Naturalistic Intelligence

Abstract

Naturalistic intelligence is one of the multiple intelligences proposed by researcher Howard Gardner. Naturalistic intelligence refers to a person’s interest in the “natural” world of animals, plants, and the natural work around them. It is the ability to identify and classify patterns in natural environment. Individuals with naturalist intelligence have a sensitivity to and appreciation for nature. Naturalists are inspired and rejuvenated by nature. This paper provides an introduction on naturalistic intelligence.
