Chapter 2 MI: The Foundations of MI Theory

In this second chapter I feel that I learned a lot of new information. The first chapter was about things that we have been talking about in the past week or so. What really stuck out to me for was the term “paralyzing experiences”. In the book this was defined as experiences that “shut down” certain intelligences in your brain. I found this to be very interesting, because something like that did happen to me in elementary school with a teacher and math. I was forced to go to the board and do the math problem when I clearly stated to the teacher I didn’t know how to do it. After having read this it seemed to make sense to me why I panic when it comes to math.
