Jennifer Smith

2. Musical Intelligence
The band Dropkick Murphy’s from South Boston is my
representation of musical intelligence. They play a wide variety of
instruments including: bagpipes, a banjo, flutes, an accordion,
guitars, drums and more. They play at varying speeds and change
players of instruments during different songs. They exhibit a large
amount of musical intelligence.
Musical intelligence allows people to use patterns, sounds or
rhythm easier or have a better understanding of it than those with
lesser musical abilities. Some common characteristics are
enjoyment of singing or playing instruments, easily recognizing
tones and musical patterns, good memory for songs and melodies,
and a good understanding of notes, structure, and rhythm. These
people would do well in careers as musicians, music teachers,
singers and other music-related fields. The tend to be very
creative.

3. Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence
David Beckham is an English Association Footballer, and my example for Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence.
People displaying Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence are coordinated with their physical movement and have
excellent motor control. They are most often good at activities like dancing and sports, making things with their
hands, physical coordination, and remembering things by doing them rather than seeing or hearing examples.
They would do well in careers as builders, sculptors, dancers, and actors.

4. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Albert Einstein is a great example of Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. He was brilliant when it came to
logical, or scientific work and discovered things in the field of math that no one else had, which are still used
today. He was well equipped to solve mathematical operations and conduct intense problem solving with
ease.
Characteristics are excellent skills for problem-solving, thinking about abstract ideas, conducting scientific
experiments, and solving very complex computations with little or no difficulty.
They would be well suited for a career as a scientist, mathematician, accountant, computer programmer or
as an engineer in most all fields.

5. Linguistic Intelligence
Stephen King has very strong Linguistic Intelligence. He is one of the most popular
authors in the world and has written 155 titles in his career.
People excelling in this type of intelligence are often very good with language, writing,
and words . The can express themselves more so with words than individuals lacking
in this area.
People who lean toward this intelligence are often good at remembering spoken and
written items, enjoy reading and writing, and have a flair for explaining things, often
with a good bit of humor. They can also do quite well at persuading someone to see it
their way or holding up well in a debate. They are well suited in careers like writers,
journalists, teachers, tutors and lawyers.

6. Spatial Intelligence
Salvador Dali was known to be odd, to say the least, but displayed great Spatial Intelligence.
People displaying great Spatial Intelligence are often able to have detailed visualization skills.
They are often quite good with maps, videos, images and art. The commonly enjoy reading,
writing and are good with puzzles. They will tend to enjoy painting, drawing and other visual
arts and can recognize patterns easily.
They are well-suited for careers as architects, artists, and would also do well in some
engineering jobs.

7. Interpersonal Intelligence
Sigmund Freud had great Interpersonal Intelligence. He was a very famous psychologist and
therapist. He had great skills in understanding and relating to other people.
People who excel in this type of intelligence are often good at verbal communication and
skilled in non-verbal communication as well. They are able to see situations from many
perspectives, create good relationships with others and are good at resolving problems with
individuals or groups.
Common careers for this type would include psychologists, like Freud, philosophers,
counselors, and sometimes could include polititcians.

8. Intrapersonal Intelligence
Friedrich Nietzsche was a well-known and insightful Philosopher in his time. He is a good
example of Intrapersonal Intelligence. He discovered and wrote about many views he felt were
logical and many are still considered to be great words of his wisdom even in our modern
times. He was often discussed for his introspection and abilities of self-discovery.
People specializing in this type of intelligence are often excellent at analyzing strengths and
weaknesses along with theories and ideas. They usually tend to be very self-aware and would
hold a great deal of knowledge pertaining to their motivations and feelings. They would do well
in a career as Philosophers, Writers, Theorists or Scientists.

9. Naturalist Intelligence
Jane Goodall is my representation of Naturalist Intelligence. She is a personal hero of mine
and has done much to further the field of conservationism, animal welfare and education of
nature.
People who specialize in this type of intelligence often do well in finding patterns and
relationships in nature. They will be inclined to subjects like botany, biology and zoology. They
are often quite good at categorizing and classifying information they discover or observe.
Hobbies might include camping, hiking, exploring nature or gardening. They often do not enjoy
things un-related to the field of nature or animals. They would be suited best for careers as
Biologists, Conservationist, Gardeners or Farmers.
