How are you intelligent. The education systems can place certain types of intelligence on a pedestal while ignoring other types, which is what most of us fit into. Even though you may be terrible at math, me or language, there's a pretty good chance that you have always been naturally gifted in other areas, except in your school days, your passion was not defined as intelligence. In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner revolutionized education in psychology by suggesting that instead of only having a single type of intelligence we have several types of intelligence, which is mostly completely neglected by standardized testing. What many scientists thought were just soft skills like communication skills and musical ability. Howard Gardner realized we're different types of intelligence.

So the question isn't, are you intelligent, but how are you intelligent? Your intelligence preference is different from your behavior preference because it describes what you are really interested in rather than how you behave and it helps you define what you really want out of your personal life and career. We are most fulfilled and most successful in life when we learn, develop and work in ways that make the best use of our natural talents. There are nine types of intelligence that we will go over now. One naturalistic intelligence. Have you ever wondered why some people can connect with animals so easily?

Have you ever encountered someone with a green thumb? Well, these people are great examples of nature smart people. naturalistic intelligence refers to a person's sensitivity to the natural world and the ability to distinguish between nature's different features such as plant and animals. In the early human days, naturalist intelligence was probably incredibly useful to survival. Hunting and farming were the activities that relied fully on this type of intelligence to musical in Intelligence. While some people are drawn to nature, others are drawn to the Musical Arts.

These musical smart people are usually more sensitive to sounds that most people aren't even aware of. Musical intelligence is the ability to recognize tone, pitch, rhythm, etc. With this type of intelligence people can create, reproduce and write music, which we see in vocalists, musicians, composers and conductors. Three, logical OR mathematical intelligence. This was an area that I personally struggled with in school. This type of intelligence is the ability to carry out mathematics easily and are good at reasoning.

Those who are number or reasoning smart quickly recognize relationships patterns and create and use abstract thoughts. When logical intelligence is dominant in a person you'll see them especially attracted to logic puzzles, strategy games and math problems. For existential intelligence. Many people go through their daily lives without giving much thought to their existence. But those with existential intelligence tend to think deep thoughts such as the whys and how's of life and death. While most people shake these kinds of thoughts away, people who are interested in their own existence are drawn to exploring questions such as, why are we born?

How did we get here and why we die. These people have the ability and sensitivity to deal with thoughts about what lies beyond life and death. Five interpersonal intelligence, you might have noticed that some people have a great ability to interact well with others. These people, smart individuals, interact with others in a way that they can understand and communicate well. Interpersonal intelligence makes it possible for people to communicate effectively through verbal and nonverbal ways to sense the moods of people and to consider different points of view you'll usually find this type of intelligence In politicians, social workers, actors and teachers, six bodily or kinesthetic intelligence. While some people have the tendency to be awkward when it comes to physical activities like dancing with two left feet or being bad at sports bodies, smart people can stay coordinated during physical skills and handling of objects.

People with bodily kinesthetic intelligence have a good sense of timing and their mind body coordination is on point. People who have this type of intelligence usually grow up to become dancers, craftspeople, athletes, surgeons and other careers involving exceptional Mind Body cooperation. Seven linguistic intelligence, most commonly shared by humans linguistic intelligence involves the human ability to think in words and use these words to make themselves understood. This type of intelligence allows a person to put together complex meanings and express them using link language. Even though this intelligence is used by many, it is most noticeable in the way public speakers, novelists, journalists and poets make use of their linguistic skills. In the early stages of life linguistic intelligence is shown in a person's enjoyment of crossword puzzles, storytelling, reading and writing.

Eight intrapersonal intelligence people who can understand themselves their thoughts and their emotions and are able to use this knowledge to plan their lives have interpersonal intelligence. Interpersonal intelligence involves self appreciation as well as larger understanding of the human condition. As young adults self smart people possess a deeper awareness of their own emotions are self motivated and tend to be shy. Examples of people with intrapersonal intelligence include philosophers, spiritual leaders, writers and psychologists. And nine spatial intelligence. The last one spatial intelligence which is the human ability to consider things in three dimensions.

This type of intelligence is a dynamic imagination, image manipulation, mental imagery, artistic and graphic skills and spatial reasoning. People with spatial intelligence are highly creative. At a young age people with high spatial intelligence may be interested in solving jigsaw puzzles, or mazes, or daydreaming or drawing spatial intelligence is shown by picture smart people such as architects, sculptors, painters, pilots and sailors.
