philosophy to
redesign the way it educates children.
Reasoning behind Gardners Theory

Individuals should be encouraged to use their preferred intelligences in learning.

Instructional activities should appeal to different forms of intelligence.
Assessment of learning should measure multiple forms of intelligence. (Gardner)
According to Gardner
All human beings possess all nine intelligences in varying amounts.
Each person has a different intellectual composition.
We can improve education by addressing the multiple intelligences of our students.
These intelligences are located in different areas of the brain and can either work

Musical Intelligence
Music is the universal language of mankind. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Music smarts (or musical intelligence) is the ability to perceive, discriminate, transform and
express musical forms. This includes being sensitive to rhythm, pitch, melody and timbre of
music. In other words, people who have highly developed music smarts tend to love music and
rhythmic sounds. They interact with their environment through sound and vibration. Because
various sounds have a heightened effect on them, they are good at any occupation that
requires sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, and melody.
Study Skills for Music Smarts
People with music smarts learn best when they are able to use their senses of rhythm, melody
and harmony. They enjoy lectures and presentations that incorporate music and other tonal
elements. They enjoy creating and writing songs. They learn from performing and hearing
others perform, and do their best work with music playing in the background. If youre music
smart, these activities can help you study:

create a song or rhyme that will help you remember a concept

listen to classical music (music without words) while you study
remember vocabulary words by linking them to similar-sounding words in your mind
develop a chant or beat a rhythm to memorize facts
create a mnemonic device to remember a group of information

Workplace Skills for Music Smarts

Use computers and synthesizers to compose, orchestrate, and arrange music.
Guide musicians during rehearsals, performances, and recording sessions.
Provide the musical background for live shows such as ballets, operas, musical theatre.
Focus on a single source of sound in the presence of other distracting sounds or tell the
differences between sounds that vary in pitch and loudness.

Career Smart for Musical Intelligence

I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much
with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman]
whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any
use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his
[her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and
spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melt away.

IQ, EQ, AQ, CQ, SQ QUOTIENTS
IQ : Intelligence Quotient consists of Logical-Mathematical & Linguistic Intelligences
EQ : Emotional Quotient consists of Intra-Personal & Inter-Personal Intelligences
AQ : Adversity Quotient consists of Bodily-Kinesthetic & Naturalistic Intelligences
CQ : Creativity Quotient consists of Visual-Spatial & Musical Intelligences
SQ : Spiritual Quotient consists of Existential Intelligence
According to renowned psychologists, IQ contributes only about 20 percent to the factors that
determine life success, which leaves 80 per cent to other forces. Solving logical or strategic
problems involves the use of rational intelligence and is termed as "Intelligence Quotient (IQ)".
Initially only verbal and mathematical-logical capabilities were considered intelligence. Howard
Gardner's 1983 book ``Frames of Mind'' refuted the narrow IQ view and extended the concept
to include spatial capacity, physical fluidity, musical capability, inter-personal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence etc.
IQ measures the ability to grasp, retain and recall factual knowledge.
Emotional Intelligence, EQ, measures the ability to understand and maturely manage people
and challenges.
Spiritual Intelligence, SQ, expands the horizon beyond the ego. It attunes one to a larger circle
of awareness and influence. They argue that the SQ is the basic foundation for an effective use
of IQ and EQ. IQ and EQ give way to spiritual intelligence, the ultimate intelligence that can add
value and meaning to your life.
Adversity Quotient, AQ, is the science of human resilience. Resilience is the ability to adapt well
to stress, adversity, trauma or tragedy. It entails remaining stable and maintaining healthy
levels of physical and psychological functions, even in the face of chaos.
People with high IQ exhibit the following characteristics

Logical and Analytical ability

Inquisitiveness
Problem-Solving Skills
Interest in Reading
Extraordinary Memory
Perfectionism
Long attention span

McKenzie Theory
Multiple intelligences consist of 3 domains : Analytical, Introspective and Interactive.
These three domains serve as an organizer for understanding the fluid relationship of the
intelligences and how the intelligences work with one another. (McKenzie, 2002).
The Analytical Domain
According to McKenzie (2002), the Analytical domain consists of the Logical, Musical and
Naturalist intelligences.
These are the intelligences that promote analysis of knowledge that is presented to the learner.
These three intelligences are considered analytic because they promote the processes of
analyzing and incorporating data into existing schema, even though they may have other
components.
The Interactive Domain
McKenzie (2002) indicates that the Interactive domain consists of the Linguistic, Interpersonal
and Kinesthetic intelligences.
These are the intelligences that learners typically employ to express themselves and explore
their environment.
The Introspective Domain
The Introspective domain consists of Existential, Intrapersonal, and Visual intelligences.
These are the intelligences that have a distinctly affective component to them. These
intelligences are characterized as introspective because they require a looking inward by the
learner, an emotive connection to their own experiences and beliefs in order to make sense of
new learning.

