What is Intelligence?
There are many different ideas on what
makes up intelligence.
Gardner believes that intelligence is…
• The ability to create a product or provide a
service that is valued in a culture
• A set of skills that allow us to solve
problems in life
• A potential for finding, gathering and creating
solutions to challenges
Activity
Do the “What is
Intelligence” task.
Gardner’s Eight Multiple Intelligences
Look out!
When Gardner first published
his theory there were only
eight multiple intelligences. This
was seen in the pie chart.
However, later on Gardner
suggested that a ninth
intelligence should be added to
the Multiple Intelligences Theory.
This ninth intelligence is…
Existential Intelligence
Linguistic Intelligence
Word Smart
The ability to use language to express
what's on your mind and to understand
other people.
Logical/Mathematical Intelligence
Logic Smart
The ability to understand and follow logical
systems, like a scientist, or to manipulate
numbers, quantities, and operations, like a
mathematician.
Musical/Rhythmic Intelligence
Music Smart
The ability to think in music; to be able to
hear patterns, recognize them, and perhaps
manipulate them. People with strong
musical intelligence have music in their
head most of the time!
Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence
Body Smart
The capacity to use your whole body or
parts of your body to solve a problem,
make something, or provide a service. Many
kinesthetic learners are physically active.
Visual/Spatial Intelligence
Picture Smart
The capacity to think in images and
pictures. As well, to visualize things in
detail and abstractly.
Naturalist Intelligence
Nature Smart
The ability to appreciate, recognize and
categorize plants, animals and other objects
in nature (rocks, lakes, etc.).
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Self Smart
Being able to understand yourself.
Intrapersonal thinkers are very good at
self-reflection. They know who they are,
what they can do, when they need help,
how they react to situations and which
things to avoid.
Interpersonal Intelligence
People Smart
The ability to understand other people
and interact with them. It's an ability we all
need, but is especially important for
teachers, clinicians, salespersons, or
politicians.
Existential Intelligence
Philosophy Smart
The ability to pose and ponder difficult
questions about life, death, and other
aspects of the world.

Role Play” activities.
