Multiple Intelligences

By Howard Gardner

The theory of Multiple Intelligences is

Howard Gardner’s theory that suggests human
intelligence can be differentiated into nine
modalities. The idea behind the theory of
Multiple Intelligence is that people learn in a
variety of different ways.

The Nine types of human intelligence,

according to Gardner, shape a person’s
problem-solving capabilities.
Let us look at each of these types in detail. 
Nine types of Intelligences
1. Bodily- Kinesthetic Intelligence
This intelligence involves a sense of
timing and the perfection of skills through
mind–body union. They understand things
better when they are physically involved with
something rather than simply reading about it
or listening to it.
2. Interpersonal Intelligence
Those who have strong interpersonal intelligence are good at understanding and
interacting with other people. These individuals are skilled at assessing the emotions,
motivations, desires, and intentions of those around them.
3. Verbal-linguistic Intelligence
People who are strong in linguistic-verbal intelligence are able to use words well,
both when writing and speaking. 
4. Logica-Mathematical Intelligence
People who are strong in logical-mathematical intelligence are good at reasoning,
recognizing patterns, and logically analyzing problems that occur in our daily lives.
5. Naturalistic Intelligence
Individual who are high in this type of intelligence are more in nurture with nature and
are often interested in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about other
species.
6. Intrapersonal Intelligence
The capacity for self-reflection, to be aware of strengths and weaknesses, feelings,
and thought processes that constitute self-knowledge. 
7. Musical-Rhythmic Intelligence
People who possess a high degree of musical intelligence have good thinking in
rhythms, sounds, or patterns.
8. Visual- Spatial Intelligence
People with visual-spatial intelligence learn best when taught using written,
modelled, or diagrammed instruction, and visual media. 
9. Existential Intelligence
Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as
the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.
