In 1983, American researcher, Professor of Medicine and Neurology at the school of Medicine of the Boston University, professor at the Harvard University and cognitive and developmental psychologist Howard Gardner created an original theory of intelligences.
Until then, scientists believed that there was only one kind of intelligence. But in his book “Frames of Mind”, Gardner referred to the theory of multiple intelligences.
According to that, each person’s intelligence is not just one, but is divided into nine different types. Every human being is unique because in his/her brain these types develop in a different way. What’s more, the professor stated that the types of intelligence develop throughout our lives.
The different types
Linguistic Intelligence
It has to do with the ability to write and speak, to learn languages, to memorize words and concepts, as well as to understand the subtle differences between concepts and storytelling. It is perhaps one of the most common human abilities.
Logical- Mathematical Intelligence
It has to do with the understanding of numbers, the relations between the phenomena and special reasoning skills.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
This type of intelligence has to do with the movement of the body. Also, those who have it to a large extent can handle the objects with ease. Finally, they have the sense of the right time and they can easily create a relation between the mind and the body.
Musical intelligence
It is the type of intelligence that proves itself from an early age. It has to do with the recognition, creation and reproduction of music. The mathematical and musical intelligence usually share the same reasoning processes.
Interpersonal intelligence
It is about the knowledge of the human condition and the interaction with others. It appears in all those who like to work in teams and are usually “leaders”. This intelligence appears more in extroverts.
Intrapersonal intelligence
It is the ability to know yourself, your thoughts and feelings very well. It can be summed up in the ancient saying “to know thyself”. Usually introverts develop this kind of intelligence.
Spatial intelligence
It is more developed in people who can adapt more easily to different locations and changes in the environment. These people usually have an artistic nature and have a very strong visual memory.
Existential Intelligence
This intelligence is “present” in all the people who are concerned with the issues of existence and non-existence, good and bad, right and wrong.
Naturalistic intelligence
It has to do with all the people who are practical and admire contact with the natural world. They are animal-friendly and can more easily understand the changes in the weather and the natural environment.
