Types of Intelligence

Types Of Intelligence:

In 1983 an American developmental psychologist Howard Gardener described 9
types of intelligence. When other scientists considered them as soft skills
Gardner recognized them as intelligence skills as he mentioned, being a math's
person gives you the understanding of numbers, the same way interpersonal
skills give you the understanding of human’s nature which is not everybody’s
cup of tea.

You have to be aware of your senses and remind them about your intelligence
skill. These skills help an individual to cope with stress relief, anxiety, depression and
other mental health related issues. They directly help your brain to function in a
stress-free manner.

Every human being’s mind is designed in such a way that they can develop the
intelligence skills mentioned below:

Naturalist- Understanding living things and reading nature gives you sensitivity towards the natural world. People having naturalist intelligence also pursue their career in the field of botanist or chef.

Musical- Discerning sounds, their pitch, tone, rhythm and timbre. This intelligence helps us to
understand, produce, and react to music. Interestingly there is a connection between music and
emotions. Music highly affects your mood and thinking.
