One of the greatest detrimental beliefs toward our self-growth and self-acceptance is to think of ourselves as “stupid”, “unworthy” or “unintelligent”.
None of us are “dumb”, as we are all born from an immensely intricate and intelligent life force that provides us all with different individual gifts.
In our current education systems, we find a great lack of respect and value for ourselves as individuals, instead teaching us to worship and strive towards “logical” and “intellectual” types of intelligence. This forces us all into the same pattern of thinking, and anyone who falls short of these standards of “intelligence” begin to see themselves as inferior to their peers.
We all bring a difference essence into this world. As a society, however, not all of these essences are as useful or lucrative so we begin to mold, teach, change, cut and add, so that soon, we have lost all of our natural shape and form. When a society wants you to be obedient, conformist and orthodox, this is a recipe for the destruction of your own unique intelligence.
Science is finally beginning to notice this, and new views on intelligence have emerged.
9 Types Of Intelligence
One such work is that of Dr. Howard Gardner who came up with a new theory about intelligence. In his 1983 book “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences” he proposed that people were much more complex than what could be revealed in an IQ test or any other standardized testing model. He argued that different people have different strengths (or intelligence types) and he came up with a set of 9 unique types.
The following is a description of all of these 9 types. These may not be all of the intelligence types that exist within the different regions of the brain, but they’re a starting point. While we share a little bit of all these types of intelligence’s, some will be more predominant than others within us.
Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)
Naturalistic intelligence refers to a human being’s sensitivity to the natural world. This is the ability to distinguish among nature’s different features such as animals, plants, rock configurations, cloud formations, and other such things.
Individuals who are high in this type of intelligence are more in tune with natureand are often interested in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about other species. These individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.

- May enjoy camping, gardening, hiking and exploring the outdoors.
- Interested in subjects such as botany, biology and zoology.
- Animals are attracted to them.
Visual-Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”)
Visual-Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities include mental imagery, a dynamic imagination, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and a creative imagination. Such is a common intelligence among artists, architects and engineers.
Idol: Leonardo Da Vinci

Linguistic Intelligence (“Word Smart”)
Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Though we are all competent with the use of meaningful symbology as language is; public speakers, novelists, journalists, and poets make use of their meta-linguistic skills.
Idol: Ernest Hemingway
Characteristics of Linguistic Intelligence
- Good at remembering written and spoken information.
- Good at debating or giving persuasive speeches.
- Often uses humor when telling stories.
- Able to explain things well.
- Enjoys reading and writing.
Logical and Mathematical Intelligence (“Number/Reasoning Smart”)
Logical-mathematical intelligence is what we are generally taught to believe is theonly type of intelligence. It is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations.
It allows us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought, as well as sequential reasoning skills, and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. This intelligence is often shared by mathematicians, programmers, scientists, and detectives.
Idol: Albert Einstein
Characteristics of Logical and Mathematical Intelligence
- Good and solving complex computations.
- Likes conducting scientific experiments.
- Enjoys thinking about abstract ideas.
- Excellent problem-solving skills.
Body and Movement Intelligence (“Body Smart”)
People with Body and Movement Intelligence have an almost perfect sense of timing, and their mind-body coordination is nearly faultless. Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit well-developed Body and Movement Intelligence.
Idol: Vaslav Nijinsky
Characteristics of Body and Movement Intelligence
- Enjoy creating things with their hands.
- Good at dancing and sports.
- Excellent physical coordination.
- Remembers kinesthetic sensations.
Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)
The intelligence involved in this ability is to recognize tone, rhythm, timbre, and pitch. With this type of intelligence, people are able to detect, generate, reproduce, and contemplate music as clearly exhibited by attuned listeners, musicians, composers, vocalists, and conductors.

It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives. Counselors, priests, personal coaches, and child carers all demand this intelligence in their fields.
Idol: Tony Robbins

Intrapersonal Intelligence (“Self Smart”)
Intrapersonal intelligence refers to people who have the remarkable ability to introspect and understand their thoughts, behavior and emotions. These people are capable of using this knowledge to guide their lives accordingly.
While Intrapersonal intelligence does involve self-exploration, by its very nature it also requires one to understand the human condition in general, as is the case with psychologists, spiritual leaders and philosophers.
Idol: Carl Jung
Characteristics of Intrapersonal Intelligence
- Clearly understands the basis for their own motivations and feelings.
- Good at analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.
- Enjoys analyzing theories and ideas.

Existential Intelligence (“Morally Smart”)
People with existential intelligence tend to mull over “deep” moral thoughts. These moral inquiries are not in the religiously moral sense, but more of an existential questioning of the why’s and how’s of life and death.
Most people fear thinking this way, of going too deep and thinking too much, but existentially intelligent individuals who are particularly aware of their own existence are drawn to exploring such questions. These questions can include for example, “Why are people born?”, “How do we get here?” and “Why do we die?” They also have the capacity and sensitivity to tackle thoughts about what lies beyond life and death.
Idol: Friedrich Nietzsche
Characteristics of Existential Intelligence
- Ruthless deep thinkers.
- They deeply crave for a sense of meaning.
- Highly sensitive to the significance of things.
- Often feel a sense of isolation from the world around them.
