With Gardner’s theory, there are 7 types of intelligence. The first is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. This intelligence is normally associated with science and math. Second on the list is Linguistic Intelligence. Linguistic intelligence can be described as the ability to fluently maneuver words in a way to express yourself through speaking regularly or poetically. You can also use this form of intelligence to remember information. Next on the list is Spatial Intelligence. This is where an individual can create images to solve problems It is believed by Gardner that blind children form this type of intelligence ( I’m intrigued about this, and will research more on how blind children can accomplish this).

An interesting fact is that you need auditory functions to recognize pitch & tone, but not rhythm. Moving on, Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence is the ability to use your mental thoughts to control your body movements. The sixth intelligence is Interpersonal. This is best described as the ability to sense feelings & intentions of others. Immediately I thought of how animals act once they get around people, or how they act when we get around them.
