The 9 Types Of Intelligence – What Your
Talents Reveal About You!

3
00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:19,011
As it turns out, being good at math or languages
aren’t the only ways to be considered intelligent!

4
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:23,025
Everyone is gifted - in their own way.

5
00:00:23,034 --> 00:00:27,118
Intelligence is broken down into nine different
types, and this categorization was first theorized

6
00:00:28,018 --> 00:00:33,044
by developmental psychologist, Howard Gardner,
in 1983.

7
00:00:33,044 --> 00:00:37,128
What other scientists thought were soft-skills,
such as interpersonal skills, Gardener realized

8
00:00:38,028 --> 00:00:41,034
they were actually different types of intelligence.

9
00:00:41,034 --> 00:00:46,037
We all have strengths and weaknesses in different
areas, and have the ability to discover, harness

10
00:00:46,064 --> 00:00:48,072
and develop our strengths.

11
00:00:48,072 --> 00:00:51,081
Yes, talent is intelligence combined with
effort!

12
00:00:52,062 --> 00:00:55,157
Many talented people spend a great deal of
time honing their intellect until it becomes

13
00:00:56,057 --> 00:00:58,088
an apparently effortless endeavor on their
part.

14
00:00:58,088 --> 00:01:02,139
So let’s see what your talents reveal about
your intelligence!

15
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:05,136
Number 1 - Naturalistic Intelligence

16
00:01:06,036 --> 00:01:10,054
With Naturalistic intelligence, you have a
great sensitivity to the natural world.

17
00:01:10,054 --> 00:01:14,120
You have the ability to distinguish among
nature’s different features such as plants

18
00:01:15,002 --> 00:01:19,070
and rock configurations, cloud formations,
and other such things.

19
00:01:19,088 --> 00:01:23,173
You may be able to connect with animals very
easily; or you may very well be known as someone

20
00:01:24,073 --> 00:01:25,212
with a “green thumb”.

21
00:01:25,869 --> 00:01:30,400
If so, then you are a great example of a nature
smart individual!

22
00:01:30,004 --> 00:01:36,042
This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary
past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers.

23
00:01:36,078 --> 00:01:41,097
Today, naturalistic intelligence remains a
vital component of roles among chefs as well

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:42,860
as botanists.

25
00:01:43,409 --> 00:01:48,830
This type of intelligence is also seen in
the way consumers discriminate among products.

26
00:01:48,083 --> 00:01:50,152
Number 2 - Musical Intelligence

27
00:01:51,052 --> 00:01:54,084
With Musical Intelligence, you're drawn towards
the musical arts.

28
00:01:54,084 --> 00:01:59,175
You're more sensitive to sounds than others,
and have the ability to recognize tone, rhythm,

29
00:02:00,075 --> 00:02:01,163
timbre, and pitch.

30
00:02:02,063 --> 00:02:06,145
With this type of intelligence, you are able
to detect, generate, reproduce, and contemplate

31
00:02:07,045 --> 00:02:14,106
music as clearly exhibited by attuned listeners,
musicians, composers, vocalists, and conductors.

32
00:02:15,006 --> 00:02:19,079
Musical smart people are frequently seen tapping
a beat, singing, or doing any other activity

33
00:02:19,079 --> 00:02:22,122
that demonstrates a rhythmic and melodic inclination.

34
00:02:23,022 --> 00:02:27,881
It is also interesting to note that a connection
has been shown to exist between emotions and

35
00:02:28,079 --> 00:02:31,450
music, as well as mathematics and music.

36
00:02:31,045 --> 00:02:34,104
Number 3 - Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

37
00:02:35,004 --> 00:02:39,009
This type of intelligence equips you with
the ability to calculate and carry out mathematical

38
00:02:39,054 --> 00:02:43,833
operations as well as mull over hypotheses
and propositions.

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,365
If you belong to the group of number or reasoning
smart individuals, then you tend to easily

40
00:02:48,779 --> 00:02:54,340
recognize relationships and patterns, demonstrate
sequential reasoning skills, and generate

41
00:02:54,034 --> 00:02:56,075
and use abstract thoughts.

42
00:02:56,075 --> 00:03:01,086
People with dominant logical intelligence
seem especially attracted to logic puzzles,

43
00:03:01,086 --> 00:03:04,915
experiments, strategy games, and arithmetic
problems.

44
00:03:05,689 --> 00:03:09,727
And they often become detectives, scientists,
and mathematicians.

45
00:03:10,069 --> 00:03:13,120
Number 4 - Existential Intelligence

46
00:03:13,012 --> 00:03:18,051
While most people go about their daily lives
without devoting much thought to their existence,

47
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:22,165
with your existential intelligence, you tend
to mull over deep thoughts.

48
00:03:22,219 --> 00:03:25,290
These thoughts may include the why’s and
how’s of life and death.