Brain Body co-ordination
Brain-body/ Nervous muscular coordination
Learning sensitivity reflects the degree and speed of coordination between the nervous
muscular system, reflecting ones efficiency. It is useful for measuring a childs future
performance in sports. The brain is mainly made up of neurons. A nerve cell receives signals
from other neurons or sensory organs, processes these signals, and sends signals to other
neurons, muscles, or bodily organs.
It reflects the degree and speed of coordination between the nervous-muscular system,
reflecting ones confidence capability and efficiency.
In simple terms, how fast one carry out the thoughts into actions.
Fast (ATD Angle < 40):
Fast in putting thoughts and ideas into action, high sensory and reflex actions, high nervousmuscular sensitivity, tend to multi-task, ability to seize opportunity and fully employing
strengths in the dominant intelligence. Always challenging own potential. High concentration
span. May add undue stress and pressure to oneself.
Normal (ATD Angle 40 to 44):
Average pace in carrying out thoughts and ideas. Average sensory and reflex actions, average
nervous-muscular sensitivity, step-by-step approach in learning. Use the dominant intelligence
area(s) to complement the other intelligences in learning. Average concentration span.
Preferred among the three types of Learning Sensitivity.
Slightly Slow (ATD Angle 45 to 54):
Slow in carrying out thoughts, tasks and ideas. Slow in action does not mean slow learner but
lower reflex and sensitivity, long decision-making process. To allow self-paced learning
environment. Short concentration span. Need more push and set deadlines.
Slow (ATD Angle 55 and above):
Slow in carrying out ideas and responses. Might indicate learning disorders and difficulty in
grasping knowledge. Need special counselling and different learning approach

Objective / Concept Driven Model
The Frontal and Pre Frontal Lobe (Objective and Concept Driven Model)
The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of humans and other mammals, located at the front of
each cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of) the parietal lobe and superior
and anterior to the temporal lobes. The frontal lobe contains most of the dopamine-sensitive
neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopamine system is associated with reward, attention,
short-term memory tasks, planning, and drive. Dopamine tends to limit and select sensory
information arriving from the thalamus to the fore-brain
Objective Driven style controlled by Pre-frontal cortex
The Pre-frontal cortex (PFC) is the anterior part of the frontal lobe of the brain, lying in front of
the motor and pre motor areas. A report from the National Institute of Mental Health says a
gene variant that reduces dopamine activity in the pre frontal is related to poorer performance
and inefficient functioning of that brain region during working memory tasks. This brain region
has been implicated in planning complex cognitive behaviours, personality expression, decision
making and moderating correct social behaviour.
The most typical psychological term for functions carried out by the prefrontal cortex area is
executive function. Executive function relates to abilities to differentiate among conflicting
thoughts, determine good and bad, better and best, same and different, future consequences
of current activities, working toward a defined goal, prediction of outcomes, expectation based
on actions, and social "control". It has been found to play a part in impulse control, working
memory, problem solving, socialization and spontaneity. It assists in planning, coordinating,
controlling and executing. People who have damaged prefrontal lobe may experience
problems in taking initiatives, ability to concentrate, lack of inhibitions, goal direction and
emotional ability with flat effect.

Strong will power and good self discipline

Able to handle interpersonal relationship appropriately by carrying out introspection
and having positive attitude towards life
Self guide and motivate to achieve goals

Objective Driven
Characteristics
Risk-taker, Bold, Goal-oriented, Confident, Committed
Suggestions
- Give reasons: Why must do or must learn something?

Hollands Theory of Personality and Work Management Types
The Holland Code represents a set of personality types described in a theory of careers and
vocational choice formulated by psychologist John L. Holland. Holland's theory argued that "the
choice of a vocation is an expression of personality" and that the six factor typology he
articulated could be used to describe both persons and work environments. His typology
provides an interpretative structure for a number of different vocational interest surveys,
including the two measures he developed.
Holland's Theory does not assume that a person is just one type or that there are "only six types
of people in the world." Instead, he assumed that any person could be described as having
interests associated with each of the six types in a descending order of preference. This
assumption allows the Holland Codes to be used to describe 720 (6!) different personality
patterns. As the theory is applied in interest inventories and job classifications, it is usually only
the two or three most dominant codes that are used for vocational guidance.
The six personality and work environment types described by Holland are as follows:
Realistic (R)
Investigative (I)

- practical, physical, hands-on, tool-oriented

- analytical, intellectual, scientific, explorative

Artistic (A)

- creative, original, independent, chaotic

Social (S)

- cooperative, supporting, helping, healing/nurturing

Enterprising (E)

- competitive environments, leadership, persuading

Conventional (C) - detail-oriented, organizing, clerical

Activities based on Multiple Intelligences for children and
Integrating Technology with Multiple Intelligences
The multiple intelligences can be enhanced with the use of technology. Following Howard
Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence, teachers can encourage development by providing
enrichment opportunities in each of the areas of the intellect.

