The 8 Types Of Intelligence

Do you know that there are more types of intelligence than IQ and EQ? In 1983, in a book entitled Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Howard Gardner proposed that there are 8 types of intelligence.
The 8 types of intelligence according to Gardner includes - musical-rhythmic, spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. In 1999, Gardner added spiritual intelligence to his original 7 (Naturalistic was added in 1995) and added teaching-pedagogical intelligence in 2016.
What does these different intelligence mean? It means that we cannot simply measure wisdom by how much IQ and EQ level we have, rather Gardner proposes that the theory should “empower learners” so that they are not restricted to one type of learning. So maybe you can’t score 90% in your school test, that’s okay. Maybe your intelligence lie somewhere else. Gardner’s theory is proof it’s possible.
