The Lousky Method - 32 Intelligences
The French psychologist, Alfred Binet, developed a
ladder of age-specific intelligence units, which is
based on the theory that intelligence changes as a
person matures. Accordingly, a person's intelligence
measurement (IQ) is defined as the relation between the
intelligence age (the individual ability of the person
being tested) and a person's age (the standard ability
of people of the same age.)
The IQ test was first developed by Binet and Theodore
Simon in 1916 (the Binet-Simon Scale), and was intended
as a tool for categorizing pupils into regular schools
and special education schools. This test continues to be
the basis for intelligence testing throughout the
Western world, and is used for classifying pupils and
forecasting their education success. The IQ test
measures those skills that have been determined to be
necessary for educational success, such as verbal
skills, mathematical reasoning abilities, and the
ability to remember numbers and words.
The understanding that people are able to gain
achievements, personal development and joy of life
through many different ways and methods was the basis to
the development of the unique methods called the “Lousky
Method”. The basis of this method is the concept of 32
intelligences for achieving mind-body balance. The
method is the result of many years of research and is
founded is the “Book of Creation”, attributed to the
patriarchal Abraham.
According to the Lousky Method, each one of the 32
intelligences appears in each individual, to one degree
or another, so that a person can be “intelligent” in
many different and diverse ways. For example, one may
have an intelligence for marketing, acting,
drawing/painting, sports, organization, writing,
editing, managing sales, entrepreneurship, poetry,
planning, interpersonal relationships (in all life
skills and in all simple actions) – rather than being
“intelligent” in the areas of verbal skills or
mathematical reasoning, as defined by the traditional
theory of intelligence. Each individual has a unique
“intelligence profile” that shapes their personality,
their outlook and beliefs, and their understanding of
the world, which they use to resolve problems.
The Lousky Method is an education, therapeutic method
for achieving mind-body balance through the 32
intelligences. An intelligence is the ability to resolve
problems and create measurable, quantifiable results.
Intelligences can be fixed, strengthened, and enhanced
as needed. The intelligences themselves are life skills
that characterize the simple, natural actions that bind
all people.
Scientific research in recent years in the area of
intelligence development has determined that each
intelligence is tied to a cultural aspect; therefore,
each must be examined in a context that is familiar and
relevant to the individual. In addition, an individual
must have an optimal environment for expanding their
ability to express their intelligence.
The role of society is to identify an individual’s
abilities, and to help them attain a field that best
suits their skills and talents, a field that will
provide them with usefulness, competitiveness, and
satisfaction, and will strengthen the intelligences in
which that individual excels. This makes it possible to
contribute to raising an individual’s self-esteem and to
realize each individual’s full potential.
Despite the clear differences between people and the
wide diversity of “intelligence profiles”, people are
still evaluated and tested using a limited number of
standardized, “conventional” testing methods. In this
unrealistic situation, the main capabilities that are
emphasized are speech and thought. This means that only
people who excel in these two fields are considered high
achievers and successful. Meanwhile, those who do less
well in these two fields are considered weak students
who are unable to meet the requirements of the system.
As such, they get caught up in a circular, frustrating
process of mediocrity and failure, to the point where
many simply drop out of the system.
The role we have taken upon ourselves, together with
others, is to provide each individual with a “stage” and
a window of opportunity to express the diverse texture
that characterizes intelligences, which are often hidden
and do not always manifest themselves in the existing
framework. Through this method, we have chosen to open a
door to a better world for each and every individual.
The Lousky Method aims to achieve harmony through the
whole individual, and sees the individual as the source
of creation. Accordingly, the sources of healing and
correction can be found in natural resources as well as
in people themselves. The body is a mirror of one’s
soul, and an individual is a mirror of their environment
and experiences.
Through the feedback method and mirroring, an individual
is able to understand reality as it is formed, and to
understand how and why it occurs, in order to create a
better world for each and every one.
The 32 Intelligences are a methodology as well as a
method of operation, both in space and time; they are
the mold and its content, the passageway of intelligence
and the intelligence itself, and the creator and the
creation itself.
The healing process takes place when the life force
flows through the 32 passageways in order to maintain
the passages and paths open, to remove blockages, clear
them, correct any problems, and maintain balance. The
process of development and personal growth takes place
when the life force flows through the passages with the
purpose to expand and create new bonds between the
passages.
According to the Lousky Method, a patient’s desire to
rectify and to find a goal and purpose in life, as well
as their belief in their facility for self-healing and
ability to start afresh – are the basic principles of
life empowerment. These, according to the Lousky Method,
are both the cure and “miracle” of the desired
treatment.
The harmony we seek to create with the universe will
occur naturally when each individual achieves internal
harmony with himself or herself through mind-body
balance.