Logic Smart Children

Tips for parents and teachers:

If your children are very curious and inquisitive about the world around them and constantly
ask questions about how things work, answer them patiently and let them know that their
questions are always welcomed. If they are keen to explore and do things without anybody's
help, encourage them to do so.
Encourage them to be involved in problem solving and critical thinking activities such as
enrolling in a math club or a chess club.
Provide them games such as checkers, chess, backgammon, puzzles, science resource books ,
Popular science magazines, Biographies of scientists and inventors, Exploration and
experimentation tools, Magnifying glass, microscope, telescope or binoculars, Megaphones,
cones and microphones, Measurement devices (rulers, graduated cylinders etc.), Bug jars and
boxes, plastic containers for collecting specimens (botanical, entomological, geological etc.),
Teacher-written index card challenges "What happens if you..." (students make predictions,
then conduct experiments)
Integrating Technology in Logical/ Mathematical Intelligence:

Computer programs that teach logic and critical thinking skills are also available in game
formats that could motivate children.
Maths programs that allow drilling and practicing.
Database programs that help explore and organize data and information.

Other applications children may benefit from:

Problem solving software

Computer Aided design programs
Strategy game software
Graphing calculators
Computer with colour printer: probe-ware, robotics, spreadsheets and time liners.
Science-based software and reference CD-ROMs

Body Smart Children

Tips for parents and teachers:

Body smart children are full of energy and exhibit natural inclination towards sports activities,
dance or well coordinated activities. To develop this intelligence, encourage them to participate
in school sports days.

Enrol them in sports activities outside the school such as swimming, tennis, basketball or soccer
classes. This intelligence may possibly be a good opportunity to stretch other intelligences by
hands on experiences.

You can provide them with sports magazines as they will enjoy reading about their favourite
sports, teams or players or simply ask them to read the daily newspaper's sport section.
Enrolling them in dance classes will give them an opportunity to be interested in music as well.

Integrating Technology in Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence:

Using computers will help develop hand-eye coordination. Working with a computer will allow
children to become involved in their learning, actively.
Other applications children may benefit from are:

Software games that allow contact with the keyboard, mouse, joystick and other devices.
Animation programs

Music Smart Children

Tips for parents and teachers:

Kids who have a high level of musical rhythmic intelligence exhibit greater sensitivity to sounds,
rhythms, tones and music. In addition they will often use songs or rhythms to learn and
memorize information, and may work best with music playing in the background.

To develop this intelligence, encourage your children to join school bands or choirs or play an
instrument at home. Encourage them to listen and study different types of music and culture of
other countries.

Encourage them to create and compose music, lyrics and melody of their own. Provide them
with books about musicians to read.
Integrating Technology in Musical Intelligence:
Programs that help write or play music.

Music composing software

DVD player
Programs integrating stories with songs and instruments
Reading programs which relate letter/sound with music
Programs which allow children to create their own music

Nature Smart Children

Tips for parents and teachers:

Encourage your children to

Participate in nature clubs.

Build a birdhouse.
Collect leaves, stones, bugs, flowers etc.
Identify the types of flowers and trees in your back yard or neighbourhood.
Learn the different types of animals (e.g., types of dogs and cats, wildlife, squirrels, birds etc.).
Develop an interest in collecting pictures of rare animals and plant varieties
Do outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, gardening etc.
Watch National Geographic, the Discovery Channel, or other programming that examines
wildlife, fish, and other animals
Integrating Technology in Naturalistic Intelligence:

As technology becomes more accessible we as educators, have to realize it can not

replace human interaction and experiences in the natural world. To experience snow
falling, building a snowman, gardening, hiking, etc. is irreplaceable.

Suggested Software: Magic School Bus (takes students on electronic field trips)

Spiritual Smart Children

Note for parents and teachers:

Children who are spiritually smart have the ability to be sensitive to, or have the capacity for,
conceptualizing or tackling deeper or larger questions about human existence, such as the
meaning of life, why are we born, why do we die, what is consciousness, or how did we get
here. These children think and question about life and death and are curious about ultimate
realities of life. Such children can cultivate Yoga and meditation techniques, healing therapies
and should be encouraged to find answers to the questions related to life and spirituality:
Where do living things go after they die?
Why are they here on earth?
What was the earth like years ago?
How to discover ones passion and calling?
Do ghosts and spirits exist?
Who are the great philosophers and their thoughts about life?
Is there life on other planets?
Where is heaven and how can they seek God?
These may be those children who can be described as "fully aware" of the cosmos -- of
its diversity, complexity, and wonder.

