Hiii!! My name is Christina Trout, and I'm studying my first year for Production Management. My top 3 intelligences would be Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Bodily.

1) Intrapersonal: The past few years I've been focusing on growing my relationship with myself and realized its the most important. I value understanding myself on a deeper level and who I am as a person. Being in tune with myself has helped because it made me realize that I am in control with my own life, no one else's. I became my own best friend during the past few years. I value my worth and prioritizing myself. I learn from my life experiences good and bad and take the time to reflect on them so I can grow more as a person. I value myself and growing into the best version of myself each day. Being comfortable with myself will help me in my career because I know who I am, and wouldn't want to change for anybody, or go against my values. I will be able to understand myself and my wants/needs. It allows me to have a clear mindset in my career.
2) Interpersonal: I am able to understand other people and get a feel for who they are as people, with no judgment. I have a good intuition with people and energies. I am able to be myself around anyone which helps lessen pressure off people, and they are comfortable around me. I am able to communicate with others, and am able to understand people on a deeper level and find connections with people through conversations. I value communication, and listening to others. This will help me in my career as I generally get along with most people as I am a positive person that values communication and listening which can help in my career with working with others and making connections in my industry.
3) Bodily/Kinesthetic:
I am someone that likes to keep active, it helps with keeping me calm, and settles my energy. I personally love stretching and practicing mindfulness in the morning to help start my day off. I am naturally energetic so working out or walking/running while listening to music helps me as a stress reliever. I have a mix with bodily/kinesthetic intelligence and musical intelligence as i feel both help with stress for me, as I grew up around music, and joined band and played the clarinet at the age of 11 and joined choir. These help with peace of mind if i am ever overwhelmed. This will help me in my career as it helps in my day to day life with keeping me grounded, when i feel like things are overwhelming. I love to keep active and spend time outdoors.

I don't really watch television or series, because it take me FOREVER to complete them however the one i've been currently watching is Narcos Mexico. When I find the time, or try to make the time im watching Narcos because im trying to complete the series, but I find it difficult to sit down and commit to watch a few episodes as I prefer to be outside, go to cafes/bakeries converse, read or listen to music. Sometimes i feel that I am too busy to sit and watch Netflix, but it is nice when I make the time to.

Hello class! My name is Chovin. I took some classes at FIT and CUNY last year as a part time student. Currently I am a full time student at FIT and majoring in Textile Development and Marketing.

I would say that my three top intelligences would be Musical, Bodily/ Kinesthetic, and Intrapersonal:

1. Musical intelligence: My mom likes piano a lot even though she doesn’t play piano at all, but she put me and my younger brother at a music academy to learn to play piano when I was young. Also, I used to join the band and played the clarinet when I was in middle school. Thus I was exposed to the music environment since elementary school. These reasons make me think that I am more good at music and still can play the instruments. Through the band experience I learned how to collaborate and work as a team with other people. It is very important to live with people or work with folks and more. This is showing that living or working to all other aspects of the environment.

2. Bodily/Kinesthetic intelligence: My body takes the rhythm and moves like dance when I can hear the music, like this act is showing that my nature is good at moving. Also, when I am stressed out I want to dance instead of angry or depressed so, I often dance while listening to music. Then I feel that my body is in rhythm and the stress melts while I dance. This can be utilized in my career when I am working like I can solve the stress with my own ability by taking the rhythm. If problems arise, then I might control the problems clearly with my own ability, that mindset and can enjoy music rhythm, and try to look at the problem with a relaxed perspective then it can be handled easily.

3. Intrapersonal intelligence: This is not my one of top intelligence now instead I need to build this  intrapersonal intelligence strongly for myself. I am not strong at expressing my feelings, emotions, and etc. Thus, I have a lack of social skills so this is a big issue for me, when I face a strange environment or meet new people then I feel nervous and struggle to represent myself. So, I picked this intrapersonal intelligence for making myself strong and learning how to control the emotion well.

My favorite Netflix series as of right now is a Korean drama series called “All of us are dead”. It is about a zombie invading a school but there are people trapped inside and they have to safely come out of the school without getting caught by the zombies.

I plan on utilizing these skills to focus on my major and what it feels like to be in a business major. I look forward to learning a lot through this semester with professor Rogers as well.

