Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence ("Body Smart")

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (Body Smart)



People who have bodily kinesthetic intelligence should learn better by involving muscular movement (e.g getting up and moving around into the learning experience), and are generally good in physical activities such as sports and dance. They may enjoy acting or performing and general they are good at building and making things. They are often best by doing something physically, rather than reading or hearing about it. Those with strong bodily-kinesthetic intelligence seem to use what might be termed muscle memory. The remember things through their body such as verbal memory or images.





Besides, they are often have a natural sense of how their body should act and react demanding physical situations. Learning is best facilitated by providing a kinetic component, where the learner can interact with space in some way to help them process and remember the new information through their body.