Multiple Intelligences in the Classrooms

For Teachers and Educational Institutions:

I am 100% convinced that if I were to come back to Earth in 50 years, people would laugh at the
idea of uniform education. -Howard Gardner
According to Howard Gardner,

. . . student brains are more than IQ and their skills span more than the Reading, Writing and
Arithmetic
All students can learn
It is important in education to celebrate all aspects of diversity, including the many ways
students learn.
Individuals should be encouraged to use their preferred intelligences in learning.
Instructional activities should appeal to different forms of intelligence.
Assessment of learning should measure multiple forms of intelligence.
Successful education does not require covering everything from Plato to NATO. In fact, the
greatest enemy of understanding is coverage. If we try to cover everything, by the end of the
day people will have learned very little and will have understood nothing.
Focus on the End Result/What Students REALLY need to know upon leaving the formal learning
environment.
Recognize that not all children will have an understanding of all traditional areas in todays
world of information dissemination.
Success Stories:

Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4 and did not read until he was 7. His was described
as mentally slow and unsociable' and he was expelled from school.
Thomas Edison's was found too stupid to be able to learn anything'. He was fired from his first
two jobs for being non-productive and made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before inventing the
light bulb ... and several other things.
Abraham Lincoln was a failure as a businessman and lawyer. He, in fact, also failed in his first
attempt to be nominated to Congress.
Winston Churchill failed the sixth grade and was defeated in every election for public office
other than the one where he carved out a name for himself.
Obviously these people were blessed with innate intelligence that went far beyond the written
word and their success in life was owing to their multiple intelligences.

How can the Multiple Intelligences be implemented in the school class rooms?
Of
the
9
different
ways
we
learn,
schools
focus
on
only
two.
Add the other 7, and you increase the chances of success by Bruce Campbell. To implement
Gardner's theory in an educational setting, some schools and teachers have organized their
classrooms into various learning centers, each dedicated to one of the 9 intelligences. The
students spend approximately two-thirds of each school day moving through the centers - 15 to
20 minutes at each center. Curriculum is thematic and the centers provide different ways for
the students to learn the subject matter.
What kinds of learning activities take place at each center?
All students learn each day's lesson in many ways. They build models, dance, make
collaborative decisions, create songs, solve deductive reasoning problems, read, write and
illustrate all in one school day. Some more specific examples of activities at each centre follow:

In the Math & Science Center (Logical/ Mathematical Intelligence), they work with math games,
manipulatives, mathematical concepts, science experiments, deductive reasoning and problem
solving.
In the Reading Center (Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence), students read, write, and learn in many
traditional modes. They analyze and organize information in written form.
In the Personal Work Center (Intrapersonal Intelligence), students explore the present area of
study through research, reflection or individual projects.
In the Working Together Center (Interpersonal Intelligence), they develop cooperative learning
skills as they solve problems, answer questions, create learning games, brainstorm ideas and
discuss that day's topic collaboratively.
In the Building Center (Kinesthetic Intelligence), they build models, dramatize events, and
dance, all in ways that relate to the content of that day's subject matter.
In the Art Center (Spatial Intelligence), they explore a subject area using diverse art media,
manipulables, puzzles, charts and pictures.
In the Music Center (Musical Intelligence), students compose and sing songs about the subject
matter, make their own instruments and learn in rhythmical ways.
In the Nature Center (Naturalistic Intelligence), they explore the natural surroundings, collect
samples and analyze information on the basis of self observation.
In the Spirit Center (Existential Intelligence), they try to understand bigger picture behind a
project and its impact on life and society
Following their work at the centers, a few minutes are set aside for groups and individual
students to share their work from the centers. Much of the remainder of the day is spent with
students working on independent projects, either individually or in small groups where they
apply the diverse skills developed at the centers. If we educate to engage the whole gamut of
human potentialities in the classroom, society will benefit by enabling each diverse human
gift to find its fitting place.

A Beautiful Mind
A childs mind is like the bud of a flower; beautiful and ready to blossom and witness the beauty
of the world outside.
As responsible and loving parents you need to remember one important thing though,
A Jasmine bud never blossoms into a Rose flower, nor does a Rose bud never blossoms into a
Lotus flower!!!!
Let every childs mind blossom and radiate its own fragrance!!!!
You just need to nurture it with your love and care!!!!
The 2 most wonderful things a parent can give his child are
Roots & Wings
