Howard Gardner is an influential theorist known for his theory of multiple intelligences. He proposed that rather than a single intelligence, people possess combinations of at least eight distinct intelligences: musical, bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, linguistic, spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Gardner's theory challenges the traditional view of intelligence as measured by IQ tests and has significantly impacted education by encouraging teaching methods that engage different types of intelligence.

14. Breaking the Intelligence’s Down Sensitivity to, and capacity to discern, logical or numerical patterns; ability to handle long chains of reasoning. Certain parts of the brain are more prone to mathematical equations than other. Sensitivity to the meaning of sounds, rhythms and meaning of words, sensitivity to the different functions of language. Broca’s area of the brain is responsible for grammatical sentences. Logical –Mathematical Intelligence Linguistic Intelligence

15. Breaking the Intelligence’s Down Capacities to perceive the visual-spatial world accurately and to perform transformations on one’s initial perceptions. The posterior regions of the right cerebral cortex prove most crucial for spatial processing. Capacities to discern and respond appropriately to the moods, temperaments, motivations, and desires of other people. Interpersonal Intelligence builds on a core capacity to notice distinctions among others. Spatial Intelligence Interpersonal Intelligence

16. Breaking the Intelligence’s Down Access to one’s own feelings and the ability to discriminate among them and draw on them to guide behavior; knowledge of one’s own strengths. Abilities to recognize plants and animals, to make distinctions in the natural world, to understand systems and define categories. Intrapersonal Intelligence Naturalist Intelligence
