The notion of multiple intelligences made me curious,
so I did a Google search for "Joseph Gardner multiple

1. Linguistic Intelligence is defined by the
following: 

- a deep understanding of words and a sensitivity to
the literal and figurative meanings of words, 
- highly developed oral and written communication
skills, 
- knowledge of grammar rules and when it is
appropriate to disregard those rules, 
- sensitivity to the musical qualities and rhythms of
words, 
- knowledge of the many different uses for language,
such as persuasion, information, or pleasure. 

Poets, writers, and public speakers are examples of
linguistically intelligent people. Maya Angelou,
William Shakespeare, and Abraham Lincoln are famous
examples of linguistically intelligent people. 
 
2. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is defined by the
following: 

- an ability to understand numbers and logical
concepts well, 
- an ability to perceive numerical and logical
patterns, 
- possession of highly developed reasoning skills, 
an understanding of abstract analysis and functions. 

Physicists, computer programmers, and business
executives, such as accountants, are examples of
logical-mathematically intelligent people. Albert
Einstein and Bill Gates are famous examples of people
with strengths in this intelligence. 

3. Musical-Rhythmic Intelligence is defined by the
following criteria: 

- an ability to discern and express musical forms, 
sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, or melody, 
- sensitivity to timbre, or a highly developed ability
to distinguish the sound of a violin from that of a
flute, viola, human voice, or cello. 

Composers, musicians, and conductors are examples of
careers for musically intelligent people. Beethoven,
cellist Yo Yo Ma, and conductor Arturo Toscanini are
famous examples of musically intelligent people. 

4. Spatial intelligence is defined by the following
criteria: 

- sensitivity to the relationship between line, color,
shape, space, and form, 
- ability to manipulate and mentally rotate real
objects, 
- the capacity to create a graphic likeness of a real
object, 
- the ability to understand the components of visual
and spatial displays within the graphic arts. 

Graphic artists, architects, and map-makers are
examples of spatially intelligent jobs. People who
excel at reading maps, playing chess, drawing diagrams
and illustrations, repairing machinery, understanding
geometry, and completing jigsaw puzzles are spatially
intelligent. 

5. Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence is define by the
following criteria: 

- highly developed coordination, balance, dexterity,
strength, speed, and flexibility, 
- expertise in using the entire body to relate
thoughts and feelings, 
- an ability to manipulate objects skillfully, using
both fine and gross motor movements. 

Dancers, football players, and gymnasts are examples
of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Classmate Camille
Dierterle, Joe Montana, and Kerrie Strug are examples
of people with this intelligence. 

6. Interpersonal Intelligence is defined by the
following criteria: 

- an ability to perceive and make distinctions in the
moods, characteristics, intentions, temperaments,
motivations, and feelings of other people, 
- a sensitivity to those distinctions, acknowledged by
treating each individual with their personal
distinctions in mind. 

Those who have highly developed interpersonal
intelligence are successful leaders, bosses, public
speakers, and military officers. Martin Luther King
Jr., Franklin Roosevelt, and Norman Schwartzkopf are
famous examples of successful people with
interpersonal intelligence. 

7. Intrapersonal Intelligence is defined by the
following criteria: 

- highly developed self-knowledge, defined as having
accurate knowledge of one’s dreams, goals, strengths,
limitations, moods, anxieties, desires, and
motivations, 
- the ability to act on the basis of self-knowledge,
creating environments, guiding behavior, and making
decisions based on an accurate picture of oneself. 

People that have intrapersonal intelligence know
themselves well. They aren’t forced into molds, and
they make descisions based on what is right for
themselves. They possess a strong sense of idenity and
purpose.
