Multiple Intelligences

Luckily we are all different!  

There are multiple types of human intelligence, each representing different ways of processing information: 

• Verbal-linguistic intelligence refers to an individual's ability to analyze information and produce work that involves oral and written language, such as speeches, books, and emails.

• Logical-mathematical intelligence describes the ability to develop equations and proofs, make calculations, and solve abstract problems.

• Visual-spatial intelligence allows people to comprehend maps and other types of graphical information.

• Musical intelligence enables individuals to produce and make meaning of different types of sound.

• Naturalistic intelligence refers to the ability to identify and distinguish among different types of plants, animals, and weather formations found in the natural world.

• Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence entails using one's own body to create products or solve problems.

• Interpersonal intelligence reflects an ability to recognize and understand other people's moods, desires, motivations, and intentions.

• Intrapersonal intelligence refers to people's ability to recognize and assess those same characteristics within themselves.