I’m in my first semester at FIT as a Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing major. My top 3 intelligences are Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Spatial. I know I have intrapersonal intelligence because I have a very deep knowledge of myself. I am not easily influenced by anyone or anything. Something I say often is “Life is my greatest teacher.” I truly believe that each and every individual’s life journey is tailored specifically for them. So if you pay attention to your life lessons, you’ll have a full understanding of yourself.  I know I have interpersonal intelligence because I’m able to understand others just as deep as I understand myself. I keep an open mind when conversing with others and try to unravel their life experiences and see how it relates to who they are and the mindsets they have. I’m intrigued by how we all differ from one another but in many cases we can relate to one another too.

Lastly, I know I have spatial intelligence because I effortlessly visualize things as a whole. I can imagine just about anything and recreate it or create an interpretation of what I imagined in the form of art. I love being creative whether it’s by painting, sculpting or drawing. I use art as a form of language.

I can utilize these intelligences in my career effectively by continuing to understand how they contribute to my capabilities. My intrapersonal intelligence allows me to focus on my roles within my career and prevents me from getting off track or overstepping others. My interpersonal intelligence comes in handy when I need to collaborate with others. Once I understand the different individuals I’m working with, I’ll know who possesses certain strengths and be able to suggest the best plan to collectively accomplish our goal. My Spatial intelligence will always be useful when it comes to getting my team to see the bigger picture or overall goal that lies ahead.

My favorite Netflix series is All American. I enjoy it because it's an interesting high school drama that depicts the lives of teens from different walks of life. All of their paths cross at some point and unexpected events constantly occur bringing them closer to one another or causing them to be pushed apart.

Hi!! My name is Artie Medina and I am a returning student currently studying Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing.
After graduating from Fashion Design with an associates, I realized that my passion lied more in the world of cosmetics.
My top three intelligences would be:

1. Interpersonal Intelligence:
I strengthened my skill in interpersonal effectiveness and I now know how important it is to be able to communicate verbally and nonverbally, to read the room, and to most importantly, understand myself with what I feel and what I want. This can be utilized in my career by reading the room, knowing the right place and time, and to sense peoples feeling and motives.

2. Naturalist Intelligence:
I have a huge green thumb, which I developed from my late grandmother. She taught me how to love and care for nature and plants, and how they are like us in a way. They need love, care, water, nutrients, etc. I genuinely believe that nature is extremely healing for the mind, body, and soul. This can be utilized in my career because plants are like people, I can understand when it's time to help someone or back off, and care for my health.

3.Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence:
I love dancing, My sister was a dancer and she taught me a lot about moving to the rhythm and how it also can express emotions. I use dance to express my emotions and feelings that I have deep down that can't be explained. It's also important and can be utilized within my career because whenever a problem comes my way, I know to take a step back, breathe, and ground myself in my environment.

My favorite Netflix Series has to be American Horror Story Coven. I have rewatched it like 100 times lol. The empowerment of women is so strong in this series and It's overall the best series that American horror story ever released. In addition, thee Stevie Nicks appears in it so how could you not watch it??

Hi! My name is Kate Quezada and I’m a third-year student at FIT studying production management. My top three intelligences would be:

1.  Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: When I am stressed or need a getaway in order to solve a problem, I tend to become active (walk or jog) in order to release tension and figure out a way to calmly come to an issue. This can be utilized in my career because if problems arise, the only clear way to solve them is to take a step back, take a breather, and clear the mind.

2. Interpersonal Intelligence: Since learning how important it is to know oneself and to take care of oneself, I’ve been reading books on the mind, body, and soul. Since then, I’ve learnt a lot about myself.

3. Existential Intelligence: I’m 100% always curious about the world and have never-ending questions that may or may not be answered. I 100% believe in the universe and have a strong knowledge that anything is possible! Whatever is meant for you, will never run past you! This is a great intelligence to have for your career mainly because it’s great to have many questions and to always ask them even when lost.

Overall, my favorite series on Netflix is The Office (when Netflix had the show available). I absolutely love the show because it’s extremely funny with characters who are unique and have their own funny personalities.

