    • Intelligence is not fixed, it's flexible and varies across individuals.
    • Intelligence depends on genetic factors and personal experiences.
    • Gardner initially proposed 7 types; two more types and further constructs have been added.

    1. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

    • This involves analyzing problems logically, performing mathematical operations, and exploring scientific questions.
    • Individuals with this type of intelligence excel in calculations, quantifying, considering propositions, and performing complex logical operations.
    • They are skilled in sequential and inductive reasoning, and comfortable with equations and proofs in mathematics and physics.

    2. Linguistic Intelligence

    • Linguistic intelligence relates to fluency in spoken and written language use.
    • People with this type of intelligence can learn languages, express ideas effectively, appreciate meanings in both verbal and written communication.
    • They skillfully analyze and create verbal and written products.

    3. Spatial Intelligence

    • This relates to the ability to recognize and manipulate patterns in both wide and confined spaces.
    • People with this skill comprehend three-dimensional space, and effectively manage spatial images (detailed and large-scale).
    • They have strong visual-spatial reasoning skills & often have vivid imaginations. Examples include architects, pilots, navigators, surgeons, and sculptors.

    4. Body-Kinesthetic Intelligence

    • This refers to the ability to utilize the whole body or parts of it to solve problems and create products.
    • Examples include skilled athletes, dancers, surgeons, mechanics, or physical therapists.
    • They have excellent control of voluntary movements & a deep mind-body connection.
