I must say that Gardner has made me feel a lot better about myself in that he has classified 9 intelligences, several of which I fit in to.  I’ve always thought I was intelligent, I feel that I am smart and talented in many things (not just music).  However, I knew that math/logic, or even creative writing is not something that I have in me.  Therefore, my intelligence is hidden to most people, particularly teachers at my school, being that they are mostly looking for those two mentioned above in determining intelligence.  I thank Gardner for giving me something, my part in the intelligence circle.   Even though musical intelligence is one of two that I can relate too (the other being interpersonal intelligence) I am very much relieved that I fit in some how as “intelligent”.