Hi! My name is Angelina Salazar and I am a freshman studying majoring at production management. I believe that my three main intelligences would be intrapersonal, naturalist, and existential.
I feel as though I have an intrapersonal intelligence because I am able to understand the reasoning behind my thinking and actions as well as that of others, especially those I am closest to. My naturalistic intelligence comes from my interest in making life better for the plants and animal life around me and for focusing on their wellbeing before my own or before the needs of the economy. As for my existential intelligence I am constantly looking for new questions and new subjects to study in my religious life to help me better understand the life I am living now.
My favorite show to watch right now is Seinfeld because it is very lighthearted and full of laughter which is something I love after a long day of school or working.

Hey! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a returning student currently studying Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing. After graduating with my AAS from FIT in 2018, I took some time off to work and gain experience within the Cosmetics world. I am happy and excited to finally be back to complete the major I have dreamed about since I was a kid.

I would say that my three top intelligences would be Interpersonal, Visual and Intrapersonal.

Interpersonal being people smart, I have gained a huge background in learning how to deal and understand people since I entered the world of Retail.  Working in retail is way more grueling as it may seem to be from a customer perspective – having worked in all kinds of different retail environments, I have gained a pretty good understand on how people (especially women from working in the beauty world) act and react around each other and in various situations and scenarios. I am very observant of the people/things around me, which leads to the Visual side of me – I am a pretty creative and definitely more of a hands-on learner, which is what lead me to return to work full time after school, to gain a better understanding of the environment I had planned to study in the future.

Probably the most important intelligence about me would Intrapersonal.  Today I currently work in a Spa alongside going to school. Having worked in beauty retail since I was 18, and then transitioning into working in salons/spas, I have dealt with all walks of life, especially women, and have learned that people tend to be very hard on themselves. I feel that learning about how others view themselves has given me an interesting perspective on how I view myself.  I like to think I have very good intuition and self-awareness and am pretty good about handling myself in tough situations. One thing I try to stress very hard on myself is Patience.  Not only is having patience important when dealing with others, but being patient and connected with yourself is important in order for you to grow as a person. You should always come first in your own life before others!! I feel that having the patience I do now will only excel me in school throughout my major.  I am so looking forward to seeing where life takes me!

Though I do not think it is on Netflix anymore (I am more of a Hulu girl personally), my favorite show of all time is The X Files! I love sci-fi things and all things 90s, and it is a show that has been with me for a very long time. I am also a sucker for anything on the Bravo network... Also, if you are a Hulu lover like me, check out Only Murders in the Building!! It’s a murder mystery and it is very quirky but most of all – very very New York City.

My top three intelligences are Interpersonal, Spatial, and Naturalist. Working in hospitality, Retail, and Administration have typically shaped my Interpersonal intelligence. It also helps me adapt in different teams and environments. I am an artist. I love to paint and draw. I also have some experience in 3D modeling. Creating art has always been important to me. This is where my Spatial intelligence comes in. My Naturalist intelligence stems from having a strong appreciation and love for plants. People will say I have a green thumb. I enjoy caring for plants and gardening. I believe my intelligences will help me in my cosmetic and fragrance marketing major, by giving me an overall understanding, of what my industry wants in sustainability, wellness, and equity. I believe that my interpersonal skills make me a great pilar for product knowledge, and I pride myself in that. I always want to make a product/solution work for my client. Spatial intelligence for me is really about using great designs in packaging to advertisements, and my naturalist intelligence also pays attention to the environment, which is strongly related to trends.

I do not have a favorite Netflix series. The last streamed show I watched was “Atlanta”. I liked the show.

Hello! My name is Nicole. I am returning to FIT after a 15-year career as a womenswear designer in the fashion industry. I have my AAS in fashion design, and I am currently taking pre-requisites for the Entrepreneurship bachelor’s degree. I would say that my top three intelligences are visual, musical, and logical. My mother was an artist and then art teacher, and my father was a musician and music professor, so I grew up with both art and music in my life for as long as I can remember. As a child I loved to draw, and especially to draw clothing for my paper dolls. When I began studying fashion design at FIT it felt like such a natural continuation of this lifelong interest. Pursuing design professionally also allowed me to appreciate my logical side. Fashion design is a very technical field so having some strength in math and problem solving is incredibly helpful.

Music has also been a big part of my life even though I did not pursue it professionally. Growing up I studied violin and voice, and as an adult I took up learning to play mandolin. I still love to sing and play music, especially with my husband who also plays guitar. Now that I have a young child, it has been especially fun to share music with him and see how much joy he gets from it too! While I do not directly use music in my career, it has certainly been great practice in learning how to collaborate and work as a team with other people, and collaboration is one of the most important aspects of working as a designer, as it is in every other field as well.