49
00:03:25,029 --> 00:03:30,148
You are particularly keen to your own existence,
and you are drawn to exploring questions such

50
00:03:30,409 --> 00:03:31,409
as:

51
00:03:31,409 --> 00:03:32,477
Why are people born?

52
00:03:33,089 --> 00:03:34,124
How did we get here?

53
00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:35,506
And why do we die?

54
00:03:36,109 --> 00:03:40,150
You also have the capacity and sensitivity
to tackle thoughts about what lies beyond

55
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:41,900
life and death.

56
00:03:41,009 --> 00:03:45,628
Though not much discussion has been done about
existential intelligence, it has also been

57
00:03:46,519 --> 00:03:49,900
called spiritual or moral intelligence.

58
00:03:49,009 --> 00:03:54,408
Life smart people with high existential intelligence
are deeply philosophical.

59
00:03:55,299 --> 00:03:57,308
Number 5 - Interpersonal Intelligence

60
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,280
With interpersonal intelligence, you have
the seemingly unique ability to get along

61
00:04:02,028 --> 00:04:03,126
superbly with others.

62
00:04:04,026 --> 00:04:08,085
You interact with others in such a way, that
you are able to understand and communicate

63
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:09,780
well.

64
00:04:09,078 --> 00:04:12,104
Interpersonal intelligence makes it possible
for you to effectively communicate through

65
00:04:13,004 --> 00:04:18,028
verbal and nonverbal means, to distinguish
among others, to sense the temperament and

66
00:04:18,028 --> 00:04:22,044
moods of people, and to consider various points
of views.

67
00:04:22,044 --> 00:04:27,363
People smart individuals are usually found
among politicians, social workers, actors,

68
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:29,370
and teachers.

69
00:04:29,037 --> 00:04:32,068
Number 6 - Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence

70
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:36,707
While clumsy people have the tendency to be
awkward in all things physical, you possess

71
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:42,450
the capacity to stay graceful and coordinated
when using a range of physical skills as well

72
00:04:42,045 --> 00:04:43,284
as manipulating objects.

73
00:04:43,689 --> 00:04:48,737
You have an almost perfect sense of timing,
and your mind-body coordination is nearly

74
00:04:49,169 --> 00:04:50,169
flawless.

75
00:04:50,169 --> 00:04:56,180
Body smart people usually become craftspeople,
dancers, surgeons, athletes, or pursue other

76
00:04:56,018 --> 00:05:00,062
careers that similarly involve exceptional
mind-body union.

77
00:05:00,062 --> 00:05:02,671
Number 7 - Linguistic Intelligence

78
00:05:03,229 --> 00:05:07,660
With linguistic intelligence, you have the
capacity to think in words and use these to

79
00:05:07,066 --> 00:05:08,165
make yourself understood.

80
00:05:09,065 --> 00:05:13,093
This type of word smart intelligence allows
you to appoint complex meanings and express

81
00:05:13,093 --> 00:05:15,100
these through the use of language.

82
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,919
Though this human competence is widely used,
it is most evident in the way effective public

83
00:05:20,919 --> 00:05:26,924
speakers, novelists, journalists, and poets
make use of their meta-linguistic skills.

84
00:05:27,419 --> 00:05:29,491
Number 8 - Intrapersonal Intelligence

85
00:05:30,139 --> 00:05:35,139
With intrapersonal intelligence, you have
the remarkable ability to understand yourself,

86
00:05:35,139 --> 00:05:39,164
your thoughts, and your emotions; and you
are capable of using this knowledge to plan

87
00:05:39,389 --> 00:05:40,392
your life.

88
00:05:40,689 --> 00:05:45,680
While intrapersonal intelligence does involve
self-appreciation, it also comprises a wider

89
00:05:45,068 --> 00:05:47,134
understanding of the human condition.

90
00:05:48,034 --> 00:05:55,333
Examples of self smart people include philosophers,
spiritual leaders, writers, and psychologists.

91
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,030
Number 9 - Spatial Intelligence

92
00:05:58,003 --> 00:06:02,912
With spatial intelligence, you have the capacity
to consider things in three dimensions.

93
00:06:02,939 --> 00:06:08,900
This type of intelligence involves a dynamic
imagination, image manipulation, mental imagery,

94
00:06:08,009 --> 00:06:11,087
artistic and graphic skills, and spatial reasoning.

95
00:06:12,068 --> 00:06:15,149
People with spatial intelligence are highly
creative, and this type of intelligence is

96
00:06:16,049 --> 00:06:23,105
demonstrated mainly by picture smart people,
such as architects, sculptors, painters, pilots,

97
00:06:24,005 --> 00:06:25,005
and sailors.

98
00:06:25,005 --> 00:06:29,005
There you have it - the nine domains of intelligence
according to Howard Gardner.
