Existential

Definition

This intelligence focuses on existence, nature of being, presence, essence, and energy. It is a construct that explains a person’s innate human potential, capability level, or capacity to develop intellectual faculties and tackle deep questions about human existence (e.g. meaning of life, death, and how human life came to be).

Example

This intelligence can be reinforced or developed when Learning Technologists provide opportunities for students to use self-reflective and thought provoking learning experiences to develop new intellectual capabilities and discover the nature and essence of being.
