2 min readFeb 5, 2021
In Western society, we are used to predict an individual’s intelligence based on their score on the global IQ test. However, according to psychologist (Howard Gardner):
“Our understanding of intelligence may be very narrow. For each person there are up to nine measures of intelligence, not just one”
What are the Types of Intelligence
A growing group of educated people believe that intelligence is divided into 9 types of intelligence:
- Spatial intelligence.
- Natural intelligence.
- Musical intelligence.
- Computational logical intelligence.
- Social Intelligence.
- Linguistic intelligence.
- Kinesthetic intelligence.
- Intelligence is deep personality.
- Existential intelligence.
According to Gardner, author of “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”: “All types of intelligence have their own strengths and limitations, so the mind is not bound by any association at birth.”
