Content: Gardner felt that this view of intelligence was too narrow and failed to capture the full range of human intellectual faculties. He argued instead that humans do not possess a unitary intelligence but rather, several different types of intelligence. He proposed eight different forms of intelligence, namely: Linguistic - The ability to learn and use languages in oral and written form, for example, through reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Logical-mathematical - The ability to engage in logical reasoning, display scientific thought, solve abstract problems, and perform mathematical calculations. Spatial - The ability to recognize and manipulate spatial images; involves a propensity for learning visually. Musical - The ability to compose, produce, and derive meaning from music and sound patterns. Bodily-kinesthetic - The ability to use one’s body skilfully to solve problems, create products, and express oneself. Naturalistic - The ability to recognize and differentiate elements of the natural world, including plants, animals, and weather patterns;
