• Howard Gardner defines intelligence as “an ability to solve a problem or fashion, a product that is valued in one or more cultural settings”.

• The eight intelligences of Howard Gardner’s theory are described below:

• 1) Visual-Spatial: The ability to perceive the visual-spatial world accurately and represent this world internally in one’s mind. We can see this type of ability in architects, artists, sculptors, cartographers, anatomists, and scouts.

• 2) Bodily-kinesthetic: The ability to use one’ body or body parts such as hands and fingers to solve problems and express ideas. We can see this type of ability in athletes, dancers, actors, and mimes.

• 3)Musical Rhythmic: The ability to think in music, hear music almost continuously, and recognize musical patterns, remember them, and transform them. We can see this type of ability in musical performers, people who love to play musical instruments or sing, and people who enjoy listening to music.

• 4) Linguistic: The ability to use language effectively, either in oral or written from, to express ideas to others. We can see this type of ability in writers, poets, storytellers, lawyers, editors, journalists, and (hopefully) college textbook authors.

• 5) Logical-Mathematical: The ability to use numbers and operations mathematically and to reason logically. We can see this type of ability in mathematicians, accountants, statisticians, scientists, and computer programmers.

• 6) Intrapersonal: The ability to understand oneself, know who oneself is, know one’s own strengths and limitations, and to act in accordance with this self knowledge. We can see this type of ability in people who exhibit self-discipline and personal authenticity.

• 7) Interpersonal (Social) intelligence: The ability to work effectively with others, noticing their moods, motivations and feelings (social activity, cooperative learning, teamwork). These persons are able to relate to other people, and display empathy and understanding, to notice their motivations and goals.

• 8) Naturalistic: The ability to discriminate among living things and exhibit sensitivity to one’s natural surroundings. We can see this type of ability in botanists, zoologists, ecologists, explorers, farmers, and hunters.
