Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.

These intelligences are:

  • Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
  • Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)
  • Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)
  • Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)
  • Musical intelligence (“music smart”)
  • Interpersonalintelligence (“people smart”)
  • Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)
  • Naturalis tintelligence (“nature smart”)

1.Verbal-Linguistic Intelligence -- well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words

2.Mathematical-Logical Intelligence -- ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical or numerical patterns

3.Musical Intelligence -- ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber

4.Visual-Spatial Intelligence -- capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly

5.Bodily-KinestheticIntelligence -- ability to control one's body movements and to handle objects skillfully

6.Interpersonal Intelligence -- capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and desires of others.

7.Intrapersonal Intelligence -- capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes

8.Naturalist Intelligence -- ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals and other objects in nature
