Multiple Intelligences
These intelligences are:
- Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
- Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)
- Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)
- Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)
- Musical intelligence (“music smart”)
- Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”)
- Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)
- Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”)
Multiple intelligences theory
1. Linguistic Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to use language to express oneself and comprehend written and spoken language. People with this type of intelligence excel in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding language.
2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to think logically, solve problems, and understand mathematical principles. People with this type of intelligence are skilled at problem-solving and abstract thinking.
3. Musical Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to think in and understand music. People with this type of intelligence are often skilled at playing instruments, singing, and composing music.
4. Spatial Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to think in pictures and interpret the environment. People with this type of intelligence are often skilled at visualizing objects, creating mental maps, and interpreting images.
5. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to use the body to express oneself and solve problems. People with this type of intelligence are often skilled at physical activities, such as sports and dancing.
6. Interpersonal Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to understand and relate to other people. People with this type of intelligence are often skilled at communicating, cooperating, and empathizing.
7. Intrapersonal Intelligence: This type of intelligence involves the ability to understand oneself and one’s emotions and motivations. People with this type of intelligence are often skilled at self-reflection, emotional regulation, and goal-setting.

Multiple Intelligences Theory links to learning styles in that it provides a framework for understanding how people learn and how to best facilitate their learning. It suggests that people have different types of intelligence, such as linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalist. Each of these can be used to develop a person's unique learning style. For example, a person with linguistic intelligence may prefer to learn through reading and writing, while a person with spatial intelligence may prefer to learn through visual aids. By understanding the different types of intelligence and how they can be used to create an individualized learning style, educators can more effectively teach their students.
- words (linguistic intelligence)
- numbers or logic (logical-mathematical intelligence)
- pictures (spatial intelligence)
- music (musical intelligence)
- self-reflection (intrapersonal intelligence)
- a physical experience (bodily-kinesthetic intelligence)
- a social experience (interpersonal intelligence), and/or
- an experience in the natural world. (naturalist intelligence)