Currently, one of my favorite shows is Schitt’s Creek. The writing, the characters, the actors, it is all so funny and well done! I used to prefer to watch more serious dramas, but these days I have been more drawn to silly and lighthearted shows to de-stress and unwind at the end of the day. Schitt’s Creek always makes me smile and laugh!

Here is a picture of me picking blueberries with my 2-year-old son.

Hi! My name is Avigail-Kate. I'm currently majoring in FBM and I'm looking to get my bachelor's in Cosmetics & Fragrance Marketing. My top three intelligences are: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and musical.

To start off, I've always valued self-awareness with oneself. I think it's important to understand who you are as an individual. At the end of the day you are the person who truly knows the most about yourself. In order to grow as a person, I've always prioritized self-reflecting since it helps me to better understand myself.

I also believe it's important to understand others as well. I've always enjoyed connecting with others on an emotional level. I found that I'm someone who is able to sense and understand other's emotions. For me, it's important to see things from another individual's point of view.

My dad introduced me to music when I was very young. He helped spark my passion and interest for everything surrounding music. Throughout my adolescence, my dad taught me how to sing and my brother taught me how to play the piano. Since then, I've acquired a deep love, specifically for singing, as it's something that I not only enjoy, but it also helps me to relieve my stress. I've noticed that I also have a strong sense of rhythm as I then found my interest in dancing. Along with singing, dancing is also a big stress reliever for me as well.

Since I'm interested in a future career surrounding the beauty industry, I'm going to be constantly working with others and at times I will be put under stress. I can utilize my intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences by using them in the workplace. At times when I need to relieve some stress, I can do what I enjoy doing the most, which is singing and dancing.

I have a lot of favorite TV shows so I can't really just choose one, but my favorite sitcom TV series is sadly not on Netflix. It's called Schitt's Creek and it's on Hulu. I've binge watched this show multiple times and it has a lot of seasons. I highly recommend it!

Hello! My name is Zariah and I’m an FBM major. I would say that my top three intelligences are interpersonal, spatial, and linguistic.

From the time I was young, I have been an empath. With the ability to understand and feel another being within the frame of their reference. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize that I exhibit this intelligence on a day-to-day basis. I find it very easy to connect and understand another individual on a deeper level. I feel the connectedness to them, through sometimes brief conversations. From the time I was little, I have always loved being able to draw and express what was within me, outwardly. I consider myself a creative, and love being able to get my thoughts, ideas, emotions, and feelings out. My hands and my mind are two of my greatest powers. I use both to create the art I make. Aside from art, English was always one of my favorite subjects in school. Writing is one of my favorite forms of release! Nowadays, I write just about anything. I take a lot of pride in my writing and only aim to get better at it each and every day. In the future, I would want to work for the publication Conde Nast, and eventually, create a magazine and publication of my own, and I think all three of my intelligences would play into the role(s) I take on.

I actually rarely watch T.V. and movies. But, that isn’t to say that when I do find something I like on Netflix, I don’t binge-watch it till the end! I currently haven’t turned into Netflix for a few months, but one of my favorite television shows on there is Girlfriends. It’s a sitcom from the early 2000s that documents the livelihoods of four young women. I love the show not only for its nostalgic feel and comedic elements but because of the life lessons that can be learned from each episode. The creators definitely made the show relatable.

Hi! My name is Cielle and I am a Textile Development and Marketing major. I transferred from SUNY Oneonta where I studied Design. It was there that I found my intelligences in linguistics, visual, intrapersonal. I realized that these intelligences were developing  the more information and techniques I grasped from all my courses taken throughout my college career. I have grown tremendously as a student.
I plan on utilizing these skills in my possible career in Interior Design to work with clients to construct their dream living or work space, as well incorporating their necessities. My attention to detail will be key in accomplishing exactly what they client asked for while my social skills will help me build a relationship with them.
My favorite Netflix series as of right now is Selling Sunset. The show takes you inside million dollar homes that are on the market and showcase their interiors. There is a little bit of drama between the employees, but a reality show wouldn’t be a reality show without some cat fights and talking behind peoples’ backs.
I am excited for this class and what it has to offer for my
future !
