Chapter 14, MI Theory and Existential Intelligence, was really introducing the idea of a potential ninth intelligence. This intelligence would be Existential Intelligence, or a type of moral intelligence. This chapter then goes on to explain the criteria for an intelligence. There has to be cultural value, developmental history, symbol systems, exceptional individuals, psychometric studies, evolutionary plausibility, and brain research. The last thing that is mentioned is the fact that none of the intelligences involve promoting religion, spirituality, or any specific belief system. This can be taken into teaching where your personal opinions and beliefs are not to be shared in you classroom or at school.
