Howard Garner’s (1943 -) study around multiple intelligences has had a profound impact on thinking and practice in learning. His work has been marked by a desire not to just describe the world but to help to create the conditions to change it. He viewed intelligence as ‘the capacity to solve problems or to fashion products that are valued in one or more cultural setting’ (Gardner & Hatch, 1989). He formulated a list of personal intelligences, including:
Linguistic intelligence, Logical-mathematical intelligence, Music intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Spatial intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Intrapersonal intelligence, Naturalist intelligence and Spiritual intelligence.
BRAIN DECODING AND BIRD TYPE LEADERSHIP
Brain Generic Decoding Engineering (BGDE) also known as Dermatoglyphics, which evaluates one’s inborn intelligence through biometrics. Skin Patterns on fingers are unique and heavily linked with one’s genetic composition, which are in sync with the patterns on one’s left and right brain. Ample Dermatoglyphics research and practices have built scientific evidence in anthropology, genetics, medicine and statistics from 17th century. It helps to find out the relevance between the brain and epidermal ridges on fingerprints. If the fingerprint pattern and the number of TRC (total ridge count) appear to be strong, the area of the brain will also be superior.
These in return can point out the inborn potential and multiple intelligence development:
BGDE removes personal subjectivity, which exploring 10 innate multiple intelligences talents, personality characteristics, spiritual characteristics and behavioral tendency; the learning of personality has been categorized into 5 major bird types, with 160 sub-type with different descriptions of such characteristics to summarize leadership profiles.
EMPOWER STRENGTHS COMPASS
Strength is the ability to consistently provide high performance, which equal to Talent (a natural way of thinking, feeling of behaving) x Time Investment (for developing skills and building knowledge).
Strength = Talent x Time Investment
Identifying your inherent talents means recognizing the type of life situations and circumstances that naturally and easily attract your attention and passion.
After revealing the potential assessment test, the coach capitalizes on clients’ inborn gifts and cultivate their strengths by using the analogy of different bird types, including Eagle, Peacock, Parrot, Ostrich and Goose, learnt from Brain Generic Decoding Engineering. In that way, client will discover powerful insights about innate talents they can make to be more effective and see their best self from a bird’s view, which naturally empowers their Strength Compass to set up their directional goals.
